By now, many seniors have been admitted to graduate schools throughout the nation. But many, too, have been l3ft weeping and gnashing. Out of this situation one fact has become pain fully apparent to students and faculty alike: graduating seniors lack adequate answers to the questions, whether, where, and how to undertake post-graduate MMMM work. The question of whether to go on for an advanced degree is one that faces Vol. 103 No. 19 any responsible student today. The advantages of the degree (and the further April 6, 1962 education) and the disadvantages of the length of time necessary to obtain it LL vary widely with the field; and a student should be fully conscious of the po tentialities of his major and of openings provided by such further study. In Arts and Letters, especially, where the course of study is not directed Founded 1867 toward a particular profession, it is unfortunate that many students recognize edilor-ln-ehief only two alternatives — teaching or law. A liberal education should, and does, THOMAS WEISS offer a far wider range of opportunities, any of which may ba enhanced by the judicious choice of a post-graduate program. The University and the vari associate editor ous departments, it seems, by means of some type of advisory system, could MICHAEL ZWETTLER help a student to inform himself on this matter. If he decides to go on for an advanced degree, the student has hundreds news editor of graduate schools from which to choose. And it is self-evident that not all JOHN McCABE, of them will provide the course of study he needs.
