Of the number counted by the survey, 938 are serving in the Navy, Marine or Coast Guard. Of these men 626 are of- ficers in their respective branches. The rest of the survey number are serving in some branch of the Army. Seven K-State alumni have obtained the rank of brigadier general or higher, three having obtained the rank of major general. Mr. Ford also emphasized the fact that the above totals did not include men sent here for the Army Specialized Training Program or the Army Air Corps Program.

.r--l hti»i. A LTHOUGH holding second place in the total enrollment of the five schools, the School of Arts and Sciences has had the greatest drop in enrollment since the war started. As compared with a pre-war enrollment of about 1,200 students the School now averages around 5 00 each semester. This drop is due mostly to men students entering the armed services. The fall semester showed a total of 496 reg- istered in Arts and Sciences of whom 99 were men. An increase of 33 was noted in the spring when 128 men and 401 women enrolled. Because of war work, war service and marriages, several withdrew before completing the semester ' s work. Many of the approximately 100 returned vet- erans on the campus are enrolled in this school and are taking work of college level which leads to a degree. S C H O O L O F Courses which give work in the sciences and in professional and vocational subjects are replac- ing classical studies in land-grant college such as Kansas State. Believing that education should also include some preparation for the discharge of one ' s duties to the state and to the community, it is the province of the School of Arts and Sciences to give this basic scientific and cultural training. It is in this School that students from the other four Schools take basic required courses in English, history, physical education, speech, languages, bio- logical science and physical science. It is a reser- voir of knowledge for all of Kansas State and hours spent in laboratories, lectures and recitations will always be of service. Recognized nationally for the graduates which it has sent out into professional fields, the School of Arts and Sciences is perhaps the best known by the students. Page 30
