KROENCKE, Dean Hm IHUHHIHHIHIHH THE RECORD PRESUME if a father should ask his son and at that a graduate of the College of Liberal Arts, Son, just what is a college of liberal arts.gn he might find it difficult to give a precise definition. 50 write this on your cuH. Hi It is a center of culture in that it offers a broad cultural training in the social sciences, the natural sciences, and the humanities tinclusive of the languages, music, art, and frequently also educations. It thus enables the graduate to live his life as an intelligent and useful citizen. It further- more, if under the influence of the church, strengthens the faith of the stu- dent and returns him to his congregation in addition as an intelligent and useful church member. tn It is the preparatory school for future graduate work in that it enables the student to secure his pre- liminary training in some field of human knowledge in Which he later desires to excel as a scholar to the well being of society. in It is the gateway to the professional school in that it lays the foundation for future training in such fields of service as law, nursing or medi- cine. Graduate, recall these values! 22 LIBRARY
