Below: Histology Lab Class. the study of the natural sciences the student is given an introductory knowledge of the resources and forces of nature. A comparative study of other civilizations is made possible through the appreciation and inter- pretation of ancient and modern lit- erature and classics. By tracing the constructive as well as the destructive elements of political, social, and re- ligious history, a complete review of historical characters, incidents and general movements is offered. The principles of philosophy and religion enable the student to discriminate be- tween truth and error. ‘The purpose of this training given by the College is not attained by four years study. It continues with the student as a constructive force of character and a stimulus to effort. It extends itself into the social, moral, intellectual and religious life of the world, preparing him for the obliga- tions, the duties, and the opportun- ities afforded him. ‘The training of the College of Arts and Sciences is not toward a goal immediately aca- demic but rather a technique that in- creases the student's aptitude for the work to be done in his chosen career. That the College is fulfilling its pur- ‘pose may be attested to by the many prominent alumni of which it may boast. Outstanding judges, lawyers, and many leaders in the social and political life of Detroit have brought fame to their college. In addition to this, the splendid work in our laboratories being carried on by the Physics, Chemistry, and Buol- ogy Departments has won note- worthy recognition for the College of Arts and Sciences. Nation-wide in- terest has been drawn by the experi- ments carried on in the chemical lab- oratories in the development of alcohol-gasoline. The manufacturing process by which the new gasoline is made employs several farm products with alcoholic content.

Josephy Gab lvnnse pes who succeeded Father Horst as De an in 1931, is deserving of much credit for the recent progress of the College. Father Flynn came here from Creigh- ton University where he had held the position of Dean since 1925. Pre- vious to this he had served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Marquette University. He holds the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Arts from St. Louis University, as well as Doctor of Divinity. Father Flynn's ability as an organizer and director is deeply appreciated by those who have the opportunity to asso- ciate with him. The advancement of the College of Arts and Sciences has continued to this present semester. Re-organization of the Department of Education on a larger and more stable basis was ac- complished this year. For the first time the school contracted directly with the Board of Education in De- troit to permit University students to do practice teaching in public high schools. The objective of the College of Arts and Sciences has not varied since it was first founded. Its primary purpose is to offer general and cultural train- ing. The College aims to develop mental skill in the uses of the fac- ulties of the mind, the memory, the understanding, and the will. Through Top Row (Left to Right) —Paul J. Aldus, Wil- liam M. Baker.
