COLLEGE OE ARTS - CIE CE The College of Arts and Sciences, under the guidance of Dean Andrew J. Townsend, aims to provide its students with a background of knowledge and interest in the chief fields of human thought and achievement, so as to make for more adequate living in their professional or business lives, in their leisure time, and in their civic responsibilities. In the first two years there is a period of introduction to the broad fields with which the educated person should be acquainted: in it one required course gives tool', knowledge in the use of the English language, and others deal with the social and physical sciences and humanities. In the last two years, more specialized courses are pur- sued, although there is ample room for elective subjects. In addition to the general work of the col- lege, facilities are provided for the pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-law work. These may be completed in two or three years, or the courses may be included in four year programs leading to degrees. A four year program is offered in Home Economics, also a five year program in Nursing Education in affiliation with a local hospital. Under a Personnel Director, an attempt is made to aid each student in orienting himself to his college life, in selecting his college pro- gram wisely, and in choosing his vocation in- telligently. Each student is urged to participate in intramural or inter-collegiate athletics and in at least one of the many clubs of the Uni- versity. 4 DR. ANDREW J. TOWNSEND DR. ANDREW J.

The College of Business Administration of the University of Toledo. established in 1930, is an integral part of one of the three municipal universities of Ohio. While its program is essentially professional in character. it emphasizes a fundamental back- ground in the liberal arts. Furthermore, its work is so co-ordinated with that of other col- leges of the University that students enrolled have the advantages not only of the specialized business curriculum. but also of the weIl-es- tablished courses offered in arts. sciences, edu- cation. engineering and law. During the past year the faculty has re- vised both its curriculum and course contents to emphasize training for management and opera- tion of our economy in the post-war period.
