is TO supply the higher educational needs
OF the state.
These needs constantly extend and
| broaden AS old almost as the state, the
| University OF Utah also enjoys the dis
tinctlon Of having grown UP with the
state: Today. sixty years since the
verslty. Offering the attractions and ad-
vantages which our modern American
| commonwealth demands.
| The University Of Utah at present
comprises a group of schools. They
are the school of arts and sciences, the
| school of mines, and the normal school.
Entrance TO any OF these schools re-
quires at least four years of high school
work: and graduation from any OF these
requires at least four years OF college
work. Beyond the four years OF work
| leading 10 the bachelors degree, the uni
rersity also provides opportunities for
| graduate study, one year of which leads
TO the masters degree.
The result OF this organization, by
which at least fonr years OF high school
! work are required for entrance and at
| least four years Of college work for
graduation, is to put the University OF
| Utah upon footing with the best COL
leges of the country. Students OF the
University OF Utah enter Cornell, Column
bia Pennsylvania and Harvard without
loss OF credits. and students from other
universities pursue courses In the Unver-
| sity Of Utah without fear as to the rela-
tive value of the Utah degree.
From the combination OF the various
under one management many advan-
tages result. Such combination is eco
nomical. In Utah. any attempt TO main
| tain these schools separately would in
crease their cost TO the state beyond the
point a: which the state could afford
them. From combination, again, results
n community OF students pursuing differ
ent courses and actuated by different
purposes in securing a higher education.
| Associating on an equal footing and held
together by loyalty to the university,
students In arts. education. engineering
medicine, law, not only find narrowness
difficult. but develop respect and admira-
tion for callings which are not to he their
own This grouping OF schools secures
teaching force and student body than
would otherwise be possible. Numbers
as we'll as variety of interests. give Sig
nifcance to the social impact OF univer-
sity life
The schools OF the university are alike
In aiming TO provide broad training In
citizenship. But each pursues It's own
method and places emphasis in its own
way. Students will. therefore. choose
that school which meets their own par
ticular needs and directly prepares for
the kind OF career which they expect tc
follow.
School of Arts and Sciences.
In the school OF arts and sciences the
clude several subjects deemed essential
to general culture and must form a con-
sistent whole. Special courses in com
merce and industry, government and ad
ministration, and Journalism. without
neglect OF the basic principles of culture
aim to prepare students directly foi
business, public service and journalism
Students who wish general but sub
stantial college training preparatory tc
