K THE SCHOOL OF ARTS. When the University was first opened to students, there was but one department, that which has since developed into the School ot Arts. There were in this department three chairs, that of hellcs-lettres, mental and moral science, that of languages, and that of niathematics and natural science. Dur- ing the first year of the University's existence this :formed merely a preparatory school, and three instructors pertorined all the duties pertaining to it. Two young women were fitted to enter the collegiate course hy the next year, and from that time the college was divided into two departments, Preparatory and Collegiate. There were three teachers added to the Faculty in this second year, and the nmnher continued to increase each year for some time. llntil 1875 no different course ol' instruc- tion was otfered, but at that time the Normal .Department was opened, and was carried on until 1885. Until 1872 the home of the school was in North College: hut in Decemher ot' that year Fraser 'Hall was completed and the University took up its headquarters there. This hnilding continues to he the residence of the School of Arts, and the School of Tiaw also has its location there. The preparatory school was discontinucdin 1891-2, at which time the entire school was reorganized. 'Previous to this time the different schools ot' the University, though separate. were classed to- gether, and the instructors stormed but one Faculty or Board of Instruction. During this year the Board of Regents divided the University into separate schools, and appointed a Dean over each. The School ol' Arts had 'for its first Bean Professor D. Tl. Bohinson, who held this position until 1895, the time ol' his death. The present Bean, Professor E. Miller, was ap- pointed to till the vacancy. From three memhers, the Faculty in this department has increased to fifty-f'our. while the student hody has increased from two to six hundred. Tnstruetion is ottered in twenty- seven subjects. 1 I.
