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 four seminar rooms
specially equipped for small groups of students and professors engaged in advanced
graduate work. At present the class-rooms are used for certain advanced
courses in the Schools of English and History. The Bruce Collection of books
for the use of graduate students in English is in this building. This departmental
library, endowed by the late Professor J. Douglas Bruce of the University
of Tennessee, an alumnus of the University, contains valuable source
material.
