THE GRADUATE HOUSE.

The residence of the late Professor Raleigh C. Minor on West Lawn is
now used by the Department of Graduate Studies as administrative headquarters.
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.
