OR CAROLINA COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The function of the College of Arts and Sci- ences is the preparation of programs of study leading to the various degrees under its control, the guid- ance of students following such programs, and the awarding of degrees. Its responsibilities are confined largely to the upper two years of the undergraduate life. The work of the students, under the plan known as The Major Scheme , or the Field of Concentra- tion Scheme , falls generally into the three main divisions: the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and the Natural Sciences. The purpose of this plan is to relate Departments with a somewhat similar aim and content, to the end that the education of the student may be built upon as wide a foundation as is reasona- ble without a too great scattering of his efforts. Very little is actually known about the essentials of education. It is almost as variable as are people and attempts to canalize it are rather generally fatal to the thing we are trying to foster. However, in our present state of ignorance, we are fairly well agreed upon some subjects as being of sufficient importance to be required for the degrees; such subjects as Englj sri) some Science, and some History. As a matter of fact, a college course cannot chart the life of a man a n d furnish him a blueprint by which to meet the exi- gencies of life in this world ; all it can do is to furnish certain principles and the will to study. The purpose of the College is to give the opportunity to students to develop their talents in the in- tellectual world, to help them see a larger world, to fit them for the public service. Integrity and knowl- edge are our only hopes if we are to have an enduring civilization. We cannot go on very long unless we are willing to introduce more order into the economy of our country. At present those who try for this kind of order are labeled with all sorts of bad names in the hope that the people may still a little longer be kept in confusion. The only kind of prosperity worth fighting for is a long continued general prosperity, and this is the place for integrity and knowledge. For these purposes we believe in lan- guage, in science, in history, in philosophy, in art, in economics, in government, and we believe that the direction of progress is in learning before action, in experience before revolution; we place study before propaganda, so that in the end we may all be propagandists for the right based upon knowledge plus experience. sl A.
