From his office on the sec- ond floor of Old Main, Dean Hosford directs the College of Arts and Sciences, which has boasted the largest enrollment on the campus since the University was founded in 1871. Besides offering courses that lead to a liberal education, the college also supervises many of the courses for pre-professional curricula. Old Nlain houses the departments of language, physics, speech, journalism, art, English, and history. ln other build- ings on the campus are the departments of philosophy, psy- chology, chemistry, Zoology, botany, and music. Because of his service in the last war, Dean lslosford has been unusually qualified to act as a capable adviser for the boys in his college who have tried to make their college work fit in with the military program. li ll li ll li lf, 'lf ll lyl Dean XV. R. Horlacher, head of the College of Agriculture, is also director of the Agricultural Extension Service and thus is kept in constant touch With the agricultural interests of the state. The College of Agriculture has headquarters in two build- ings on the campus-one for Agriculture and one for Home Economics. The University Experiment Farm is located about two miles north of the campus, and there the agri boys get a chance to try out the new farming methods they learn in the class room. They raise cattle, pigs, oats, wheat, and barley. Dairy products are marketed at the University dairy, thus giv- ing the students the chance to follow their products from the farm to the market. The Home Economics building is one of the newest and best-equipped buildings on the campus. Nursery school and the bacteriology lab are located in the basement, a living room and a dining room in connection with the foods lab are found on the first floor, and clothing labs and the department for practice teaching are found on the third. The College of Agriculture has made a special effort to develop courses in the University curriculum for the veterans of Vllorld War ll. Since the war started, the College has directed campaigns to help the war effort in getting enough food raised for the war emergency. Page 22

lllifilXllFif3 lllll Dr. Paul YV. Nlilam, Dean of the College of Business Ad- ministration, came to the University of Arkansas in 1930, as an instructor. He was made Dean of the College of Business Administration in Nlarch, 1944, after serving for six months as acting dean. The College of Business Administration is one of the newest on the campus. It was organized as a two year School of Business by the late President Futrall and Dr. C. C. Fitchner in 1926, and it was only in 1936 that it became a four year college. VVhen the ASTP took over part of the Commerce Building for its administrative offices, the members of the Business School did not mind, because they had moved most of their classes to the new Classroom Building. The College offers courses in the fundamentals of account- ing, commercial law, economics, finance, typewriting, short- hand, and bookkeeping. Outside work for these subjects is done in the College,s own library. Commerce students celebrate their own Commerce Day, noted for its dollar marks smeared all over the campus. On this day they elect a queen, ignore classes, hold a dance, and put out a special edition of the Guild Ticker, official publication of the College. i : V f , 1 l , - Dean H. G. Hotz heads the College of Education. Noted for belonging to practically every committee on the campus, Dean Hotz is chairman of the University committee on Post- war Education and chairman of the State Organization Com- mittee for Conference on Postwar Plans for Higher Education in Arkansas. The College of Education had its beginning in 1398, when it was entitled the Department of Pedagogy. Not until 1918 did it lose this title and become the Department of Education. Then three years later the name was changed again to the College of Education. Headquarters for the College are found in Peabody Hall, where the prospective educators act as teachers as well as pupils. In the primary and high school department of the Uni- versity Training School, headed by C. H. Cross, the student teachers forget their theory and struggle with practice. Also under the wing of the College of Education comes Agricultural Education, which has its own offices in the in- firmary building. An outstanding service of the College of Education is the Teachers' Placement Bureau, which annually helps find schools for the graduates. Page 23
