Seekers Wear Seve n-League Boots Back in 1926, the year of Miami’s big blow, the city also witnessed the preliminary puffings of a new institution of learning, which from that time on was destined to increase in intensity. The College of Liberal Arts maintained the largest enrollment percentage since the University’s founding. This major division, headed by Dean Elmer V. Hjort, is the mainstay of culture and education, offering courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. After the long-awaited victory salute, the University returned to the semester system employed prior to 1942. Students are still enabled to complete their college education at accelerated speed; however, by attending summer school. This year also marked the return to a prewar curriculum with less emphasis on military courses. It was hard to say farewell and bon voyage to the boys wearing bell-bottom trousers at the end of October. The University received a letter of commendation from the United States Navy department on a job reported well done in instructing the V-12 unit. Pre-war college days are here again with civvies taking dominance over khaki and navy blue on campus as returning veterans fill the classrooms. New additions to the faculty staff have been made throughout the year to correspond to expanding enrollment. It is possible for the veterans to refresh their memories by taking certain adjustment courses before entering the College of Liberal Arts. A suitable course in pre-engineering is being offered in the College for those students desiring to obtain a degree in this field. A million dollar fund has been donated toward the future University School of Engineering. The College also affords an opportunity for the completion of pre-dental or pre-medical work. In 1942, and throughout the war years when an intense wave of patriotism swept the country, approximately one-half of our fulltime faculty members contributed directly to the war effort. They were active in positions varying from that occupied by John H. Clouse, now professor of physics, as test engineer in a company manufacturing oxygen regulators, to valuable military work done in Psychology faculty, Dr. Leon B.

Woodbury, botany instructor, was engaged in defense work at Vultee Aircraft corporation, while Dr. Robert E. McNicoll, professor of Hispanic-American History and Institutions, has been connected with the State department in Washington, D. C. The University can be justly proud of this record of achievement made as one of its chief contributions to the war effort. There is no doubt in the minds of Dean Hjort and other Liberal Arts faculty members concerning the future of the University of Miami, which is viewed realistically through rose-colored glasses. Though young in years, it is rich in the spirit that is gaining for it a proper place among other great cultural centers of the country. first. English faculty, Seated: Dr. Willard H.
