Dean Farber Is Chapel Speaker

The first Orientation Chapel of the new year at DePauw this morning in Meharry Hall featured an address by Dean Robert H Farber on "The Meaning of Liberal Arts at DePauw University." “Individual programs in liberal arts colleges have distinctive characteristic*," Dean Farber commented, "and the DePauw program is noj that of Chicago, Bennington, or Sarah Lawrence.” It is, he continued, a program which has been developed through teh year to fit the needs of DePauw students And its aim is to "encourage the search for truth, to develop the ability to think clearly and fearlessly on all subjects, and to express thoughts

effectively.”

For carrying out these aims. Dean F'aiher pointeci to a highlyqualified faculty and an environment conductive to intellectual, social, and religious development. DePauw's program also is a extremely practical one. he emphasized, citing the success of the school's graduates in all pro-

fessions and the ever-increasing Mary

demand by America's industries for "well-rounded men and wo-

men who can think ”

One hundred and ninety-four coeds at DePauw University have been pledged to ten national social sororities here this

week.
