College of Arts and Letters When the University opened in 1960, one of the four original colleges was the College of Liberal Arts, which was composed of four divisions. One of these divisions was the Division of Language-Literature which was located in the Administration Building t'60-'63L the Fine Arts Building t'64-'681, and the Faculty Office Building t'69-'711. In 1971, the Division of Language-Literature moved to its present location and became the College of Language-Literature. But it was not until 1975 that the College was renamed College of Arts and Letters. 1750 undergraduate students are able to choose from the 21 majors that are offered. On the graduate level, which amounts to 200 students, seven degrees are offered in the master's program and one tEninsm in the doctorate program.

. . . a University is not a birthplace of poets or of immortal authors, of founders of schools, leaders of colonies, or conquerors of nations. It does not promise a generation of Aristotles or Newtons, of Napoleans or Washingtons, or Shakespeares, though such miracles of nature it has before now contained within its precincts. Nor is it content on the other hand with forming the critic or the ex- perimentaiist, the economist or the engineer, though such too it includes within its scope. But a University training is the great ordinary means to a great but ordinary end; it aims at raising the in- tellectual tone of society, at cultivating the public mind, at purifying the national taste, at supplying true principles to popular enthusiasm and fixed aims to popular aspiration, at giving enlargement and sobriety to the ideas of the age, at facilitating the exercise of poiiticai power, and refining the intercourse of private life. It is the education which gives a man a clear conscious view of his opinions and judgments, a truth in developing them, an eloquence in expressing them, and a force in urging them. It teaches him to see things as they are, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of thought, to detect what is sophisticai, and to discard what is irrelevant. it prepares him to fill any post with credit, and to master any sub- ject with facility. -john Henry Cardinal Newman, THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY The road to wisdom? -Well, it's plain and simpie to express: Err and err and err again but less and less and less. -Piet Hein Page 22: TOP Dr. David H Smith, Dean of the College of Arts and Letters.
