Reisser, Gorman, Patterson. The College of Education has as its major purpose the education of competent teachers, supervisors, and ad- ministrators for positions in kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior and senior high schools. Instruction in the College of Education is organized into seven de- partments: elementary education, (including kindergar- ten); secondary education; physical education; educa- tional psychology; administration; history and philosophy of education; and special education. In preparation for the teaching profession the stu- dent is expected to have a broad, general education, intensive work in the subjects to be taught, specialized training in professional courses introducing the student to the problems of teaching, and a program of supervised student teaching in the Indianapolis Public Schools in the senior year. Students who expect to qualify for an Indi- ana teacher ' s certificate may complete the requirements for the certificate and at the same time complete the re- quirements for the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in elementary, secondary, or physical education. Students interested in teaching public school music may work toward the Bachelor of Music in Music Education degree which is conferred jointly by Butler University and the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music. Students in- terested in teaching art may work toward the Bachelor of Art in Art Education degree which is conferred jointly by Butler University and the John Herron Art Institute. Graduate students may secure the degree of Master of Science in Education and at the same time complete the requirements for administrative licenses. COLLEGE OF

The general objective of the College of Liberal Arts and Sclonces is to provide a training of the nnind that is of fundamental value in every wajli of life and essential to the highest aspirations of mankind. More specifically, in such a training the student follows a planned curriculum toward a major field which contains certain necessary basic elements comprising an interpretation of human experience as found in language, literature, and the Fine Arts, use of the scientific method of procedure in the acqui- sition of knowledge, exact and systematic thinking, moral and ethical evaluation of human activity, broad factual knowledge of the world, centered about some special interest of the student, and an opportunity for creative effort. The student with the expert guidance of a professor selects a major field leading to a profession, career, or any occupation of various kinds. In order to meet the needs of all students the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is divided into a lower and upper division. Completion of the lower division or two-year standardized course giving the student a broad, general education permits either the conferring of the title of Associate of Arts, or Associate of Science; entrance into a professional course; or entrance into the upper division. The upper division gives the student the opportunity to do his specialized work leading to the baccalaureate degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Music. The graduate degrees conferred are the Master of Arts and the Master of Science. Fisher, Donart, Stull, Harrison, Welling, SIsson, Lewis, Moore, Stewart, Wesenberg, Potzger, Palmer.
