The College of Arts and Sciences Philip Mason Palmer, A.B. Hrati oj the ColUit oj Arts and Scicmts THE College of Arts and Sciences dates from the founding of the University; but only during recent years has it attained the prominence it is duly ac- corded. Provision was made in the charter of the University for a general cultural unit which was known as the School of General Literature. The curriculum was traditional in its requirements and rather ignored the value of concentrated effort in one particular field; consequently major work was unemphasized. Traditional languages and sciences were stressed. The development of this essential department of the University was seriously impeded by graduates of the technical college who considered it advisable for the School of General Literature to be discontinued. During recent years, however, the Arts College has set aside many of the tradi- tional aspects of cultural education and developed an individuality so much desired by schools of its kind. The new system, which is the result of an exhaustive com- parative studv bv the faculty in co-operation with a committee of students, allows more freedom in the election of courses. There are a a series of distributed require- ments, but concentration on major work is especially stressed. The commendations of the various graduate schools which have recently been attended by a great per- centage of graduates as well as those of the Rollins Report speak well for the success of the system. Of those graduates who are not engaged in post-graduate work at least ninety percent have entered professional pursuits. Successful as the present may be, a still greater future is aimed at. The goal now strived for is an architecturally beautiful Arts house or dormitory wherein both students and faculty live and converse with freedom and equality, making for the greatest cultural benefit possible. However, in so far as the fate of an institution is determined by man, it can be safely said that the College of Arts and Sciences is destined to rank with the foremost of its kind, realizing that essential part of the Greater Lehigh. 32

The Department of English SiNcic the reorganizatit)n ut the Department i)f English under the direction of Dr. Smith, great importance has been lent to the teaching of the rules of composition and grammar which are of great significance to the engineering and business students. The success of these two classes of students depends greatly on their ability to use the English language correctly. To fulfill the aim of the Department, then, all students must elect at least one vear of English. The Arts students are required to take in addition a course in the study of Drama. The department is gradually expanding. Courses are gnen in public speaking and debating; these have gained great popularity as electives. Under the supervision of M. J. Luch the debate team annually meets teams from other schools. There is ample opportunity to those who desire to study and york on publications to do so. The course in Journalism providing this opportunity is responsible for the success of the Brown and White, the semi-weekly newspaper of the University edited by students. During the past year the Department of English inaugurated a course in graduate work, facilitating such advanced work for those students who majored in English.
