Jacob Van Ek ARTS SCIENCES 9 In these times, when society is confronted by such baffling perplexities, there is an ever increas- ing necessity for an educated leadership in society. This need the College of Arts and Sciences at- tempts to fulfill. It does not try to train specialists, but rather to give its members an idea of the ma- terials, methods, and aims of the different realms of human knowledge to the end that they will view with intelligence and sympathy the difficulties of fellow human beings and aid in overcoming these difficulties. It is only with such equipment pos- sessed by ever increasing numbers of individuals that mankind can hope to build a finer type of society. If I may be permitted to express a personal hope for the members of the College of Arts and Sciences, it is that all will make the fullest possible use of the libraries. laboratories, classes, and op- portunities for association with fellow students and faculty members which are provided by the Uni- versity in the College of Arts and Sciences, so as to secure that broad background of knowledge and those points of view and sympathies which are needed for effective leadership. 9 9 Jacob Van Ek. Dean. ENGINEERING In September, 1934, the registration in the College of Engineering was approximately 15 ' ' greater than in September, 1933. This increase was quite general in all schools and colleges in the Uii.- versity. A detailed study of the causes would be interesting. No doubt improved economic condi- tions, student employment by the Federal Govern- ment, and an accumulation of high school gradu- ates from several recent classes contributed to the increase at this time which was in sharp contrast to the falling attendance of the two previous years. In addition to these rather obvious reasons it may be that the young people of university age in these years of economic disturbance have been passing through experiences similar to those which pre- vailed during the World War. Soon after the War the schools and colleges of the country were crowded with students. In times of stress the real value of an education becomes more apparent than when conditions are normal. A University education does not guarantee suc- cess. The experiences of the past few years have proven, however, that an education opens up avenues of opportunity that are not available to those who are unprepared. 9 Herbert S. Evans, Dean. Herbert S.
