H. Schneider, B.S., Sc.D. Dean of the College of Engineering and Commerce I tell my students freciuently and frankly that I am not for a minute inter- ested in training them to make money, or to possess sharper mental tools to edge out an easier life than the other fellow, or even to build bridges or run factories or devise mechanisms just for the act of building or running or devising. The real game of life has no such narrow limitations; and fortunately most yoimg people don ' t want such Umitations. If a student graduates from this school with the idea of getting all he can for himself and of giving as little as possible of himself; of accjuiring a material pile at the cost of a dwarfed inner self; of measuring success by tangible values rather than by intangible values; then I have failed in my job, and so have they. . c

F. W. Chandlek, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Dean of the College of Liberal Arts The College of Liberal Arts in any university performs an essential service. Unlike the various professional schools, it aims to provide general rather than specific education. Unlike the Graduate School, it makes no attempt to extend the bounds of knowledge. Instead, it diffuses knowledge and develops mental powers, rendering its students free of the republic of learning, able to think and act independently, not in one capacity alone, but in many. Thus, it lays the surest foundation upon which special studies can build. Students in the College of Arts of the University of Cincinnati are deferring their professional preparation in order to approach it more intelligently. They are endeavoring, under expert guidance, to survey the world of nature and man with a view to attaining a better understanding and enjoyment of all the values of life rather than just of those which contribute to the practice of some particular vocation.

L. A. Pechsteix, Ph.D. Dean of the College of Education To the Student Body : Science has late ' y been studying human genius. Here is the verdict: — the genius is gifted bj ' nature, true; yet he rises to greatness only if he hkewise dis- plays persistence, confidence, and force of character. Alma Mater would give character equal place with intellect. You have proved and developed your intel- lectual powers through twelve or more years of schooling. Are your ideals equally well educated? Alma Mater zealously cherishes your dual progress.
