DEAN PORTER College of Liberal Arts It is the love of learning which is, and always has been the sustaining force in every College of Liberal Arts. The success attained by a College of Liberal Arts and its value to society are comniensurable with the degree to which this motive dominates the members of its faculty and permeates its student body. An institution is great when its faculty are scholars and its students are eager in the pursuit of knowledgew when they are not drawn but led to the fountains of intellectual inspiration, and drink of the waters for the sheer satisfaction Which they bring. This is an ideal. It is one towards which the College of Liberal Arts of the University of Tennessee is working, and we believe we are making progress. Immediate material rewards need not be expected by the student Who seeks knowledge for its own sake. History is full of pioneers in intellectual research Whose names shine like stars in the firmament. They died poor; discovery of the truth was their reward. From their sowing posterity has reaped the harvest of great material prosperity. When the love of learning dies the College of Liberal Arts dies, material progress ceases, and society stagnates. eJ.
