We study at Wilson . . Seven years ago, The Chicago Board of Education recommended that a junior col- lege be established in order .nat Chicago ' s many serious-minded young men and f women who wished to continue their edu- cation might do so. The chief purpose was to offer a well-organized program of gen- eral education. Some of the objectives indi- cated were to enhance social intelligence, to broaden the students ' cultural outlook on I life, and to prepare them to meet the respon- sibilities of life, through the knowledge of themselves primarily, and of the world and their relation to it. The survey courses offered in the junior college are the mechanics by which the purposes are fulfilled. A study of man from prehistoric ages to the present, covering religion, literature, the arts, philosophy, and science in the Humanities survey course tends to give a cultural background to the students. The development of modern in- stitutions, government, society, economics and family life are presented in the Social Science survey course. The Physical Sci- ence survey course cttempts to demonstrate the relation of mathematics, geology, phys- ics, and chemistry to the universe. The Biological Science survey course offers a general knowl- edge of the human body and the plant kingdom. All survey courses follow the same general plan: lectures by scholars proficient in their special fields of knowledge, and weekly discussions.

Study hard offers a considerable number of vocational courses which prepare the students who are interested in business. Excellent training is given in retail selling, merchandising, sten- ography, bookkeeping, accounting, and fly- ing in the recently added aviation course. Special emphasis, of course, is placed upon study and with the aid of an excep- tionally well-equipped and well-adminis- tered library, the process is comparatively easy. More than fifty-five thousand vol- umes enable the students to study any sub- ject, old or new, in all of its aspects. One of the pronounced aims of the staff is to keep the library up-to-date. It possesses a cur- rent periodicals section and magazines, newspapers, pamphlets and other publica- tions from all parts of the world are received daily. In addition to this, the library com- prises a considerable collection of art works and reference material. The major objective of the college and its administration is to prepare and to send into the world men and women who hove be- c ome more intelligent and better educated and who will help to create a better world for themselves and for those who will follow. An excellent faculty, good equipment, ambi- tion, earnestness, and the will to learn are in existence in the junior college today. Undoubtedly, with the group of serious- minded young men and women who seek a liberal education, the ends for which we strive are not hard to accomplish.
