B. degree. A large majority of freshmen come to the U with no idea, of the course they would be interested in. They have come for an education, It is no wonder then that the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences feels a definite respon- sibility and has arranged for the ninety per cent of the freshinan students who enter this col- lege a guidance program which enables them to get a. niaximuin of opportunity in the planning of their courses. Dynamic, energei ic, nervous, mustaclied helms- nian ot the College of Arts and Sciences is Dean A. M. Pardee who is also the precise, exacting head of the chemistry department.

Through the dura- tion of four long' plays and scores of one-act NV. R. Colton serves expertly as dean and spe- cial instructor of his students in the College of Fine Arts. From his studio atop Old Main, Dean Colton watches and helps students they pass to concerts, spec'al lessons and recitals in the aesthetic field of endeavor. plays for various purposes, embryo Barrymores show the World- what drama, really is. More than half of the students in the U are registered in courses in. the College of Fine Arts. Teaching is the ambition of many of these peo- ple.
