ments of the College of Liberal
Arts.'
This division is generally rec
ognized as being the best in the
University. Its library and pro
fessors are, in toto,. better. Its
students, however, contribute
anything from dunderheads to
brilliant scholars. It prepares
a student to do nothing, least
of all be satisfied with life in
general. He may teach school
or he may specialize after grad
uation. Students have no right
to expect an education in prac
ticalities from so sketchy a
course.:."'. :
This is a time of questioning,
an age of investigation, and an
era of analyzation. . It is no un
common thing for one to seek
and search for enlightenment on
every subject under the sun.
Everything that we have as an
accepted tradition or as an es
tablished principle has come in
for its share of analyzation with
the hope that we might further
the knowledge and the happi
ness of the world. ' Thus our
present educational system has
come beneath the microscopic
. eye of the critical publicand at
last to the specialist in investi
gation, the college student.
: The College of Liberal "Arts
is nothing more than a series of
' courses intended to give the stu
dent an education in a broad and
"comprehensive way. It aims to
familiarize the student with the
problems of life, and of human
relations, to create or develop
lege; especially the College '. of
uoerai Arts. Most men who
are here today in that school are
after a diploma and not an ed
ucation, or a knowledge of. 'hu
man problems and their solu
tion. .
' One student says : "In three
history courses that I have had,
the 'prof has rigidly stuck his
nose into the pages of the text
and in a conversational tone
'lectured' (from the text that
had read the night before) be
lieving that he was duping us
into a belief that he was actually
thinking out what he said. Not
once during these courses--the
same is true with othersdid
the professors strike one note
of color, or say one wor,d of
imaginative, creative thinking."
Edward Aswell writing in the
November Forum says it ' ad
mirably : "The modern college
professor is a specialist. He
keeps his nose glued to a micro
scope. If his subject is history,
he delves in the dust of ages,
grubs about among yellow, tat-
ered parchments, and gathers
up the dry bones of the past.
And too often passes .them on to
the students dry bones, that's
all. A successful teacher of his
tory must pass on something
more, must . possess something
of the skill of the artist who
takes a fragment of the frieze
of the Parthenon and, by imbib
ing the spirit of thi3 fragment,
restores it to some semblence of
their first perfection. , Lacking
