Educators Trace School's
History; Liberal Arts
Future Discussed{
Reviewing the College of Litera-
ture, Science, and the Arts' century
of activity, Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, Wil-
liam W. Cook Professor of American
Institutions, emphasized yesterday
that "this college, its administrationf
and its faculty have faithfully ex-t
ecuted the trust placed upon them."
Speaking before the morning ses-i
sion of the Centennial program, Pro-I
fessor Reeves recalled the difficult
four years prior to the start of the
first classes in 1841. He brought to
the minds of the assembled educators
how the chief problem at this timer
was not so much that of educating
students as it was that of educating
the State Legislature to a sense of
responsibility for adequate financial
support.
Graduates Six Students
Next quoting statistics of growth.
Professor Reeves pointed out how the
first graduating class consisted of
six students: how until 1885 Michi-
gan was still a small college of 500
students; and how today the literary
college numbers 5,000. He concluded:
"Education and the means of educa-
tion shall forever be encouraged."
Prof. John G. Winters, chairman
of the Latin department, reviewed
the progress of the language and lit-
erature departments.
He divided the history of these
schools into three periods, and dis-
cussed each of these separately. The
first or classical period, he explained,
began with the founding of the Uni-
versity in 1841 and lasted until the
middle of the nineteenth century. It
was4 marked by tremendous interest
in classical language. In fact, at the
beginning of the period there were
no modern language classes and Eng-
lish Rhetoric was merely a subdivi-
sion of the Latin and Greek depart-
ment.
"German" Period
The second period has been called
the German period because the Uni-
versity, following the lead' of other
American schools, carefully copied
the methods of the German gym-
nasiums. With this period came an
unprecedented stress on modern lan-
guage and rhetoric. The classics were
studied with a more scientific exact-
ness and the whole period was mark-
ed by a high degree of scholarship.
The last period began when Angell
became president of the University.
Center Will Show
Films Of Campus,
7:30 P.M.Sunday
Colored movies of University ac-
tivities and the University campus
will be shown under the auspices of
the International Center at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday in Alumni Memorial Hall.
The movies were made for the
Alumni Association and will be pre-
sented by T. Hawley Tapping, gen-
eral-secretary of the association.
Scenes of campus activities, such
as initiations into honorary societies
and football games, candid shots of
campus personalities and views of
new buildings are included, in the
films.
Arrangement have been made for
a talk on the portraits of distin-
guished former faculty members now
on exhibition in one of the galleries
of the hall. All the galleries of the
building, including the one with the
Near Eastern art exhibition, will be
opened. The program is free and
open to the public..
Professor Winters described it as thei
University period. At that time theI
school, which had always been calleds
a university, became one in actu-t
ality. The schools were divided andi
professors with specialized trainingc
were hired.
Following Professor Winter in thec
morning program, Prof. A. F. Shull1
of the zoology department pointedt
cut the high esteem with which sci-t
ence has been held by the planners
of the liberal arts college, citing as t
examples Asa Gray, botanist, the
first professor, and the second ap-t
pointment, Douglas Houghton, inf
chemistry, zoology and minerology.I
Speaking on the "Achievements in
Science in the College of Literature,
Science, and the Arts." Piofessor{
Shull praised the success and acieve-
ments of University's science studies,
the University Observatory and the
Michigan-6wned Lamont-Hussey Ob-
servatory at Blowmfontein, South
Africa.
Social Sciences Grow
Concluding the morning exercises,
Prof, Arthur E. Boak, of the history
department, presented a picture of
the growth of the teaching of the
social sciences throughout the
school's one hundred year history.
Not until the coming of President
Tappan in 1852, said Boak, were the
social sciences given, a chance to or-
ganize in any logical fashion. For
some time previous to that the only
professorship in the social sciences
was that of moral and intellectual
philosophy. Today however, the di-
vision is one which helps to integrate
the individual departments.
The Future
Of Education
Contrasting the educational sys-
tem of a democracy with those of
the totalitarian states, Dr. Martin
ten Hoor, in a speech entitled "Some
Problems of Education in a Democ-
racy," called for an educational sys-
tem based on intelligent direction of
the students' thoughts toward the
moral choices which are necessary to
democratic life.
Denouncing those educators who
are concerned with nothing but ex-
periment, Dr. ten Hoor set up the
alternative of an education in the
humanities aimed at the realization
that democracy itself is an experi-
ment and that the requisite for demo-
cratic living is the correct choice of
alternatives in the social experiment
of democracy.
Wisconsin Dean Speaks
in his discussion of the "Problems
and Future of LiberalhArts Educa-
tion," Dr. George Clarke Sellery,
Dean of the College of Letters and
Science, University of Wisconsin,
agreed that the primary purpose of
the College of Liberal Arts is the un-
derstanding of human nature, the
broadening of human interests, and
the better appreciation of the values
pf human life.
He went on to discuss the five main

ing that the College of Liberal Arts sored by the Chinese Students' Club
can never be destroyed he quoted of the University last Friday to com-
Wisconsin's great President Van Hise, memorate the 30th anniversary of

Arts is the trunk of the university lic. The proceeds will be forwarded

university.
Citing the aloofness and conserva-
tism of the liberal art colleges, Henry
Allen Moe, speaking on the same
topic from the point of view of the
educational foundations suggestedj
that for continued utility the colleges
show their usefulness by demonstrat-
ing the meaning and results of liberal
education.
Judge Concludes
Concluding the discussion, thnl Hon.
Florence E. Allen, judge of the U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, stated that
it is the duty of the liberal arts col-
lege to send out the graduate physi-
cally strong, both practically and
emotionally adjusted, with a mind
alert to the understanding of the
scource and significance of the social
processes which will have their im-
pact not only upon her, but upon her
family, sensitive to and capable of

erature, and the arts.
