D. IENNINGS COLLEGE OF HRTS HDD SCIEIICES ELZY DEE IENNINGS, Dean The school year opened auspiciously for the College of Arts and Sciences, with the largest enrollment since 1929. The Registrar's statistics are especially significant in indicat- ing an increasein the Senior as well as in the Freshman class. Among the faculty also there have been made a number of new additions. The faculty of the College this year numbers eighty, including thirty-nine professors holding Ph. D. degrees, and thirty departmental and administrative heads. 1 This year has been signalized by the most productive literary and research activity on the part of the faculty in the history of Southern Methodist University. First, in early autumn, appeared Dr. Beaty's novel, Swords in the Dawn, now listed in the upper bracket of present- day American fiction: then came Dr. Geiser's Naturalists of the Frontier, the first publication of our own University Press: next followed, in time for Christmas, Dean Ienning's delightful travel story, Devil Can't Catch Me: and finally, this spring, came The Victorian Age, by Dr. Bowyer and Dr. Brooks. Technical research articles, too numerous to mention, have also come from the pens of various faculty members, particularly those in the Science Division. The College Council and the Curriculum Construction Committee have done much to- ward remodeling the Curriculum and attempting to bring it more in line with modern trends in education. A very important innovation in the procedure of awarding University honors is being contemplated by the faculty, and probably will be announced in the forthcoming issue of the annual catalog. The progress of the College of Arts and Sciences is perhaps the most significant cri- terion of the general development of the University. And this year has seen great progress: total enrollment has shown an increaseg library accessions have grown: and the College has every reason to be proud of its general record in scholarship. 0 PAGE 15
