The school is thus designed to permit the scientifically or aeronautically minded student to follow a program which is flexible enough to suit his specific interests. Degrees In engineering can even be obtained without specification of a major field. Recent years have been spent by the Engineering School In developing new facilities for research. These and other advancements such as the Stanford linear accelerator which Is housed In the Microwave Laboratory, have received widespread acclaim in the scientific world. ENGIi Ei;RIN(i HUMANITIES SCIENCES The very heart of the Stanford educational program is the School of Humanities and Sciences. It Is the largest and most all-embrac- ing school on campus; In it are Included the faculties of thirty-one departments. The purpose of this school, unlike the other schools on campus, is not to give the student professional Instruction, but to offer him a general education. The school therefore contains all of the basic and traditional studies as well as the many fields of specialized study which do not lead directly to professional degrees. The School of Humanities and Sciences Is the backbone of the Stanford research program. It offers ample opportunities for research and Its subsequent application. This school has satis- fied the desires of many who come to college with no other goal In mind than receiving a liberal education. 27
