School of Arts and Science The School of Arts and Science began in 1889 as an answer to the need for liberal education for college students. It attempts to give the student an opportunity to concentrate in certain fields that may be helpful in laying foundations for various professional pursuits. In its curriculum are found those subjects which have for centuries been regarded as embodying the best cultural traditions of the western world— a study of foreign languages and English, mathematics, natural and social sciences, history and politics. With Dr. H. L. Hunter as the guiding light, so to speak, this school which furnishes the basic nucleus for any educational process has constantly striven to improve the quality of its education and to equip each student with the fundamental tools of knowledge and culture in order that he may take his place in society as a competent and independent citizen.

M. D. FARRAR Dean of Agriculture School of Agriculture The School of Agriculture, under the capable leader- ship of Dr. M. D. Farrar, claims a good portion of the student body and is recognized as one of the foremost in the nation. The study of agriculture is no longer confined to the raising of crops. The modern agriculturist must learn everything from Bugology to mechanical engineering. Clemson provides extensive courses in agricultural engi- neering, animal husbandry, agronomy, agricultural eco- nomics, botany, dairying, entomology, horticulture, and poultry. All is not limited to the classroom. In the afternoons, groups of the students may be seen engaging in the science of spraying trees and grafting. Spaced through- out the semester are occasional field trips. These provide instruction in its most appealing form. The ever expanding field of agriculture presents a challenge to the teacher, to the men in research, and to the student. First Row, Left to Right: Skeleton, Swift, Reed, Stepp, Whitney, Fpps, Jones, Tliode. Farrar. Second Row: Coehren, Monroe, Collins, Goodale, Cooper, Bowan, Rutledge, Todd. Third Row: King, Cook, Godley, Stribbin, Bauknight, King, Purser. Fourth Row: Craig, Snell, Turnipseed, Steele, Richie, Boon, Boyd, Brown

DR. J. H. SAMS Dean of Engineering School of Engineering Every aspiring engineer here at Clemson knows and respects the man heading his department, Dean J. H. Sams. Dr. Sams received a B.S. from Clemson in 1924, his E.E. from Cornell in 1926, his M.S. and Ph.D. from Michigan in 1931 and 1937, respectively. Commanding one of the largest and most important schools on the campus, Dean Sams has striven and has succeeded in his attempts to raise the standing and influence of his department. Engineering has become an integrated part and is the very basis of practically every specialized field at Clem- son, making this particular school not only important but also necessary to most students in their preparation for future work. Physics, statics, kinetics, and strength are just a few of the courses offered. These and many more become the foundation upon which the men of today are building and shaping their futures as engineers. To many, Dean Sams is an advisor, helping whenever needed and inspiring students to greater heights of responsibility and achievement. The alert, progressive attitude of the engineering department will be seen in the new structural science complex stated for completion in 1958.
