R ev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S. J. Dean C ke Ljoilecje of Ofrls ana Sciences FFERiNG a wide range of courses leading to bachelor degrees in arts, sciences and philosophy, the college of arts and sciences attempts to give the student a true appreciation of the seven arts. These include: the relation of the individual to God; the relation of the individual to his fellow man; the art of enjoying leisure; the art of expression; the art of reasoning; the art of the comprehension of the historical heritage of the ages, and the art of earning a living. The pre-requisite course in the college of arts and sciences is primarily creative and only secondarily instructive. The student is taught, not to memorize fact and data, but to think accurately, visualize clearly, and reason logically. During the first two years of his arts course, the student adheres closely to a prescribed program in order to a cquire credits in essential fields. In the final two years he has the opportunity to pursue more in- tensively courses of study to which he is especially inclined and for which he may have particular aptitude. He has the further privilege of extensive reading and research in chosen subjects and closer contact with persons whose interests parallel his own. Special courses in religion are offered to all Catholic students in the form of a four-year required course. The prescribed courses in religion are required only of Catholic students. Others may elect academic courses as an alternative. All candidates for a degree must earn 128 semester hours of credit and 128 hours of quality points covering a four-year course.
