Imbedded in the spirit of advancement and progress, the able lead- ers, who continue to guide us in many varied fields of endeavor from philosophy to chemistry and from logic to the organics, are portrayed on these pages. No department has grown to any greater height than that of the Arts and Sciences under the leadership of Dean Allen. The areas of study have been broadened and intensified, the quality of in- struction giving rise to the essence of learning. The additions of the new science building, the new library, and many new professors have extended to this department a new source of energy which can only be depleted through intellectual exercises. The purpose of the School of Arts and Sciences is to provide a broad cultural and educational experience for all students at Missis- sippi Southern College as well as to make available to them the special- ized disciplines for major and minor fields. Freshmen and sophomores, regardless of their expected majors, are assigned to Arts and Sciences for the purpose of meeting the general education or core requirements necessary for graduation. The School includes: Biology, Chemistry, English and Literature, Foreign Languages, Geography, Geology, History and Government, Journalism, Mathematics, Military Science, Physics, Religion, Philos- ophy, Sociology, and Speech Arts.
