Flexibility and openness to innovation will be the distinguishing feature of the University of Lethbridge. . Notwithstanding its intention to offer diverse subject matter contributing to the acquisition of professional skills, the University regards learning as an end in itself, not merely as a means to material ends. Its primary aims are to foster the spirit of free inquiry and the critical interpretation of ideas. The undergraduate is, and should remain, the focus of -the University's endeavour. Students are invited to participate in all phases of university life. The highest degree of interaction between students and faculty is encouraged, and should not be con-fined to the physical limits of the campus. It is desirable and necessary that the University should relate closely to the local community. Nevertheless,- its outlook should not be determined by any regional or sectional interest. Through exposures to cosmopolitan influences and diverse cultures, scholars are best able to- evaluate their own social and cultural milieux. The University asserts its right and responsibility for free expression and communication of ideas. It is self-evident that a uni-versity cannot function without complete autonomy in this domain. 6 1995 JANUARY 2 4 5 5 and 9 5-11 11 12 and 13 ACADEMIC SCHEDULE Statutory Holiday - University offices closed.
