THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The original college of the pres- ent University was the COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES, chartered as Queen's College in 1766. Its twenty departments of instruc- tion cover all the main fields of general knowledge, from astronomy to zoology. The nine curricula, each of which combines specialized learning with a Wide cultural background, include: language and literature, mathematics and natural science, bio- logical science, history and political science, economics, business admin- istration, government service, journalism and sanitary science. From his desk in Old Queen's, Dean VValter T. Marvin administers the multitudinous affairs of the college. Dean Marvin also holds the chair of Collegiate Church Professor of Logic and Mental Philosophy and is widely known as the author of numerous books on philosophy. Arduous as his duties are, he still regards his job as his hobby, although he Hnds it necessary occasionally to relax in swimming, playing golf or sailing his catboat. One of his fond hopes is the complete realization of the Honor School plan, which is still in its infancy in the College of Arts and Sciences.
