The college as a whole has the largest enrollment of any school or college on the campus. There are about 2,000 students enrolled in the College of Arts and Science this year. The purpose of the college is to offer the students who have the requisite ability and energy such a liberal education in the arts and sciences as will assure a severe intellectual discipline, provide an intelligent familiarity with modern civilization, prepare for Wide service in the World, and enlarge and make richer the student's life. The College of Arts and Science lays a basis on which the student is able to determine and build that particular profession or vocation for which he is most suited. It prepares for graduate work in various fields of research. It teaches the basic courses re- quired for admission to the professional schools of Medicine, Journalism, Law, Education, and Business and Public Administration. The Dean of underclassmen in the school of Arts and Science is Frank F. Stephens, who for 18 years has guided the education of thousands of students, who have regarded him as a friend. Dean Stephens understands the problems of students because he is not only a dean but is also an instructor in several courses. Pagr 26 1 1

DIRECTCDI2 CD43 STUDENT AFFAIRS PDR Would-be B. M. O. C.'s might well look to Dr. Darwin H. Hindman as an example of a man with many activities. His interest in students and student affairs as well as being Director of Student Affairs for Men, Director of the Men's Physical Education Department, and an instructor in a class of Adminis- tration of Physical Education all help to account for his popularity among the students. Page 25 MEN In private life Dr. Hindman is a sportsman with many fishing tales, hunting trips, and sports and athletic accomplishments to his credit. He delights in telling guests in his home of hunting wild boar with a bow and arrow! In his repertoire of hobbies, Dr. Hindman in- cludes among his favorites traveling Cwhich has carried him to many foreign landsb, collecting china, and an ardent enthusiasm for art and various kinds of literature.

just as the underclassman college of Arts and Science lays a basis for future education, the upper- classman college prepares students for professional practice in advanced study and research in such fields as music, chemistry, art, public welfare, creative writing, and geology. The resources of the college are very broad, thus training for leadership in any of the lines that may be followed after a student leaves school. For those students who complete four years in Arts and Science, an A. B. degree is given. Students who wish ultimately to become trained investigators or to teach their specialties in colleges and universities should secure the A. B. degree as a preparation for graduate work. The Dean of the upperclassman college of Arts and Science is Winterton Conway Curtis, who holds an A. B. and an M. A. degree from Williams College, a Ph. D. from john Hopkins, and a Sc. D. degree from Williams College. Dean Curtis has held his present position since 1934. In that short span of time he has made himself known to all his students as one who understands their problems.
