THE CGLLECE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE The College of Arts and Science was the first division of the University to be established, and its history is, therefore, coincident with the history of the University. Out of this College has grown in the course of time the technical and professional courses of study in the various divisions of the University, but for all of these divisions the College still teaches the funda- mental humanistic studies, social studies, natural sciences, and mathematics. Two years in the College are now required for admission to the schools of Education, Journalism, and Business Administration, and three years for entrance to the schools of Law and Mediciiie. From now on practically all the graduates in Law and Medi- cine will have previously received the A. B. degree. FREDERICK M. Trsn EL In addition to the fundamental work of the technical and professional divisions, the College of Arts and Science prepares for professional practice in such fields as chemistry, geology, creative writing, public welfare, music, art, and scholarly investigation, research, and university teaching in the various departments. The peculiar function of the College, how- ever, is to give a liberal education. Vocational and professional training alone is not sufficient for the individual who desires to take an active and an intelligent part in the life about him. With the rapidly altering character of our civil- ization, the need for broadly educated men and women grows ever more urgent. Formerly a background of general knowledge was a luxury available only to the few. To the common man some knowledge of a trade or profession was then deemed suiqicientg but today an adequate fund of general knowledge has become a necessity for every person of intelligence. In the last fifty years the theory and practice of liberal education has undergone many changes. Fifty years ago the curriculum was simple, con- sisting ofa KID discipline in a Q25 prescribed group of studies. The course of study comprised six years-two years of preparatory work and four years of college. Three degrees were offered: the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Letters and the Bachelor of Science. In the A. B. course prominence was given to the classicsiand philosophy, in the B. L. course to modern language Qincluding Englishb, history, and politi- cal economy, and in the B. S. course to modern Page 34
