William George Dodd Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences A.B., Bethany College; A.M., Harvard; Ph.D., Harvard. THE history of the School of Arts and Sciences is parallel with that of the institution, for it was the L P school established first. The Buckman bill in 1904 k L provided for the establishment of a college of higher k ll , education for women. Florida State College for IV L m I Rf Women came into being in 1905, the first state insti- 5 Sik ' in -mr tution in the South to be conceived as a liberal arts school. Today the College of Arts and Sciences, with an enrollment of 675 is one of the largest schools in the whole College. It includes all the academic departments except education, music, and home economics. The College of Arts and Sciences offers courses to give that traditionally cultured background of southern women and one that is designed to promote the further seeking of the higher things of life. It furnishes an opportunity to secure the wider general training that is essential to the more abundant social and professional leadership which should be held by college trained women.

H Margaret Rector Sandels Dean of the School of Home Economics B.S., A.M., Ph.D., Columbia. |OME economics work was first introduced into the College in 1905 with the establishment of the Florida Female College. In 1918 the work was organized within a School of Home Economics, giv- ing the degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Eco- nomics. In 1922 a Bachelor of Science in Nursing was first offered in combination with certain accredited hospitals in the State. In 1919, a laboratory for research in nutrition was first established. Here va- rious types of nutrition investigations have been carried forward, stressing particularly the nutritional problems of Florida. The training of teachers of home economics is one function of this school, but the profession of home-making is the most important occupation for which the school pre- pares its graduates. The courses dealing with the economic and social problems of the home, the care and welfare of children, and the feeding and clothing of the family are all of direct interest and value to the prospective home-maker.
