David A. Rothrock Dean S. E. Stout Dean College of Arts and Sciences 1820 The College of Arts and Sciences, around which the professional schools of Indiana university have been constructed, takes its origin from the State seminary, which was established early in 1820. In 1828 this seminary was transformed into Indiana college, and ten years later into Indiana university. At this time the College of Arts and Sciences was known as the College of Liberal Arts, under which name it continued until 1921, when it was given its present title. The departmental organization under which it now operates was introduced into the College in 1887. Since that time the number of departments has increased steadily and considerably until at the present there are twenty-six separate departments. The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences numbers 182 members at the present. — R. A. C. [22]
