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 part of its humanistic section. At
present the class-rooms are used for certain C and D courses 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.
