COLLEGE OF LETTERS, ARTS AND SCIENCES THF.HR is a very good reason for the fact that the College of Letters. Arts, and Sciences leads all the others on the basis of student enrollment, for it offers the richest and most varied curriculum in Arizona. It is more a cultural college than otherwise, hut besides adding polish to a foundation of elementary knowledge, it brings the students in contact with a wide range of elective courses which give a general knowledge of many useful and interesting subjects that may not ! • enjoyed in the other college courses. Uut it should not lie the impression that this college fails to fit students for further profitable activity after school days are over, for this is an erroneous idea, as the number of professional business men Dean Ricseit and women, as well as cultural artists has proved, even to those who are inclined to lie skeptical. This college also affords an opportunity for students to enjoy a general understanding of most of the courses offered in the school. This year much of the college achievement is due to its Dean. Dr. I '. K. Kicscn. who. though new m his work here, has proved himself a strong and sympathetic leader. l.fttcjn. Art , mid FurHlIr Tw. jity.tix

THE DEAN OF WOMEN IX V KITING of Miss Evelyn Wellington Jones, it is difficult to remember the dignity of her office. Miss Jones really belies her youthful enthusiasm, her youthful spirit, and, best of all. her youthful appearance hen she took office as the Dean of Women. Her two years of companionship with the co-eds have added to the fame and lustre she brought here . . . may Iter kind increase! D ■tin Jor.cs THE COMPTROLLER HERE'S a job! There is just so much to spend and so many places to spend it. Need we say that Mr. brands .V Walker’s position excites no envy front other University executives ? With perfect assistants. Mr. Walker rot only keeps account of the path of every centavo that enters his office, but very very seldom does any one. of nearly two thousand students, have a mis.ake .n his. or hers, as the case may l e—account.

Agricultural FiOillr COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE Ar.KICri.Tl Kii is the oldest of all professions and industries. Kach primitive man had to deal somewhat with problems concerning the tillage and cultivation of land products. Through the ages Agriculture has assumed greater and greater importance, until today it has developed into a science and an art. Naturally, since land is the Imis of human and animal existence, knowledge of its secrets of productivity is of the major imjxirtancc. and cannot l e over-emphasized in the minds of the youth of today, for since it is a well known fact that land follows the law of diminishing returns, new methods of increasing the amount of yearly produce must continually lie made, and those who expect to contribute to the future development of agriculture must have a broad fundamental training in its sciences, and in the application of these sciences. Much of the interest and enthusiasm which has contributed to the success of this college is due to those same qualities l os esse:l by Dean Hall, dean of his staff of agriculturists and a source of information and encouragement to the young agricultural aspirants. His success may be credited to the fact that he himself is interested in his subject and in the problems which it holds for the future years and generations. Dean Ball Tw niy-t«v«ii DetefiT
