THE GRADUATE HOUSE

The Graduate House, administrative headquarters of the Department of
Graduate Studies, is on West Lawn. Besides the Dean's office, this building
contains one large lecture-room for graduate classes and three seminar
rooms on the second floor specially equipped for small groups of students and
professors engaged in advanced graduate work. Each seminar room has a
small library for the use of advanced graduate students in the courses conducted
in that room. The building is therefore the administrative office of
the Department and the workshop of its humanistic section. At present the
class-rooms are used by certain C and D classes in the Schools of English,
History, Philosophy, Economics, Biblical Literature, and Political Science.
The central location of this house and its proximity to the General Library
make it particularly adapted to departmental use.
