College of FIIE ARTS E IGH 1 humlicd and fdty students of art and music create an atmosphere of a veritable Latin Quarter in picturesque Grouse college, ' ould-bc Michaelangclos, bedecked in gaily colored slacks and smocks, dash about the ancient halls vith dra ving boards under arm, while prospecti e Jenny Linds trill scales and sing intervals-of-a-third all day long. Frequent exhibitions of student and faculty work are shown in Grouse and also in the main library for the benefit of students in other colleges. Musicians appear in many recitals each year, several of these being open to the public. The fifty-foin- faculty members, headed by Dean Harold L. Butler are known throughout the coimtrv for their excellence. Their pupils graduate as the proud possessors of degrees from the first Fine Arts college in the United States. F.

I N the Hall of Languages, headquarters for the College of Liberal Arts, students climb up creaky old stairs to classes in English, philosophy and the languages. Over in Lyman Hall, midst the odor of formaldehyde, and the staring glares of ancient fossils, they delve into the sciences. Within Bowne Hall and Maxwell School of Citizenship many other Liberal Arts courses are taught. They over- spread the campus — these seekers of the more cultured aspect of life. 1,634 of them are headed by Finla Crawford, the dean of the largest and oldest college on the hill. The curriculum offered is organized to provide students with a well-rounded, balanced knowledge of the arts. In their last two years, they can specialize in any of the desired fields within the col- lege itself or combine majors with the other schools on the campus under a dual enrollment system. The college ' s objectives are three-fold: to provide fundamental tools to be used in constructing a life program, to develop citizen- siiip with a broad perspective, and to enable men to lead a success- ful life. It is from within its rank that the wearers of Phi Beta Kappa keys emerge — nationally recognized members of the honor- ary for excellence in scholarship.

CROUSE COLLEGE T HE ARCHITECTS, enrolled in the College of Fine Arts, climb to the fourth floor of Slocum Hall to attend classes. The depart- ment has draughting, class, and cast rooms, a tool shop and a material museimi — well-equipped to graduate efficient draftsmen. Students must complete a five-year coinse in architecture or land- scape architecture in order to recei e their bachelor ' s degree. It isn ' t all work for Jack, the architect, however. He attends dances gi en by his associates, and does defense draughting for the city — with pay! Harold L. Butler DE. N OF FINE ARTS
