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.
