ARTS AN SCIE CES Aiming to give its students a general background of knowledge and interest, the College of Arts and Sciences in the first two years offers an introduction to the broad fields with which the educated person should be acquainted. ln the last two years, more specialized courses are pursued, although there is opportunity for elective subjects. ln addition to the general work of the college, pre-medical, pre-dental and pre-law work is available. A four-year program is offered in home economics, and courses in art, taken in cooperation with the Toledo Museum of Art, may be applied toward a major or minor, or may be used as individual courses toward a degree. Courses in journalism, speech, dramatics and social work also are included in the curriculum of the college. Last September eight new members of the University faculty met classes in this college for the first time. H. L. Allen, Morlin li. Bell, Stanley T. Donner, Raymond King, Dr. Archie N. Solberg, and Fred Stalcup were six of the eight. The other men, Dr. George F. Baker and Dr. lilmon L. Cataline, are in the newly created College of Pharmacy, of which Dr. Baker is the dean. Several members of the faculty in this college spent last summer in Europe. Dr. James G. Southworth visited England in search of material for a book and Mrs. Jessie Dowd Stafford also was in Great Britain, visiting the rural sections to study the habits of the English people. Frank XY. Klacliavey spent most of his time studying advanced French at Toulouse. Mr. Donner was in l-Iurojfe, and Clara E. Goehrke again took her annual trip to Germany. George F. livans and Charlotte Ruegger also returned to classes after trips abroad. The visitors said a custom that is becoming popular here was common in Europe, where bicyclists visited beauty spots with cameras. 2U '2 1Q'2'2 AOA-in 'Plan

LIBRA what is probably the most complete collection of books in this highly specialized field in North- western Ohio. It is the ambition of Mr. and Mrs. Cotter to have this collection exhaustive for its subject and to this end they will continue to make addition of notable titles from time to time. During the past two years, more than 15,000 volumes of books and magazines have been bound by the XV. P. A. bookbinding project. ln addition to these, more than 21,000 volumes have been cleaned and repaired. Other important work done on the same project has included the mounting of 110 maps and many pictures, the making of filing boxes, and clerical assistance which has increased the general efficiency of the library. The main Reading Room on the fifth floor of University Hall can well be considered the heart of the institution . For in it, more students have gathered more often than in any other spot on the campus. XYho can estimate the inspiration which these students have re- ceived from hours spent with books in this room? No University can be greater than its library. lf library growth is retarded for any reason, the entire University is immediately affected by a season of curtailed development. The truth of these statements has been recognized by all educational accrediting associations regard- less of the field of knowledge involved. The one department which is never omitted from an examination of a University's resources is the library. Fortunately, the University administration has recognized the importance of its library and has done much to improve conditions. There is much still to be done before the University of Toledo Library can rank with the libraries of older institutions, but the following figures are evidence of the interest being taken in it. The University Library now owns more than 50,000 volumes of books, some 50,000 pamphlets tiunboundb and numbers 657 different titles in its periodical collection tboth bound and unboundj including current subscriptions.
