fi , I will wr- -H5442-u al-AEE-ua College of Arts and Sciences 6 l Dean Albert Luther Candy Arts and Sciences and State Hlberf L. Candy The term arts, or liberal arts, as applied to certain studies is of Roman origin, and was used in the schools of Paris as early as the ninth century. There were seven of these arts? grammar, logic, rhetoric, tThe Triviuml, music, arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy, QThe Quadriviumj. When the universities of the Middle Ages were established the term Faculty ot Arts was used to denote the instructors in science and philosophy as distinguished from the faculties of theology, medicine, and law. Likewise the discipline derived from the study of these liberal arts came to be called a Liberal Education as distinguished from a pro- fessional education, or mere technical training. At the present time it is the function of the colleges not only to furnish a liberal educa- tion to those students who desire such training, but also to give instruction in these fundamen- tal branches to students in all the professional colleges, which in some instances constitutes a large part of the work required for a degree. Thus in a very real sense this college is the center around which, or the foundation upon Which, the whole University is organized. Hence it is essential for the success of all the other colleges that the highest standard of in- struction, be maintained in these liberal arts. A great modern university is impossible Without a strong college of Arts and Science.
