THE FOUNDATION FOR A GREAT UNIVERSITY 51

 Attendance Upon Duties.--A student who without good
cause persistently absents himself from his University duties,
is, after due warning, dishonorably dismissed for the remain-
der of the academic year. A student who, by reason of ill
health or outside demands upon his time, finds it impossible
to give regular attention to University duties, is requested to
withdraw; but such request does not in any way reflect upon
his good standing.
 All delinquencies in University duties are reported to the
Officer in Charge, who promptly brings them to the attention
of the students, and requires a prompt explanation to be made.
Careful records of all delinquencies are kept
 As the University grew during the years following its
organization into colleges, the College of Arts and Sciences,
the fundamental collegiate institution of the group, lead this
growth. It expanded into additional departments almost
yearly. And from this college, under Dean Anderson's leader-
ship, there have sprung out branches that have developed into
full colleges. The Teachers' College, the College of Pharmacy,
and the College of Commerce and Journalism are all out-
growths of departments in the College of Arts and Sciences.
 When the year 1927 began, the College of Arts and
Sciences embraced the following departments: Ancient lan-
guages (Latin and Greek languages and literature; Greek and
Roman History; Roman Law), Bible (English; Biblical
Greek is also given), biology and geology, chemistry, econom-
ics, English, French, history and political science, mathe-
matics, philosophy and psychology, physics, sociology,
Spanish and German, and speech. Military training and
physical education are also included in the curriculum of this
college, as well as that of other colleges.

The Work of the Graduate School
 The establishment of a well-equipped graduate school was
 a project dear to the heart of President Murphree. Upon
 taking office he appointed Dean Anderson as head of the de-
 partment of graduate studies, and watched with co-operative
 interest the development of this phase of the University work.
