The College of Letters, Arts and Sciences l»F.AN I.OCKWOOI) rHK “DESERT” is a mirror in which each College and each University is truly reflected. The College of Letters, Arts and Sciences thanks the Editor and greets the Campus Public. We should like for you to see us in this magic mirror as we see ourselves: a division of our University that strives to maintain the highest standards of character and scholarship; that contributes helpfully to every student in the institution through the required basic courses; that carries the pre-law, the pre-medical, and the pre-dental student as far as possible on the road toward his professional goal; and that aims to give to its own major students not so much skill to make a living as vision and ability to live richly.
