COLLEGE OF EDUCATION People who believe in the importance of genealogy and ancestry readily concede that the College of Education has reason to be proud since its origin goes back to the very beginning of the Institution. When the University was founded, it began its career as the Church Teacher ' s College. In 1920 its title was changed to the School of Edu- cation and in 1921 it evolved into the present College. The aim of this department is preparation for leadership — intellectually and socially. Theo- retical knowledge is supplemented by practical experience in the training school, a part of the division. The work, both elementary and second- ary, is standard and meets state requirements. In seven years (1920-1927) the number graduated from this college increased from ten to thirty-four. John C. Swenson, acting Dean during the absence of Dean L. John Nuttall, has managed the affairs of the college successfully. His knowledge of society and its needs has made his assistance especially valuable in this field. John C. Svcenson Dean tW Front Ron — John C. Swensen, Franklin S. Harris, George H, P.rimhall.

George H. Brimhall Vrciidc lit -Emeritus c YOUNG MAN said to mc, The B. Y. U. is a good school but it has no great state behind it. I replied, No, but it has something behind it greater than any state. It has the interest of a people with homes in many states, a people whose destiny is to lead the world. Decades have passed since the conversation and my belief in the onwardness of the school has had good soil for growth. The speed of our advancement has exceeded expectations. The output of the Brigham Young University is an asset unmeasurable. Once a student always an advocate is said of those who have attended its classes. To be a member of its student body or of its faculty means to become a Banyan tree trunk, 3 live pillar on a growing structure that gets its expansion from the light of revelation and the soil of science. To become a graduate of the Banyan School is to be equipped with choice implements of usefulness and filled with a desirable spirit of helpfulness. .[23].

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The sixty candidates for bachelor ' s degree in the College of Arts and Sciences contrasted with the earliest recorded number, speak well for the growing popularit) ' of this department. As the School of Arts and Sciences, it was founded in 1920, the second division in the Uni- versity, and became the College of Arts and Sciences in 1921. There were thirty-five students graduated from this department the first year after its organization. Its fundamental aim, a generous education meets the needs of a vast number of students. It is well-adapted to care for those desiring spe- cialized study in engineering, medicine, or law. Original investigation is aided by well-equipped laboratories and specialized instructors. The excellent foresight of Carl F. Eyring, Dean of this college, enables him to appreciate the numerous and varied demands of the students under his supervision. His sympathetic understanding, optim- ism, and helpful advice have won for him the admiration and love of all the students with whom he is associated. I Carl F.
