Smart, Assistant Dean for Natural Sciences; Floyd J. Woodfield, Assistant Dean for General Education and Academic Advisement. The School of Arts, Letters and Science offers a comprehensive program encompassing the arts, letters, natural sciences, and social sciences. In specific disciplines or departments students prepare for professions, vocations, and other employment. In general education they gain a broad range of knowledge and deep appreciation of aesthetic values. The School has been organized to bring about a greater integration, unity and meaning to the ever growing and rapidly increasing body of knowledge. It is expected that through the School organization mutual understanding and cooperation will be increased, and that there will result a knowledge and appreciation which will transcend narrow discplinary areas. ■ Students have the opportunity in the School to obtain useful skills and specific knowledge and also to find breadth of understanding and enjoyment of culture. In its programs the School is guided by the following objectives. 1. To provide its own students and students from the other schools of the college with an opportunity for guided inquiry into the humanities, social sciences, the natural sciences and mathematics as a vital and necessary part of their education for life. 2. To offer, at the undergraduate level, appropriate specialized and professional instruction (majors and minors) in the disciplines administered within the School and to assist in the preparation of teachers. 3. To encourage and support research and other scholarly activities which will enhance instruction, improve the stature of faculty members, which will contribute to the students' knowledge of themselves and the social and natural world in which they live, and from which will come new knowledge and other contributions to society. 95
