Do,;n of the College of Arts ami Science LONG with the gciiLTal progress and development of the Unixersity during the past year, the College of Arts and Science has kept pace, as is evidenced by the i (illowmg considerations: In attendance it has c:intinued to enroll about () per cent ot the students in the entire Uni ' ersity. ' Jdiis college has been c nsidered the Women ' s School, yet during the present semester there are only five more women than men registered. The entrance requirements ha e been raised to exclude special students not residents of Nevada, and the high school entrance offerings must be of higher grade than formerl)-. These changes, among others, bring the aver- age quality of work t) a higher le el and help to maintain Nevada ' s place am:)ng the American colleges of first rank. Thouiih our school is comparatively small and oiu needs not yet urgent, still we have planned for the future and haw established a file of personnel cartls on which is kept the college history of the stiulent.

DEAN OF MEN 1 ,ii S HE development of character should be the chief aim of all educational eifort. There is so much wreckage in college life and the number of those who enter with high hopes and purposes and who finally arrive, is so small that there seems to be a real human problem here for solution. A college and its processes should not be considered merely as a machine, for it is dealing with men — men with different native abilities and aptitudes — men from different social and economic home influences, each affected by its own cn ' ironment. RAYMOND H. LKACK Dean uf Men It is the pri ' ilege of the Dean of Men to come to know these different lads and to help them solve the various problems which present themseh ' es during their college years. The greatest reward which can come to one in this ofHce is the confidence and friendship of the men with whom he deals. ■ — Raymond Hotchkiss Leach. 1 ' Ni LINCOLN HALL, MEN ' S DORMITORY -4 19]t -

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE new stiuk ' iit in his new en ' ir()nment, and to help him av,;id the machine-like methods of education which iia e been forced up .n some of our large universities. In the main, while recognizing that education may hec-me too thin if spread over too many subjects, yet the c )llege offerings are cultural and give little oppor- tunity to the specialist who wishes to learn more and more about less and less. Likewise, we cannot properly pro ' ide for those students who view a college course merely as a business asset and eagerly elect only those courses of study which seem to lead to a salaried position in the marts of trade. We do not plan to graduate super-Babbitts. On the other hand we do strive to graduate men with cultixated minds, spiritual percep- tion, philosophic temper, and with fitness and capacity to function as citizens in a democracy. We cannot offer everything to everybody who comes. We can offer a definite kind of development to a coherent body of students fitted by nature and training to receive it. Plato ' s idea still holds. There is a certain kind of knowledge which, if you possess it, makes you not a stranger in regions strange to you. — Maxwell Adams. iH S Top Rc,v — Edwin DuL-rr, F. C. Muigdtten, Gci.rpc W. Sens, A.
