This college is a division where you can obtain a general education; where you can obtain, while exploring varied possibilities, the broad background that will help you in any occupation; or where you can obtain professional or pre-professional training for a wide range of occupations. There is more than just studying for those enr olled in this college. Besides recreation opened to everyone, these students carry on a well-rounded program of activities more or less re- lated to studies but far removed from classroom atmosphere. Students participate in drama, debate, art exhibits, journalism, and other departmental activities. Dean T. S. Kerr who has been with the University since 1924 has been very active this year in making necessary changes and adjustments in the school. Next fall will see the installation of a new non-degree curriculum for special students. This two- year general course is designed as an orientation curriculum for those students who do not intend to take a degree.
