z 0 It is the purpose of the College of Let- ters, Arts, and Sciences to develop the social and cultural competence of the stu- dent, as well as his personal and intellectual integrity. With this in mind, a committee on reorganization under the direction of Dr. Alberl S. Raubenheimer renovated the existing plan with such success that favorable comments have come from uni- versities all over the country. Members of the reorganization commit- tee were guided by the infectious enthu- siasm of its instigator, Dean Raubenheimer. Included was Dr. Baxter, who is known for his convincing lectures about literature; Dr. Burton, scholar and writer of note; and Dr. Cooke, chairman of the scholarship committee, who knows all about scholar- ship. The other three members were Dr. Voll- rath, distinguished for his research in physics; Dr. Watt, interested in the subject of learning; and Mr. Willett, director of admissions and the collegiate St. Peter at the gate. As the largest college in the University, L.A.S. faculty members carry on a tradi- tion of fine work. Among these is an out- standing research psychologist, Dr. Met- fessell. He has been working with canaries in order to determine whether they learn to sing by observing. He is interested in the nurture and nature of the songs of canaries. An eminent physicist is Dr. Nye who has accomplished research in several fields. He has done experiments on the absorption power of cosmic rays in various minerals, the glare effects of mercury light, and the ability of man ' s two ears to detect the direction of sound.
