Dean G. W. Droke College F IVE hundred and sixty-eight have enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences the present session, and I must use the threadbare and stereotyped expression that this is the largest enrollment in the history of the University. There are seventeen departments, seventeen professors, five associate professors, ten assistant professors, eighteen instructors, and five assistants. It is the aim of this college to give its students as broad and symmetrical training as the equipment in things and faculty members which the state of Arkansas is willing to furnish will permit. All honor to the industrious and intelligent farmer, and to the honest and conscientious man and woman in every vocation, but as a rule the highest in¬ tellectual, moral, and spiritual leadership has been attained by men and women trained in the literatures, philosophies, and sciences of the present and former ages of the world. After the completion of a literary and classical education there will be quite time enough to envelop one’s intellectual body with a professional or vocational corset. Rome was not built in a day. It is highly necessary to take time for ample preparation. It is the prepared man who goes careering to the highest positions of leadership. In this fun-loving, pleasure-seeking, restless age, it is absolutely discouraging to see young people so careless in making preparation for their life ' s work. They seem to expect to accomplish in a few years a feat in character building a thousand times more important to the individual than the building of any city, however magnificent and imposing. The educational value of the colleges of liberal arts in universities and of the small endowed colleges cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents. Pa 28
