Education The School of Education is one of the busiest schools on the campus, for it is engaged not only in training its 670 undergraduates in the tech- niques of teaching, but also in providing services for all students of the university. These services include the Reading and Study Skills Clinic and the Guidance Bureau Where students can find their aptitudes through testing. The education students are, of course, not for- gotten. They attend classes in newly-remodeled, excellently-equipped Bailey Hall with the bonus advantage of air-conditioning. After they com- plete requirements for their degrees, the Teacher's Placement Bureau is on hand to help them find desirable positions. Directing these and many other activities of the School of Education is Dean Kenneth E. Anderson who has served in his present capacity since 195 3. john Bowers explains the fine points of the ancient Greeks to Lawrence High School students, during a practice teaching session. we rl Hr Cecil Williams, a psychometrist in the Guidance monitoring a Wfeschler-Bellvue Test-whatever Marilyn Shaw, student in art education, gets practical experience with Lawrence's younger

Education in its Finest Sense The second purpose of the school, is to have majoring students gain a thorough knowledge of their specific field of study. In the College of Liberal Arts, there are thirty-nine such fields, and all of them are good for a Bachelor of Arts degree. There are five other majors in the college which qualify people for Bachelors of Science degrees. University students in professional fields such as journalism, education, and law are required to spend their preparatory years in the college- laying the groundwork for their specialties. The training of these students constitutes the third aim of the college. The college has the largest enrollment of any school in the university. The administrative officers are at work in Strong Hall, but Liberal Arts students have classroom assignments in practically every building on the campus except the power plant and the guest home. Phi Beta Kappa, the well known national scholastic honorary fraternity, chooses its mem- bers from the ranks of Liberal Arts students. Mr. Russell Bilyeu explains the difference between X and Y to the members of an algebra 2C class. Tbe College of Liberal Arts can probably boast of more carved up desk tops than any other department of the University.
