Practically all the sylph-like Oreads of Mt. Oread inhabit this school. They glide with airy tread through the south wing of Fraser Hall (lower floor) and congregate in deep and meditative mood on the stairways of the same. Sometimes a Freshman maiden is seen on the third floor of the north wing, but long ere her Senior year she wises up and confines her wanderings to the region of the bulletin-board, where she can hold sweet converse with the swell guy and get in the way of the Engineers and the Freshman who wants to read the Y. M. C. A. notices. Such is the School of Arts, kind reader. Our classification is not com- plete, but we must leave them here. Behold, we introduce them to you one by one. And here begins the artistic part of the ' 03 JAYHAWKEB. E. Miller. Dean of Arts School.

Arts School. THE Arts School is the mater familias, as it were, of the University. It was the magic bean from which h as sprung the great vine which Jacks and Jills yearly climb to meet the giant World at the end. And the giant has magic harps and hens that lay golden eggs and heavy money-bags, which Jack or Jill must spend, perhaps, the rest of their life in trying to obtain. The students of the Arts School are a diversified lot. The youth of the world who has no taste for Law enters the Arts School, takes work in Sociology and Geology, flunks out, finds he has a taste for Law after all, and enters that school the next term. The athlete pursues the same course, except he usually has wise counsel offered him and becomes a disciple of Blackstone at the beginning of his career. In the Arts School are found many future pilots of future Americans; by taking two and one-half terms of Pedagogy, said pilots are furnished on graduation with one of Prof. Olin ' s patent galvanized rudders, which enables them to better withstand the sore-buffeting waves when onc e they start on their course with heavy- laden ship. Ambitious society sports flock to the standard of the Arts School and take work under Profs. Dunlap and Blackmar, in whose classes they can meet all the swell maidens and work a stand-in. Also in Prof. Miller ' s classes are found future poets and literary lights who seek to learn how to accurately measure the.r metrical feet and discourse wisely on the stars. Aspirants for a D.D. must needs read the New Testament in Greek under Prof. Wilcox, and to complete their training take courses in Finance and Money and Banking under Prof. Cone. 8
