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.

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. The College of Arts and Science has planned for next year a system whereby each entering Freshman will have a special faculty adviser appDiinted to help orient the 11: ' ii ' wim 1 r f ft Top Row — John K.

w .-Jt - SCHOOL OF EDUCATION HE following facts indicate something of the rrowth ot this work in the last seven years: Com- paring the year of 1920-21 with the present year there has been an increase in the luimber of normal students from 2 5 to 7 7, or 2()(S per cent. The Seniors have in- creased from 1 7 to 62, or 329 per cent. The total enroll- ment of the University has increased from 726 to 1000 — an increase of .IH per cent. In the first year nine per cent of all students were students in education. Now it is 21 per cent. Seven years ago six per cent of our stu- tlents were men. At present 18 per cent are men. Sixty per cent of the students elected to Phi Kappa Phi in these seven years were te.ichers, indicating the quality of student in education and the quality of service the school is render- ing tlie state. That the state is recognizing this is shown by the relati ' e ease with which the appointment committee is able to place the increasing number of candidates. While this growth reflects the University growth as a whole, it is gratifying that the School of Ediication has not ilropped behintl. JOHN WILLIAM HALL Dean — John William Hall. Top Row — Benson D.
