DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENTS 49 DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENTS ART AND DESIGN This work subserves a threefold purpose: (i) It affords students the opportunity to acquire such a knowledge of freehand drawing as their chosen courses may require. (2) It offers such as have a talent or taste for art the best facilities for pursuing studies in all branches of fine art. (3) It offers those who wish to become teachers of drawing special opportunities for study. Special students, not otherwise connected with the University, may enter this department upon payment of moderate fees. For such students a fourth year of work is offered in drawing, painting, modeling, or design, as they may elect. Lectures are given each year on lettering, design, historic ornament, perspective, and the theory of color. Students are required to submit one or more plates in each subject. ECONOMICS The work in economics for undergraduates is so arranged that the student can take a continuous course for from one to three years. The introductory courses are repeated each year, and the advanced courses are divided into two groups and given in alternate years. The courses are designed to cover as large a field as possible in the literature of the subject, and to present all disputed matters from different points of view. Educational development, acquaintance with the subject, and training for good citizenship, are ends kept steadily in view. Minor courses in sociology are provided for in the department. ENGLISH LANQUAGE AND LITERATURE The courses are designed to give a continuous view of the twofold subject from the earliest times to our own day. In the junior and senior years double courses are offered, so that students, having had the fundamental work of the sophomore year, may, if desired, confine themselves either to philology or to literature. The aim in the study of literature i's to approach the works of an author from the philosophical, emotional, and esthetic, as well as from the merely linguistic and historical points of view. 4
