COLLEGE OF S. WALTER MARTIN Dean The Franklin College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest unit within the University of Georgia, having been established in 1801. The College of Arts and Sciences was the University of Georgia for the first half century. The traditional liberal arts degrees, the A.B. and B.S., are offered in ad- dition to the B.S. in Chemistry and the Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees. Besides the many majors in the college, almost every student vho registers in the University must take some liberal arts courses. The college embraces the basic program for all curricula. The faculty consists of 150 veil-trained and qualified staff members. Many of the liberal arts graduates continue their studies in graduate, law, medical, or theo- logical schools; others go into business or a pro- fession without further preparation. The pur- pose of a liberal arts education is to develop the intelligence, the ideals, and the physical body of the whole man, rather than to teach the technique of how to do a particular job or trade. The cur- riculum leads a student into the study of one or all the great fields of kno-wledge — the biological sciences, the physical sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, and the fine arts. Several of the twenty departments of the College of Arts and Sciences have national reputations, as a result of quality performance vithin a restricted area. A number of the staff members are recognized au- thorities in their respective fields of study. Of the five distinguished Regents professorships in the University, four are held by faculty members of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. The Franklin College of Arts and Sciences has long been highly respected, not only in Georgia, but throughout the entire southeast. From it have come some of the South ' s most prominent states- men, educators, ministers, and business men. The present faculty and administrative officers strive to uphold and further its good reputation.

It offers preparation for teaching in all areas of ele- mentary and secondary education, including the specialized fields.
