JACOB VAN EK, Dean ARTS AND SCIENCES The principal aim of the College of Arts and Sciences is to pro- vide its nnembers with a general education in contrast to professional or vocational training. As a means of acquiring this general education, students In the College of Arts and Sciences are expected to pursue studies in the various great fields of knowledge such as the sciences, the humanities, and the social studies. This study of the ideas and tech- niques in these fields should give an individual a realization of the problems to be solved in each and the difficulties encountered in at- tempting solutions. It should familiarize him with the ideals which have motivated those who have made contributions to humanity by achieve- ment in these fields. It is hoped that students in the College of Arts and Sciences will thus be influenced by the best that has been done and thought and felt and hoped for by the leaders, not merely in one realm of thought or one profession, but in the various fields of Intel- lectual activity, to the end that, when they continue study for profes- sional training or when they assume active roles in society, they will be Individuals with fine Ideals; that they will respond only to the highest emotional appeals; that, when they are confronted with the perplexing issues which society inevitably presents, they will make decisions in accordance with the highest Ideals of social welfare and not act as bewildered individuals obeying random impulses regardless of the con- sequences of their actions to their fellow human beings. We hope that the members of the College of Arts and Sciences will avail themselves of the facilities which this division of the University provides to the end that each one of them may realize to the fullest extent the objectives set forth in this statement. JACOB VAN EK, Dean COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING The College of Engineering offers a four-year curriculum In each of five branches of this field of study; namely, civil, electrical, mechan- ical, chemical, and architectural engineering. The successful completion of the prescribed and elective work in any one of these fields leads to the Bachelor of Science degree, to which is added a designation of the particular branch pursued. For example, in civil engineering the degree conferred is B. S. (C. E.). Those students who have made an outstanding scholastic record may receive the degree With Special Honors, and those who have closely approached this mark of excellence may receive the degree With hHonors. Two hundred and eight hours are required for graduation. These four-year courses are primarily scientific and professional In character. They are based on Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Mechanics but in addition to these and the professional subject matter a generous number of credits In English, drawing, economics, and kin- dred subjects are required and free electives are permitted, especially in the Junior and Senior years. The course Is difficult and exacting but its successful completion means a well disciplined mind and a firm foundation for further study or practice, not only in engineering, but In most other fields of human endeavor.
