K ' w wa fc a . ' . ' I f .jg rjTj gi h p £2«e =ss: Dean Tisdel Jesse Hall at night COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE THE College of Arts and Science has three clearly defined purposes: (i) It teaches the basic subjects required for admission to the professional schools of Law, Medicine, Education, Journalism, and Business and Public Administration. (2) It prepares for graduate work in the various fields of research and for advanced pro- fessional work, such students as wish ultimately to become trained investigators, or to teach their specialties in colleges and universities, or to pursue the highest type of professional study. The undergraduate is not required in the College to choose any graduate, technical, or profes- sional courses, or to undertake detailed graduate problems of research, but he is expected to pur- sue a sequence of closely correlated studies leading to such an exact and comprehensive knowledge of a limited field, scientific, humanistic, or social, as will test and develop his power of protracted thinking and prepare him for professional study or original research. (3) It ofi ' ers to students who have the requisite ability and energy such a liberal education in the arts and sciences as will give them an intelligent familiarity with modern civilization, fit them for high service in the world, jKflflfl nd give them resources of the natural sciences, literary and F ' ' k philosophical studies, and the social sciences; it aims at liberty H of thought, breadth of view, and the training of the civic spirit. 15 I Bi P Dean Frederick M.

« I .. jyn i Sfe hjKP COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS OFFICERS Harriet Shellenberger Virginia Babb .... Bob Shure Paul Stablman .... President Fice-President Secretary Treasurer Harriet Shellenberger THE College of Fine Arts was organized for the purpose of making available, to the students in the University of Mis- souri and to the general public, opportunities for cultural develop- ment in the fields of the arts — music, painting, architecture, design, and applied arts. Much of this work is pursued for pro- fessional purposes to be used by graduates for the purpose of earning a living through the utilization of unusual gifts in these fields. At this same time, the arts are needed by all as a resource for finer living in whatever field of activity they may be en- gaged. Although the College of Fine Arts is the youngest division of the University of Missouri, it has contributed much to the life of the campus. Its series of faculty recitals each fall and spring; the student recitals from time to time; the series of University concerts, presenting great artists in all fields of musical activity; the oratoric performances by the University Chorus; the concerts by the University Orchestra; the concerts by the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee Clubs, and the University Band are all distinct contributions to the cultural life of the community and afford the students excellent opportunities of participating in musical performances. The out- standing event of the past year was the concert given by John McCormack, the world-famous tenor. Other attractions of the University Concert Series, fostered by the College of Fine Arts, included Vladimir Horowitz, the pianist, and Nelson Eddy, the baritone. Dean J. Thomas Quarles.

i f ki SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM OFFICERS Fielding Norton President Joseph Marston .... Vice-President Thelma Martin .... Secretary-Treasurer THE School of Journalism, oldest and largest in the world, is the embodiment of the Twentieth Century spirit of intellectual and professional advancement. Built, not as a shortcut to success in Journalism, but rather as an instrument for humanizing and widening the knowledge and viewpoint of its students, the School of Journalism has realized its aim in the thousands of graduates who now hold responsible positions on newspapers throughout the United States and the world. Both its enrollment and its prestige have grown steadily since its founding in 1908 by Walter Williams, now President of the University. Its sound and fundamental teachings cannot be better illustrated than by means of its laboratory work, which includes the publication of the Columbia Missourian, a modern daily newspaper of standard size; its weekly supplement, the Missourian Magazine; and three country weeklies. Thus students are offered a wide range of study in preparation for entering Journalism. A variety of professional background courses offers the student instruction in the three major newspaper fields — news, advertising, and business administration. The School of Journalism firmly supports any and all efforts to elevate and strengthen the profession and also acknowledges important contributions to Journalism through its annual awards for distinguished service in Journalism. By means of its annual Journalism Week, which has become famous throughout the newspaper world, and which is the signal for the gathering of hundreds of graduates and members of the profession, the School serves to unify and publish to the world of newspaper men and women the thoughts and aspirations of the profession ' s leaders.
