Department Chairiiien Dean Allan F. Saunders The largest college in the universily is the College of Arts and Sciences, with a September. 19o5 enrollment of 1512. Dr. Allen F. Saunders heads it as Dean. Perhaps the most important advantage of the college is the freedom of its students to build their courses of studies b) drawing upon the curricular resources of the entire university with no restriction to liberal art subjects alone. For lower division classi. ' ication purposes, the students are enrolled under one of the following groups according to their interests: Social Sciences; Languages. Literature and Art: and Biological and Physical Sciences. The Social Science subjects — including government. histor . and economics — naturally place emphasis on man and his social en ironment. Studies of man ' s activities, his organization of society and means of living are necessary to the layman, professional, and business man alike. They must learn their place and responsibilities in society, for man is a social animal. Katharine N. Hundley Social Vi ork ( ' oliii J. Herrick Psyi ' li lofj Charles H. Hunter History Harold E.

Music students find soul and spirit in every selection. The College of Arts and Sciences has been a pari of the I ' niversity of Hawaii since 1920. Its main objective is to provide the interested student with an opportunity to appreciate the vahies derived from studying the liberal arts, which includes the art subjects. Although perhaps not as practical as some other courses of study, the subjects stressed in the Languages, Literature and Art group stimulate the aesthetic aspect of the student. Through these subjects the student learns to grasj) the meaning behind and to appreciate words, objects and ideas from a three-dimensional rather than a superficial point of view. One cannot see the immediate values of such a course of stud . but he will aKva s be conscious of them later. English literature, the foreign languages, art. music, drama and speech are some of the subjects which blend with other more vocational courses. The most important contributinn of this group perhaps is that it teaches the future leaders a sound use of leisure. Deparlnieiit (Jiairiiieii Dorothy B. Aspinwall European Languages Elizabeth H.
