"A Liberal Arts dean should
have'an Arts and Science training
and should have lectured and con
ducted research sometime during
his career," Dean Stodda - .1 summed
up his ideal of ci Liberal Arts demi.
"But 'above all, he must know
something about many things and
must never stop learning, Why,
I'Ve only read Chaucer since I be
came dean," he confessed.
"The one thing I haven't found
cut yet is why students fear the
deans. 1 certainly wish I could
convince them to stop in once in
while and chat. I haven't bitten
anyone yet." Dean Stoddart smiled
at the reporter.
"Believe it or not, even I ”^-
member the little things and cher
ish thoughtfulness. One of my 'for
mer ag students has been sending
:ne a Christmas card every yevr
since 1911. Things like that make
life worth living."
A Liberal Arts curriculum is no
tenger entirely classical and should
be practical as well as cultural and
should include the natural sci
ences, the dean advocates.
