Liberal Arts Claims Long Campus Tradition The orgin of Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences goes back to February 12,1892, when it was organized in Wichita as the Fair- mount Institute. Although Fairmount Institute was established as a coeducational school, Fairmount College, the title of the original charter, was designed for women only, the Vassar or Wellesley of the Ar- kansas valley and the great plains, a womanis col- lege ofthe highest rank. This Vassar of the great plains was reorgan- ized under a new charter on March 30, 1896. Its first official graduating class received their hon- ors in 1899, all seven of them. Fairmount College soon prospered and on April 24, 1926, by vote of the citizens of Wichita, was incorporated into the Municipal University of Wichita. Today, the College of Liberal Arts and Sci- ences remains as in the past, a college of ideas and tradition. Switchboard operators Alycc Hickman, Mary janzen, and Edna Bartel appear determined to trick everyone on Halloween. Dr. j. Kelly Sowards, Dean of Liberal Arts Henry Malone, Associate Dean of Liberal Art
