COLLEGE OE LIBERAL ARTS THE COLLEGE or LIBERAL ARTS is the oldest undergraduate de- partment ofthe University having a continuous existence. It opened its doors to both men and women students in 1873, a year after the undergraduate College of Music, discontinued from 1891 until 1928, was established. i Since the early days ofthe College, thousands of young men and women have climbed the wide stone steps on their way to classes, and spent their leisure moments on the marble. Many of the University's most noted alumni studied for their degrees at the College, not a few former students have returned to Boston Univer- sity to serve in many and varied teaching and administrative capacities. In 1906, extension and evening courses were instituted for those desirous of receiving credit toward a degree, but who could devote only a part of their time to studies. Ralph W. Taylor has been dean of the College since 1937. He served as registrar from 1918, and secretary of the College faculty from 1919, until he was appointed dean by the Trustees of the Uni- versity. In 1932, he was named director of the College and Exten- sion, Saturday, Late Afternoon and Evening Courses. Dean Taylor received both his degrees from the University. He was graduated from the College of Liberal Arts in 1911 with the degree of A.B., and received the degree of A.M. in 1922 from the Graduate School. He is a member of Beta Theta Pi.
