COLLEGE ENGINEERING W An engineer, in utilizing the forces of nature and directing men, may find his field of usefulness in serving society as a professional engineer. As such, he may teach, engage in research, or advise others. Such men should have mastered the physical sciences and mathematics, have a good Working knowledge of English and economics, and be proficient in one or more branches of engineering. The man with aptitude for engineering, but having a lesser knowledge of the fundamentals, may find useful employment in production, installation and opera- tion of machinery, estimation or appraisal of utilities, or buying and selling. The training one receives in an engineering college fits him for service in a number of fields but, should he find himself in some other vocation, the training he has received will be of great benefit to him in any line of endeavor in which accurate calcula- tions and correct reasoning are required. Our College of Engineering is Well equipped for training men in the funda- mentals. , Our faculty is small in number but every man has been chosen because of his ability and high standing in the field that he represents. Our laboratories, supplied With a 'limited number of the best available instruments and machines, offer excellent opportunities for the graduate student, as Well as the undergraduate. Dean W. N. Gladson. -7-

COLLEGE HRTS HND SCIENCES As we approach the end of the year, one of the most profound economic and social revolution that the United States has ever known, we may well ask, ls there a future for the College of Liberal Arts? The answer to the question is closely bound up with the future of democracy, which itself is based upon the Ief- fersonian belief in the possibilities of the man who starts his career without wealth, family connections, or any stepping stone' to position, except ability and character. In that belief, lefferson did his last and greatest work - he founded the University of Virginia. If the opportunity for free and humane and individual development is to be denied the born leaders of democracy, the colleges of liberal arts and democracy will alike perish from America. No believer in democracy can look with equanimity upon the possible regimentation of its youth into any system that limits the spirit of intellectual adventure and soul-discovery that has marked the best of the colleges. The college must keep abreast of the powerful flow of human thought and aspirations, but it must not be swallowed by a system, for slavery to a system would 'mark the end of organized education as a vital element in human progress, and, as yet, we have nothing to take its place.

SCHOOL OF LHW The School of Law in Iune, l934, will have been in existence for ten years. Its enrollment in that time has increased from seventeen students to over one hundred and ten. Such an enrollment demonstrates that there was a need in Arkansas for a University law school of the type which met the standards ot legal education laid down by the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. ' Despite the marked decrease in the income of the University, it is hoped that the requirements set by the standardizing agencies for legal education can be met in the future by the Law School of the University of Arkansas. , When the Class of l934 is graduated, ninety young men Will have received the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Of these at least seventy-tive remained in Arkansas. Since the creation of the School of Law in l924, the honor system has been in effect to some extent. But in the tall of 1933 the law students organized an honor council, composed entirely of students. For the first time they became the active force in the operation of that system, which has Worked so well in many southern institutions. Of all the advances which the School of Law has made in the past ten years, this achievement is by far the most noteworthy. Dean I. S. Waterman. -3-
