DEAN GEORGE R. WAGGONER The College of Liberal Arts and Sci- ences, the oldest established school on the Hill, has two main aims. Through many general courses the College seeks to for- ward the general liberal education, which is becoming more and more a necessity in our changing modern world. Secondly, the College lays the foundation for special- ized training which will be received in one of the professional schools or during the last two years in the College itself. The College, headed by Dean George R. Waggoner, Associate Dean Francis H. Heller, and Assistant Dean Gilbert Ulmer, consists of twenty-five departments which are divided into three main areas-the natural sciences, composed of fifteen physi- cal and biological sciences, the social sci- 22 The College of Liberal Arts by SANDEE GARVEY STUDY-anytime, anywhere.

and Sciences ences, which include psychology, sociology, economics, and political science, and the humanities, made up of literature, history, arts, music, and philosophy. Through required courses and distribution regula- tions the student is exposed to the many fields necessary for a liberal education. By thus broadening the base of the student's studies, it is hoped that he will become a more intelligent citizen and make use of the vast amount of knowledge and experi- ence he has gained. To the student who is wavering among several choices or has no plans beyond the fact that he wants a college education, the College gives the opportunity to explore areas and challenges, and to enlarge his fields of vision during his first two years. With the arrival of the junior year he may remain in the College with his decided major or change to one of the professional schools. One out of every twelve students in Liberal Arts is working toward a double major, some are even carrying triple majors. It is also possible to enroll simul- taneously in two schools, such as Education and Liberal Arts. As can be seen the Col- lege offers many opportunities which lead to developing versatile young people for our expanding world. STUDENTS listen ond record their own voices in The longuoge sound lobs.
