Prejudiced perhaps by my fond recollections of courses with Miss Grant and Mr. Walker in the early 1930s and by my acquaintance with all members of the Department in recent years, I feel certain that the Department will continue to play a key role among the humanities and in the College of Arts and Sciences during the second century of the University. The present flourishing state of the Department—with its increasingly wide course offerings, its dedicated staff, and its rapidly growing student members—makes this future seem assured.University of KansasClassicsOtheropenAccess
