BP The College of Arts and Sciences I ' miii ' Mason Palmer, A. B. Head of tlW College of Arts oiitl Sncnce THE COLLEGE of Arts and Sciences, dating from the incorporation of the University, in whose first register it was designated as the School of General Literature, has a total enrollment of twenty-five per cent of the entire under- graduate body at Lehigh. Under Professor I- ' alnier, who became head of the College in 1921 upon the death of Professor Robert W. Blake, the course has been con- sistently improved until now it rates among the most thorough in the East. No department pays finer tribute to Lehigh ' s founder, than does the College of .Arts and Science. It was provided for by Judge Asa Packer even when he was prinarily interested in a school to give technical training; and it has now grown to a position of wide scope and honorable recognition. Last year a plan was submitted and approved for adopting a system of compre- hensive examinations in this college, for all major subjects. By this plan, creative thinking and independent investigation in the major courses were encouraged, with a corresponding decrease of acquiring merely superficial knowledge of the sul)jects. A comprehensive examination in E nglish is also given to those students in the College of Arts and .Sciences who show a deficiency in the subject. A failure in this examination means the carrying of additional English during the .Senior year, without credit. The Department of History, under the head of Dr. Laurence H. Gipson, was recently added, and has rapidly grown in favor. The inauguration of a course in Fine Arts this year, under the supervision of Professor G. A. Howland, fills a long- needed want in the college. Lender the division of Fine Arts are given such subjects as History of Architecture, Freehand Drawing, and a study of the Fine Arts. Although in its infancy, the enrollment in this department was very large during the past year. The College of Arts and Sciences, while yet in its early days, was thought to be merely valuable in giving engineers a cultural background; but it has now come into its own and is one of the leading colleges at I ehigh. Its growth has taken from the LIniversity the designation of trade school , and has brought about a more balanced University life. Notwithstanding its comparative youth as compared with some of the older scientific departments, it has graduated many of Lehigh ' s most successful sons.

College of Business Administration NiCIL tAUOTHEKS, B. A., Ph. D. Head of llie College of Business Administralioii THK COLLEGE of Business Administration at Lehigh, like similar colleges at other universities, has grown from small beginnings not many years ago. A few courses in economics introduced into the Arts curriculum grew into many courses in economic science and business principles, and these in turn de- veloped into a separate college, with a four-year curriculum leading to a degree. Established in 1919, the curriculum now has the largest enrollment in the L niversity. The College has one feature which distinguishes it from others of its kind. This feature is the character of its curriculum. It is founded upon a belief in certain principles. One is that the first requirement for any pursuit in life is a sound general education. Another is that a student in business administration should be so trained in the fundamentals that he has a solid foundation for an line of business that he may enter. And a third is that an undergraduate curriculum can not suc- cessfully train students for highly specialized professional work. Based upon these principles, the curriculum permits no student to specialize so narrowly in any one field that he is untrained in all others, and it requires every student not only to learn the basic and fundamental facts that underlie every type of business but also to acquire a familiarity with the historical, social, cultural, and scientific background of business life. The curriculum, because of this ideal and this policy, differs distinctly from that of the typical school of business. It attempts to provide an unusualh- so und and efficient training for business life.
