Acting Dean Wilbur H. Siebert COLLEGE OF ARTS Hf: College of Liberal Arts has an enroU- I ment this year of nearly twenty-four V- ' hundred students, of whom about eleven hundred are Freshmen, about six hundred are Sophomores, four hundred and thirty-five are Juniors and two hundred forty are Seniors. The men number approximately seventeen hundred and the women, seven hundred. Our Freshmen, like the Freshmen of the other colleges, profited by Freshman Week. The exer- cises of that week will be somewhat modified next year in the light of our experience and even greater benefit will be thus secured. Special efforts have been made by the Administration and various Departments to prevent the closing of first year courses in required subjects. In the past the necessity of closing such courses has caused much inconvenience and disappointment to stu- dents, but this year it has been possible to provide additional instructors and sections, thus enabling the Departments to reduce the si:e of sections and to do more effective teaching. The Arts College has considerably enlarged its course offerings during the past year by adopting a number of courses in Music, Painting, Cera- mics and Land.scape Architecture. [23]

i f dii Alfred Vivian COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE y ' - ' HE Ohio State University began its exist- I ' •J ence as a College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, and from its inception agriculture has had an important place in the cur- ricular activities of its campus, and for the major part of that period equal prominence has been given to the work in Home Economics. Not con- tent with its work on the local campus, the Col- lege of Agriculture has undertaken through its Agricultural Extension Service to make its campus the entire state of Ohio. The College of Agriculture aims to equip its students for better living through better thinking and higher ideals of service. [22]
