Luther W. Stalnaker has friends all over the campus who know him by his brisk, business-like walk, his mellow, resonant voice and his dependable sense of humor. As chairman ol the executive committee of the college ol liberal arts he has done a most creditable job in a difficult situation, shouldering much of the responsibil- ity inherent in the position held by the late Dean Alfred Iohn Pearson. A master at getting real thought out oi his students, Dr. Stalnaker has carried that attribute over into his new duties. That, coupled with his enthusiasm and sensitivity to other persons-' feelings, has carried him and the whole liberal arts college through another successful year, the fifty- ninth in its history. l As originally organized, the college of liberal arts was the center about which the other colleges and departments were organized. Its aim was to provide a general background of culture which would help the student in future specialization. At that time it was known as The Literary Department , changing in 1888 to The College of Letters and Science . ln 1903 the present name was adopted, expressing the broader concept of a college of liberal arts. 14
