CllLLllllE 0F ART The results of a college education can never be mea- sured in terms of examinations or credits or degrees, but they are results which our society demands that its youth be equipped with. The studentls academic growth during his four years in the College not only keeps in sight preparation for vocational or profes- sional goals, but also keeps in touch with the broader aspects of life. The College of Arts and Sciences offers opportunities for a degree of specialization in its last two years, but always with the understanding that a certain background of intellectuality, of insight into some of the broader meanings of human life, have been achieved. These results, summed up in the phrase intellectual maturityfl give the student a balance and sensitivity to the realities around him. 11 20 .4-1?

The College attempts to supply the cultural train- ing which should underlie the more specialized work of the graduate, professional, or vocational school. The materials for this training are provided by the interests and achievements of man as they appear in his cultural records, his social institutions, and his investigation of natural laws. The courses prepara- tory to law, medicine, and the other professions are planned and taught as cultural subjects, and do not infringe upon the work of the professional school. Vfhatever other objectives might be set up in this College, its basic purpose among all its students must be to induce an intellectual maturity, for in it are included all of the Hnest qualities of citizenship and individual achievement. The University of New Mexico continues to set this sort of objective as the best it can offer to all students in the College of Arts and Sciences. 21
