Frank Y. Chandler, A.B., A. M . Ph.D. Dean of the College of Liberal Arts COLLEGE of liberal arts is an essential part of every university in this iV4 ll country, and it is out of sueh colleges that the universities, as a rule, have grown. Whereas the professional schools train for specific occup ations and the graduate school seeks to encourage original investigation, the liberal college is con- cerned with affording that general training which is fundamental to culture. The liberal college aims to afford a survey of principles in the chief departments of knowl- edge, a more intimate acquaintance with at least one of these departments, and, most important of all, a disciplined mind and developed personality. Its gift to the student is not technical skill nor mere information, but rather incentive and guidance in realising his best possibilities and attaining a grasp upon the meaning of life.

R. C. Gowdy Acting Dean of the College of Engineering and Commerce {COMMENCEMENT stirs many emotions. To some it is a relief, to others a Wb regret, many feel highly confident and hopeful, a few, perhaps, are over- modest as they look upon their futures, and for all there is at least a touch of sadness in leaving friends, associations and material surroundings which through years have provided the experiences of daily life. The University has done its best to provide the means for moral, mental, and physical development. The results of this training depend on character, industry, and originality, and these traits, no amount or kind of formal teaching can alone create. 20
