INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
Aim. The aim of the College of Arts and Sciences is to train the indi- Of th
vidual student as thoroughly as possible in the four years in the directions of Omg
his interests and powers, in order that he may lead a happy and useful life and the S
contribute his share of leadership in social, intellectual, economic, and political his (
advancement. they
The College strives to attain its purpose by imparting knowledge and by mmf
training the student in the proper methods of acquiring and using knowledge,
to the end that he may be broadly informed and skilled in the solution of class
problems, and that he may develop habits of self-reliance, initiative, judgment,
and those inner resources that lead to self-mastery and happiness.
The distinctive character of the College is that it insists on an acquain- to tl
tanceship with the main fields of intellectual interest and, in addition, as deep a
knowledge as possible in the time allotted in some one special field. While all in jc
students are trained along lines useful in various vocations, the College em-
phasizes preparation for vocations rather than in them by the building of a well- and
rounded life, rich in interest, resourceful, capable of continuous growth and of
adaptation to times and circumstances. {ess,

Admission. Requirements for admission to the College of Arts and Sei-
cnces, as a freshman, or with advanced standing, or as a special student, are
the same as those outlined on preceding pages for the University. The College,
however, recommends strongly that the student present for admission two units
of mathematics.
Freshman Advisers. Every student entering the college is assigned an Olf
academic adviser. The assignment is made on the basis of the student’s interests tm
and achievement. To minimize the possibility of the academic adviser’s con- TGC
sidering the new freshman as a major, heads of departments are not appointed Oni
as freshman advisers except where absolutely necessary. The dean of the col-  
lege appoints the academic advisers annually. pa
The adviser makes out the student’s course of study on the basis of in- en
formation supplied by the Dean’s office and by the advisee. He must be con- 3 (
