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.
