college of arts and sciences school of education scheduled to become autonomous in the fall of 1959 The College of Arts and Sciences, the largest college in the University with over 5500 enrolled, encourages the student to get a broad Liberal educa- tion as a basis for specialized study in one field. There are 29 major fields of study offered at the College of Arts and Sciences. This year three new major areas have been added: Asian Studies, Central and East European Studies, and Russian Studies. Because over one half of the students at the Uni- versity are enrolled in the college, the administration is constantly experimenting to find better ways of educating this large portion of the student body. Courses in the fields of psychology, the biological sciences, and the physical sciences are being varied in order to find the best possible course techniques. A new program in connection with Colorado high schools has been initiated at the college this year. In some high schools, college-level courses are offered from which it is possible to obtain college credit. These classes require extra work, and the students who take them must pass a test prepared by the College Entrance E.xamination Board to receive col- lege credit. In the fall of 1959 the Education Department will become independent of the College of Arts and Sciences. A student will have to complete lower division requirements in the College of Arts and Sciences before being accepted into the School of Education. DEAN OF THE COLLEGE Jacob Van Ek has held this administrative position since 1929. 27
