JUSTUS F. SOULE, M. A. Dean of the College of Liberal Arts; Dean of Men. The College of Liberal Arts iU? The College of Liberal Arts is pledged to the study of the Universal things in human life, and has as its content those activities that all men carry on, those deeds that a man must do in virtue of the fact that he is a man. Every human being is faced by three commanding intellectual questions as long as he lives. The first is the problem of the vast world of nature, the world of things outside him, the largest and outermost circle, within which his whole life is spent. The second is the problem of mankind, the world of persons outside him. the smaller circle inside the vaster circle of nature. Within this large, but lesser circle, he must also spend his whole life unless he retires to a desert. The third is the problem of individual man, the tiny world of self, the center of all his interests in the large world of mankind and the larger world of nature. Here is the fixed center of all our education, whatever be its circumference. Answers to these problems are written in mathematics and science, in history, political science and economics, in languages and literature, and finally in philosophy that attempts the whole problem. These are the subjects studied in the College of Liberal Arts.
