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.
