COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND HOME ECONOMICS GERALD T. HUDSON Dean of Agriculture and Home Economics The University of Arkansas, as the Land Grant College of the state, has the responsibility for the leadership in agriculture and home economics which it fulfills through the Division of Agricul¬ ture. The Division includes programs of resident teaching in the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, research in the Agricultural Experi¬ mental Station, and extension in the Agricultural Extension Service. Students from all areas of the l T nited States and numerous foreign countries study at the college. The curriculum of the College includes basic training in the sciences and humanities, as well as in technical agriculture and home economics. Those enrolled in agriculture may choose any one of five plans to best satisfy their interests and goals. Students in home economics may enroll in either the foundation program with its system of electives, or the teacher-education curriculum. Through an agreement with the College of Vet¬ erinary Medicine of Oklahoma State University, residents of Arkansas may complete training in veterinary medicine at this school without p aying out-of-state tuition. Gerald T. Hudson serves as dean of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics and reports directly to the head of the Division of Agriculture. In line with its continual efforts to keep up with the latest advances in experimentation and re¬ search, the Division dedicated the completed Ani¬ mal Science Center this fall. FACULTY: D. A.

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The College of Arts and Sciences is the Uni¬ versity’s largest college and had an enrollment of 2600 during the fall semester. The faculty, used to sharing classrooms, welcomed the completion of the Science and Engineering building, for it gave several of the twenty-four departments new rooms and offices. Under the administration of a new dean, Rob¬ ert F. Kruh, and his assistant, Robert S. Fairchild, the college works toward the goal of giving stu¬ dents the components of a general education. It offers four baccalaureate degrees attained by com¬ pletion of a basic curriculum, including designat¬ ed courses in the fields for which the college is named, and extensive specialization in a major field. An outstanding feature of the College of Arts and Sciences is the Honors Program. This pro¬ gram, co-ordinated by Harold D. Hantz, gives the superior student opportunities for independent study and special library privileges. Small honor sections, in which students go more deeply into the subject matter, are offered as well as special discussion groups during the junior-senior years. I his year the colloquium su bjects were “Freud in the Twentieth Century,” “Science and Religion,” and “Greek Ways of Life.” With this excellent ad¬ dition to its regular program, the College of Arts and Sciences continues to maintain its reputation for high educational standards.
