This outline of the courses, policies and advantages of the eleven lead- ing Minnesota Colleges should be invaluable to graduates and parents. It will assist them in making a selection of the college best suited for their require- ments and which is to be intrusted with the final educational work and guidance which is such a vital factor in the careers of the young men and young women of the state. The policies of these Minnesota colleges are widely progressive, yet wisely conservative, and embrace a wholesome and worthy idealism. They cherish the belief that higher education and scientific knowledge must be accompanied by the best of moral cidture and feel it their duty to bring out the noblest qualities in each individual. Thousands of successful men and women attribute their achievements lo the thorough and constructive training, inspiration and vision received at one of these Minnesota colleges and to the friendships formed during their college days. The advantages to residents of Minnesota of attending the colleges of the state are many. The student is close to home ties and the expenses are at a mini- mum. In addition to these advantages Minnesota students have further advan- tages in that the majority of the students are, like themselves, Minnesota people, and will remain in Minnesota after graduation. This means a continuation after graduation of college friendships and con- tacts established with their alma mater which is of increasing pleasure and value in succeeding years. Full information will be gladly sent you by any of the colleges upon request. MINNESOTA'S LEADING COLLEGES Page Eight INNESOTA'S LEADING COLLEGES Carleton College NORTHFIELD, MINNESOTA Donald J. Cowling, President A CHRISTIAN College of ARTS, SCIENCE, MUSIC for graduates of accredited High Schools and Academies. Eight hundred students are enrolled during the year 1921-22 in the regular four-year courses leading to the bachelor degrees. The number of teachers offering courses is sixty-five. The ratio of instruc- tors to students is significant. No one is employed in the work of teaching whose rank or salary is below that of an instructor, fully recognized as a member of the faculty. The Trustees undertake to provide comfortable surroundings for students and teachers and furnish all the reference books, laboratory apparatus and other equipment that may be necessary for the proper development and illustration of each course offered. A chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national honor society in scholar- ship, was granted to Carleton in September, 1913. A chapter of Delta Sigma Rho, the national honor society in public speaking, was estab- lished at Carleton in 1911; and a chapter of Sigma Delta Psi, the national athletic society, in 1920. Carleton has remarkable records in debate, oratory, and athletics. A Summer School of Chemistry will open Monday, June 26, and will close on Thursday, August 10. This school is for teachers of chemistry and students beyond the Freshman year. Northfield is an ideal college town, forty miles south of the Twin Cities, on three railway lines; the Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern electric railway; and the Jefferson Highway. The skyline of the college buildings is clearly seen to the east, beyond the Cannon River. You are cordially invited to visit the grounds and buildings, where you will find a campus of about fifty acres, many beautiful buildings, an athletic field of fifteen acres, the Lyman Memorial Lakes, and the college farm of about 300 acres adjoining on the north. The total assets are valued at nearly $3,000,000. For a guide to the buildings or for information regarding enroll- ment in the college, work, loans, scholarships, etc., apply to Edwin B. Dean, Chairman of the Board of Deans, 101 Leighton Hall, Northfield, Minnesota.

The many advantages of both great centers may be enjoyed by the students. Macalester College offers four years of regular liberal arts courses; also three years of study of the liberal arts, the fourth year being devoted to all technical courses given elsewhere. The outstanding effort is toward the individual development of each student. This embraces a close observation of the character and native ability of each student with the guidance and interviews neces- sary to achieve the full realization of individual capabilities. Our records show that an average of eighty per cent of Macalester students have, either in part or wholly, worked their way through the college. 6 V Over twelve per cent of the students have been sons and daughters of ministers. This has led to the establishment of the P. K. Society, com- posed entirely of "preachers' kids." The selection of Macalester by many ministers for the education of their children proves their faith in the wholesome Christian atmosphere of this college. The tuition is $120.

INFIRMARY Page Twenty-six MINNESOTA'S LEADING COLLEGES St. John s University COLLEGEVILLE, MlNN. ST. JOHN'S is a residence school for young men. It is the oldest Catholic college in the State, having received its charter from the Territorial Legislature in 1857. With far-sighted vision, the founders, under the leadership of the Reverend Cornelius Wittmann, 0. S. B., located the first rude building in one of the most romantic and favored spots of central Minnesota. The University overlooks one of the prettiest lakes in the locality and some very picturesque scenery. The growth of the University has been slow but sure. Building after building has arisen to meet each new educational demand. Even now, a new $150,000 College Hall is under construction for the special convenience of college men. The present impressive ensemble of build- ings is concrete and eloquent testimony of the progressive spirit of the faculty and their untiring devotion to a great cause. St. John's is conducted by priests of the Order of St. Benedict — the Order whose long list of achievements in the interest of civilization and culture, extending through 1,500 years, has elicited the highest praise from all historians. The University comprises three divisions: the School of Divinity, or Seminary, the College and the College Preparatory School. Courses are offered leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Philosophy, Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts. A special Depart- ment of Music has existed for many years for those who desire to major in that branch. All classes are divided into small units to allow of the greatest possible attention of teacher to individual student. The total enrollment in all courses is usually about 480. Every opportunity for sport is generously offered. A new athletic field covering seven acres will be ready for use next September. For catalog and further particulars write to The Rector.

High school graduates who are unable to register for full time resident study may, while working at some gainful occupation, enroll in the late after- noon and evening classes in the Extension Division, and thereby take courses leading toward a college degree. Preparatory work is offered for adults who have not finished high school, thus enabling them to make up their necessary credits and continue with a regular university course. A correspondence study department, where a number of courses of both preparatory and collegiate grade are offered, is maintained for the benefit of many who are unable to attend classes at the University. University credit is given to students having the necessary prerequisites; the preparatory courses carry entrance credit. Complete information may be obtained by addressing the General Exten- sion Division, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn.
