AIMS AND SCOPE The College of Literature and Arts includes those branches usually comprised in a department of philosophy and arts, with the exception of the natural sciences. The aim of the College is a double one: to furnish a liberal education, and to afford the largest opportunity for specialization in literary and philosophical subjects. It is believed that this double purpose can be best accomplished by a judicious combination of disciplinary and information studies, which, while so directing the work of the student as to secure the desired mental training, shall also allow him large liberty of choice both in his main lines of work and in subjects auxiliary thereto. In accordance with this general plan, it is provided that students may graduate either under the general course system or under the specialized course, or group, system. THE GENERAL COURSE SYSTEM A general course is one in which less than three years' work in any one subject, or group.of allied subjects, is required for graduation, and in which no thesis is required.
