College ol Liberal Arts 1 HE College of Liberal Arts is the traditional nucleus around which all of the other departments are built. The original subjects taught are those which lead to free life, and liberate, hence this college is called the College of Liberal Arts. The curriculum has been changed to such an extent that now the prof fessional subjects have been put in other def partments. The present purpose of the inf struction in the College of Liberal Arts is that all the subjects taught are liberal, cul' tural subjects. Since the professional sub' jects are taught in different departments, there is limited specialization. The work in the departments of the College of Liberal Arts is culminated at graduation by the con' ferring of the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The College of Liberal Arts is the only college which gives the masters degree. The Ph. D. degree could be given it the library facilities and popular demand warranted it. F .

HESE are stirring days. There are wars and rumors of wars, floods and famines and earthquakes, but this is not the end. These disturbances are but the birth pangs of a new age. A student of today cannot be content with a narrow vision or with a small field of activif ties or with restricted sympathies. Science has made the world small. A new humanism must make of it a brotherhood. When the founders named their educaf tional venture PaciHc they had in mind breadth, calmness, and mighty tides of influf ence for good to sweep the new basin. In the twentieth century we are beginning to realize their ideals. Students of today heed the call to solve the problems of human relationships, to trans' form the nations of the world into the King- dom of God. This call to noble service is the richest heritage that your Alma Mater can give you. By service you will enrich yourself, your Alma Mater, and the world. TULLY C. KNOLES. The Call of Service

Harris dentials of the following kinds: credenf tial for special subjects, such as music, art, dramatics, and physical educaf tiong general secondary grades. Since moving to Stockton, the School of Education has attracted to its classes teachers in service, who are seeking to improve their quality of Work by studying present theory and practice of education, and those seeking higher credentials. As an outgrowth of the establishment of fifth year Work for general high school subjects, there came in 1926 a provision for Master of Arts Work in several departments. mi . - I' tyt
