Liberal Arts Provides Wide Variety Of Majors The Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, under the direction of Dr. ,l. Kelley Sours, has two primary goals: to prepare stu- dents for further professional training and to provide the general education necessary for them to take meaningful places in communities. Over the 70-year history of Fairmount, nearly 2,000 of its graduates have gone on to advanced professional study. Of these, almost a thousand have received masters's degrees, and l72 have achieved doctorates in various fields. Beyond such professional work, many more thousands have gained distinction in their cities and states, and in the nation. They are now journalists, novelists, executives, and political office holders at every conceivable level of gov- ernment. To meet these two goals, the college offers a wide selection of majors for students. Those enrolled in the college may select any of the fol- lowing courses: American civilization, biology, chemistry, classical languages, English, geology, German, history, journalism, philosophy and religion, mathematics, physics, political science, psychology, sociology, Spanish, or speech. ln addition, a student may elect liberal arts majors in such subjects as art, music, economics, or logopedics which are ordinarily offered by other colleges within the University. Studying samples of various rocks and minerals, Geology 101 students prepare for analysis tests in their lab sections. -wrt Qu'
