Arts Sciences Largest College Well-equipped chemistry labs supervised by qualified instruc¬ tors are bright spots in the College of Arts and Sciences. Dean Robert F. Kruh The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest col¬ lege of the University. Objectives of the College are to train students to be specialists in the scientific or cultural field of their choice and to give them the components of a general, liberal arts education. A parallel objective is to encourage and develop re¬ search and other creative activity in each department of the College. Students are made acquainted with lead¬ ing ideas and significant facts and mastery of habits of thought and methods of work in the natural and social sciences, languages, literature, fine arts, history and philosophy. Under the administration of Dean Robert F. Kruh and his assistant, Robert S. Fairchild, the college works toward its goal, offering four baccalaureate degrees at¬ tained by completion of a basic curriculum. The Honors Program, co-ordinated by Dr. Harold I). Hantz, is the outstanding feature of the College. This program is designed to provide every possible oppor¬ tunity to the superior student for achieving a level of accomplishment which might not normally be possible. A student is nominated to participate in the honors pro¬ gram at the end of his sophomore year on the basis of performance shown during the first two years of study. 24
