COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE DEAN CECIL A. TAYLOR Dean of the College oj Arts and Sciences I The primary purpose of the College of Arts and Sciences is to af- ford the student a liberal education, which by its nature is broad rather than narrow, devoted to intellectual development and disci- pline rather than to the acquisition of technical skills. It should give the student some knowledge of the achievements of the human mind, with special reference to the Western civilization of which both the ancient world and contemporary America are parts; of the historical and cultural backgrounds essential to a true understanding of our world; above all, of orderly thinking processes and of a scale of values by which he can distinguish the permanent and the trivial, the substantial and the pretentious, the good and the bad. o R FRANKLIN DeWITT PLATT JEANNE MARCHESSAW CAROLIE ROBKRTSOiN President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer
