Glnllege nf llitvratnrv, Srirnrr sinh Arts TI-IE COLLEGE OE LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND ARTS was estab- lished in 1869. The bill in the legislature that created this college was passed and signed by the governor on February 15, 1869. In accordance with this act Qld U Hall was erected, with Nebraska sandstone, in 1870, but later the Nebraska material was removed. This building slowly grew inadequate for the college, and from year to year it has spread itself over nearly the whole campus, until now it occupies the greater part of seven of the eleven buildings on the campus. The original charter of the University provided for six colleges: first, the College of Ancient and Modern Literature, Mathematics, and the Natural Sciences, second, the College of Agriculture, third, the College of Law, fourth, the College of Medicine, fifth, the College of Eine Arts, and, sixth, the College of Practical Sciences, Civil Engineering, and Mechanics. This classification lasted for about eight years, when the College of Agriculture and College of Prac- tical Sciences, Civil Engineering, and Mechanics were united into one college called the Industrial College. The title of the college of Ancient and Modern Lit- erature, Mathematics, and the Natural Sciences was changed at the same time to read the College of Literature, Science and Arts. This college was the first to open its doors to the public. School opened on September 6, 1871, with less than one hundred students and four instructors, the chancellor and three professors, who held the chairs of ancient language, English literature, and natural sciences. VV hen it opened its doors in September of the present year it registered over nine hundred students and has a faculty of one hun- dred and two instructors and thirty-ive assistants. Under the leadership of Dean Ellery Williaiiis Davis, Ph.D., the college has been steadily growing. I-Ie has brought it up to a very high standard, having added the departments of Roman history, literature and language, Greek history and literature, American history , European history, German language and litera- ture, science of education, political science and sociology, jurisprudence, public law and diplomacy, practice, history, and theory of teaching, which has been turned over to the new college of education, logic and metaphysics, and line arts, to the already established departments. From Chancellor Allen Benton, A.M., LL.D., down to Chancellor Samuel Avery, PhfD., this college has stood foremost and offered the best advantages of any college in the West.
