CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS Agricultural chemistry, astronomy, bio- chemistry, chemistry, medical technology, physics and sugar technology these are the fields in which professional training is available in the College of Chemistry and Physics. In the study of these areas the stu- dent gains a knowledge of the fundamen- tals of science in industry and scientific research, as well as a broad general back- ground. Long hours, detailed concentra- tion, and utilization of complirated apparatus develop innovators for industry and pioneers in research for tomorrow.

EDUCATION As LSU has felt the pressures of in- creased enrollment even more so have our elementary and secondary schools. Helping to meet these needs has been the work of the College of Education. The careful pro- gram for students of the college culminates in supervised student teaching. It en- courages the teachers-to-be in high pur- pose, scholarship, teaching skill and under- standing. Thus the college prepares the teachers to help the youth of the nation to meet the needs of the future. Front Row: Jerry Huckaby, President; Dean Fred H. Fenn.

Fitting diemselves quickly into this pattern are the graduates of the College of Engi- neering of LSU. Agricultural, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, sugar, petro- leum and aeronautical engineering as well as architecture comprise the wide area of study of the college. Laboratory, drafting room, classroom and field work all con- tribute to the making of fine engineers and architects whose role in the future devel- opment of our state and nation will be significant.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The College of Business Administration provides business leaders for tomorrow. Ac- counting, Business and Public Administra- tion, Economics, Management and Secretarial Science are only a few of the 15 curricula in the college.

Reports on current business and economic conditions in Louisiana and the Louisiana Business Review are the work of the Division of Research. Left to Right: Rex Schultz, President; Patsy Campbell, Secretary-Treasurer; Dean J. N. Efferson. ARTS AND SCIENCES Three broad curricula in the College of Arts and Sciences, liberal arts, natural sciences, encompass the numerous fields of study pursued in the college. Here the stu- dent acquires a liberal education, concen- trating on intellectual development and orderly thinking. Centering in Allen Hall, the College extends throughout the Uni- versity and into many diverse fields.

LAW A source of pride to LSU, in view of its classic white marble building and espe- cially in view of its work, is the LSU School of Law. Somewhat unique, it pre- pares students to practice law in Louisiana where civil law based on the Napoleonic Code prevails. Broad legal principles and an understanding of their application in society are taught, and moot courts give practical experience. Aside from study, derbies and canes and George, the stone in the front sidewalk, are traditions not to be forgotten.

JUNIOR DIVISION Junior Division, the classification for freshmen, guides beginning students through their first semesters at LSU. By placement tests and careful advising, freshmen are directed to suitable courses and areas of study. Shiny heads, Books and Libraries, Saturday classes, no cuts, pajamas at the first football game, and Freshman Day see them through that first year. Assistance throughout the year by J.D. advisors and considerate upperclass- men eventually finds the freshman suc- cessfully entering his senior college.

C MUSIC To develop the individual ' s innate mu- sical skills and in so doing contribute to the growth both of the individual and of his fellow man is the purpose of the School of Music. Study programs in voice, composi- tion, instrument and sacred music are of both a vocational and an avocational na- ture. Student recitals and classes in the musical heritage of the world contribute to the cultural development not only of the music major but of students in other cur- ricula as well.
