LIBERAL iRTS Since the founding of the University of Miami in 1926, the College of Liberal Arts, under the progressive guidance of Dean Henry S. West, has constituted the central unit of the whole university organization. With the steady expansion of the program of studies, the work required for the training of teachers was in 1929 coordinated into a School of Education. Meantime a Division of Late Afternoon, Evening, and Saturday Classes had been in operation for the benefit of teachers in service; and later the very dean west interesting Winter Institute of Literature was inaugurated. C The College of Liberal Arts offers the regular course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science, and a two-year curriculum of preengineering and pre-medical work. C The School of Education offers two distinct courses for students desirous of teaching, whether in the elementary field, junior high, or senior high schools. The curriculum incorporating requirements for the A. B. degree is a four-year course, but a two-year course is also offered which leads to the L.I. certificate. In both fields, students obtain definite professional training and an advanced command of the subjects taught in the schools. Presentation of the University diploma or certificate enables a graduate to teach in any Florida public school without further examination, by authorization of the Florida State Department of Education, fl Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the Liberal Arts School is the Winter Institute of Literature which brings before the students noted men and women distinguished in the fields of literature and art. Among the well-known authors who have lectured here are Carl Sandburg, Zona Gale, Padraic Colum, Percival Wilde, Walter Pritchard Eaton, Hervey Allen, Eunice Tietjens, and Cloyd Head. |[ The Division of Late Afternoon, Evening and Saturday Classes is intended primarily for instructors of South Florida who wish to continue courses toward an A. B. degree, but its classes are also open to undergraduate students of the university. Radio talks from the University Studio, prepared by professors of various departments, supplement these classes with interesting lectures presented in a novel way.
