Probably during his four or five years this grad learned a little of Plato, studied the ideas of Copernicus, struggled with Western Civ, dabbled in poetry, and perhaps majored in geology. Then again he may have spent his time in Malott Hall earning a degree in chem- istry or have followed trails blazed by John Ise in the field of economics. In fact this graduate of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences could have earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in any one of thirty-nine fields or a Bachelor of Science de- gree in one of five different fields. i
