The Library The Graduate School GlIpHE Graduate School exists for the promotion of research and tor the training ot young people who expect to devote them selves to advanced scholarship and research. This is the purpose that lies back of the earnest work of that picked group of young men and women who are candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. This group constitutes about half of the students m the Graduate School. Then there is that other group of students whose aims are less ambitious. These are graduates who seek an additional year of technical training represented by the Master ' s degree. This training may not be important from the point of view of scholarly research, but it is highly mportant to the group of college graduates who are training themselves for better service to society. Instruction m the graduate years is supposed to be made up of actual participation in research. Unfortunately this ideal can be only partially attained — nevertheless, course work is sup- posed to be kept at a minimum. When we reach our ideal, course work will be largely confined to the undergraduate years- Charles S. Slighter Dean ! ' 9l

Engineering Building College of Engineering SSAOISCONSIN ' S College of Engineering represents one of the ' ' phases of activity of the University which depend upon progress in scientific discovery. Without its scientific basis engineering would be a matter of practical skill, of which little could be taught in a school. In the promotion of its work, it is believed that the college should be concerned not only with the in- struction of young men m the use of the tools which science makes available, but also in the conduct of research in the better and more exact application of scientific principles to the work of the engineer. The increased attention given in recent years to the latter field of activity is noteworthy, not only in this institution, but in the engineering schools throughout the country. At the same time, our manufacturing industries are becoming increasingly dependent upon the latest scientific discoveries. These conditions are bringing about a very con- siderable degree of co-operation between the engineering col- lege and the industries in the research problems concerned, — a development which should he ot much benefit to all concerned.

t! . Home Economics Building Home Economics School The years bring change. Life ' s not a standing still. Ideals seem outworn. Youth dreams anew and calls his dreams his own. IjUITE knows not roots in customs old and faith long phrased in years before his time, that tie his thoughts and dominate his moods; but thus the world has held its steadfast course, and generations yet to come will learn anew the same old round of truth and honor based on family laws developed and enabled in homes made strong through mutual love and sacrifice for those who carry on. The home stands first before the rule of school or town and on Its courage to stand fast must rest the peace of all the world. Who knows but you may change the hopes and banish fear through wider study and saner life within the homely round of daily task. Be sure the new has goodness for its goal before the older faiths are dead. Man passes, but the customs made by man hold long and firm their grip on men to come. They are the stay props in a world of change and yet: The unknown world awaits; they will go on! What other trails may open, I dare not guess: Life is before them — and the unborn years! Abbv L.
