John Winfield Scott, B.S., M.A., Ph.D. Dean Academic Department It is with this department that Auburn first began its history as an institution. The institution was founded in 1859 as the East Alabama Male College. Since 1859 many schools and colleges have been added to form the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, but still the Academic Department remains. It offers a wide range of general subjects which arc the basis of all learning. These subjects lead to a B.S. degree in this department. Instruction is also given in subjects co-ordinating with those of the technical schools of the Institution.
