the college of The College of Arts and Sciences emphasizes the education-of young men and women in the liberal tradition to fit them to take their places as free individuals in a free society. Through the study of the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, the student obtains an understanding of his civilization and of his physical and social environment. From the humanities he gains an appreciation of the literature, languages, art, music, and ideas of his and of earlier civilizations, and it is hoped a taste for the finer things in our heritage that will grow and lead to a fuller enjoyment of life. The social sciences provide an understandingr 0f the complexities of our society and 0f the problems that face the various communities, peoples, and nations of the world, and in this way contribute to producing better informed citizens. Both the social sciences and the humanities provide the bases for developing sound values. The College of Arts and Sciences also offers training for teaching, preparation in home economics, and basic courses in the liberal arts for those students who will specialize later in technical subjects and in business administration. The aim of the Arts and Sciences program is that students will acquire from their college education a breadth of vision and under- standing of men and society so that the students will be able to reach imaginative solutions to the problems which will confront them.
