ofOfrls ana Sciences IhE oldest department in the university, the college of arts and sciences, offers annually a wide range of courses leading to bachelor degrees in arts, sciences and philosophy. Through its courses the college attempts to give the student a true appreciation of the seven arts which are: the relation of the individual to God; the relation of the individual to his fellow man; the art of expression; the art of enjoying leisure; the art of reasoning; the art of the com- prehension of the historical heritage of the ages, and the art of living. With a total enrollment of 396 stu- dents the pre-requisite course in the col- lege of arts and sciences is primarily creative and only secondarily constructive. To think accurately, visualize clearly and reason logically are considered more important objects of education than the me- morizing of fact and data. The first two years of an arts course find the student adhering closely to a prescribed program of study in order to acquire credits in essential fields. The final two years of the four-year course find the student pursuing more intensely courses of study to which he is especially inclined and for which he may have particular aptitude. In this latter period the student also enjoys the further privilige of extensive reading and research. In order to qualify for any of the several degrees in the college of arts and sciences a student must earn 128 semester hours of credit and 128 hours of quality points over the four-year course. For the fourth consecutive year the President ' s scholarship was placed in active use. Every male students in all the schools in the state of Nebraska is eligible for this particular scholarship.
