' mi iimim 9 ' COLLEGE OF AETS AND SCIENCE || IHE College of Arts and Science is a plaftic inftitution responding to the || changing interefts and needs of the University of which it is a part, and the capacity of the ftate which supports it. When the course of ftudy, the schedule of classes, or the entrance requirements appear to be ftabilized, a new department is created, an old one reorganized, or a class of indents with new needs applies for in ruftion, and the entire organization muft be shifted. During the present year only minor changes have been made. The enrollment in the College of Arts and Science has shown no increase this year, which appears to be the condition existing in moft of the other colleges as shown by a survey made of some ninety representative colleges. This may be a break in the regular curve of University expansion. At any rate it will serve as a welcome pause which will enable the College to catch up with itself and eftablish some of the standards which it has attempted to maintain. The check in University enrollment expansion has in many localities been due to the rapid growth of the Junior colleges. There are fifty thousand indents en- rolled in these two-year colleges throughout the United States. Maxwell Adams First Row: Chappelle, Church, Duerr. Second Row: Harwood, Hicks, Higginbotham, Hill.
