oj ifis, C’oLUcjd of- Jl'ibzxal THE PAST . . . TO THE PRESENT Howard University was first projected November 20. 1866. as Howard Theological Seminary, so named in honor of Major General Oliver Otis Howard, its founder. At a meeting on January 8. 1867. the name of the institution was changed to Howard University. On March 2. 1867. the school was incorporated as a university for the education of youth in the liberal arts and sciences under the name, style, and title of Howard University. The purpose of the College of Liberal Arts is to provide a general education for all students in order to prepare them for constructive and satisfying participa lion in tlx communities in which they find themselves. Further, the college aims to provide specialized education for pre professional students, future scholars, students in the fields of art. home economics, and physical education, and at the same time to promote the physical and mental health of them all. For the attainment of these intellectual aims, tlx' first two years are devoted mainly to training along broad cultural lines, and the last two years to advanced cultural training or specialized and pre-professional work. Personal development is assured through systematic counseling and the administering of a program of physical and health education. THF COI LEGE OF I IBF.RAI ARTS. 1952
