THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Philip Mason F iMtK, A. 15, Ilnul of the Coll,-, ,- „f Arts „ml S,i,-„,,-s ALTHOUGH LEHIGH was established primarily as a technical school, its founder, Asa Packer, realized the need of cultural training for engineers. Consequently a School of General Litera- ture was included when the University was first incorporated. From this school Lehigh ' s College of Arts and Sciences has grown to a place of prominence and high standing. It offers the traditional college curriculum, modified to some extent to meet the needs of modern life and thought. Such a course is not a training for a vocation but is essentially a cultivation of a love of learning. It seeks to gratify intellectual curiosity and to impart the teachings of the essentials of forceful and intelligent living. The Arts course is a pre-requisite for training in the professions of law, medicine, theology, and teaching. It is also the usual basis for graduate study for higher degrees. In his first year the student continues to follow a line of study patterned to fit in sequence with those subjects which he offered for entrance. The course becomes increasingly elective as the student progresses to his senior year. He has an unlimited field from which to choose his line of study, the only restriction being that he must select some major, and, with the approval of the Department Director, fol- low along this same line throughout the four years. At the end of the senior year a rigid examination is given each student in his major subject. In general, the College aims at a reasonable amount of work well dene, rather than a large amount indifferently done. The degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences.

THE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Xeii, C |! ' ithi;rs, H.A., Pii.l), lletui ,ii tin- Ciillri f 0 liusiiirs! .-I ilmniislialion THIS college is the youngest one in the university, and is less th.in ten ye.irs old. The oldest Business College of this kind is less than httv years old. In the early histories of universities a course was given in economics. More courses were added until it was organized into the department of ec- onomics of the Arts College. Because of its importance in training under- graduates for the business world it was soon made a separate college; giving its own degree. Beginning with a mere handful of students, limited quarters, and few instructors it has grown until now it occupies a large building of its own, handles one-fifth of the student body takmg courses there, and offers a complete four year course leading to a degree in business science. The college is founded upon certain principles. One is that the first requirement for entrance in to anv profession is to have a sound general education. Upon this as a start, students in this college arc trained in the fundamentals so that the) ' have a solid foundation for any type of business that they may enter. The curriculum does not permit a student to specialize to such an extent in one field that he is unfitted for any others. A narrow education no matter how complete will avail a man very little in business and industrial fields today. The basic factors in all business are the understanding of the funda- mentals of economics, accountancy, and finance. The importance of business training is such that the curricula of all colleges of the University include courses in this department for the preparation of their undergraduates for the fields of industry. The reputation of the college is shown by the types of positions that are open to its graduates. Last year, the Achievement Tests of the Carnegie Foundation rated Lehigh first among all the business colleges in the state of Pennsylvania.
