he Coll g of DNN Mariurw Tuimi-wx Mit it RI The largest college in the University attained its present status in 1913, when the College ot Literature and Arts and the College of Sciences were combined to form the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with the late Kendrick C. Babcock as Dean. Since then the College has endeavored to integrate instruction in both the humanities and sciences. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has two par- ticular functions. First, it enrolls students in specialized and pre-professional curriculag for instance, pre-medical. iheral Art and Seiellces YL pre-law, prevjournalism, chemistry, and chemical engineer- ing. Second, it provides the resources for a liberal edu- cation. Liberal means a prograrn leading to Ll well rounded personal developmentg that is, a program in which the studies emphasize factors that contribute to a general knowledge and interpretation of the forces, tend- encies, contlicts, and problems of lite, rather than lead to specific individual careers. ig' 34,56 Mitthcw Th-um svn M flute Dcin it' flie t' vllcee rt' lib ril arts ml irlenggq A ' P 1 1 .

n DEAN HERMRT XYIINDSOR Mer-iroan The College of Agriculture had its beginning in a com- bined course in agriculture and horticulture. This was one of two courses offered when the University of Illinois began instruction on March 2, 1868, as the Illinois Industrial University. There were only three instructors and fifty men students in the entire institution. Today the College of Agriculture has a stan' of approximately 250 and an en- rollment of more than 1,350 students in agriculture and home economics. From its thousands of graduates come leaders in farming and homemaking, in teaching and extension service in agri- e Coll of A ri ultur culture and home economics, and in technical positions and public service closely allied to these two helds. Through its Extension Service, farmers, homemakers, and consumers everywhere get the teachings and findings of the University. There is perhaps no better reliection of the Colleges wide range of service than the fact that some 13,000 people annually attend its conferences, meetings, and short courses. wif +. ,g Herbert Windsor Mumford, Dean of the Collere of Agriculture, and Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Extension Service since 1922, was born in Moscow, Michigan, February 26, 1871. He attended Albion College and then Michigan State College, where he received the Bachelor of Science decree -and the honorary degree of Doctor of Agriculture. He served on the faculty 'ot'-Michigan State College from 1895 to 1901, when he came to the University ot .Illinois as pro- fessor of Animal Husbandry and chief of Animal Husbandry in the Agricultural Experi- ment Station. Dean Mumford is a member of numerous agricultural and scientitic organizations. He received noteworthy recognition while he was a member ot the Amer- ican Study Commission for German Agriculture in 1928 and a member of the Mexican Agricultural Commission in 1930. In addition to being the author of two books on agriculture, he has contributed material to the Cyclopedia Americana and the Cyclopedia of American Agriculture. Page 29 4. 0 r il .
