SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER -13, 1953 Liberal Arts The primary objective of the School of Liberal Arts is to pre pare students for intelligent and - responsible participation in. the IcOmplex, chaotic . world of the ..twentieth century. The emphasis 'is upon the general education of the student rather than upon his Vocational or pre-professional training. If this aim seems impractical, 'be assured that the impracti cality of it is more apparent than - real. As all our leading medical and law schools now realize, a : - general, liberal education deals those skills and attitudes Which underlie all the profes •:sions and vocations. Two factors are most signifi :Cant in this connection. First, Most students have different vo cations ,ultimately from those they started to prepare for as freshmen in college. And, second, all vocations, however technical ror specialized, require certain basic, liberal skills, such as the ;ability to think straight and .to •c, ommuni cafe accurately and clearly; a certain general Intel- Jectual history of the world; and 'a sense of values, such as is im plicit in the appreciation, of the „arts, in ethics, and in philosophy.

THE DAMN - COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Education It is an honor to be admitted as a freshman to the School of Education, and it is an equal honor for me to have this oppor tunity to welcome you. I hope that all of us may accept fully the responsibilities that go with Our honors. You may not be aware that scores of other high school grad uates who wanted to enter the School of Education this fall could not be admitted because we do not have enough faculty members, office space, and other facilities to provide for them. We regret that these other ap plicants could not be admitted, but we congratulate you who are with us. We shall do our best to help you to prepare for your chosen profession, and we shall expect you to succeed. Now that you are here, we hope that you will apply your time and energy to three lines of development. First of all, you should do everything possible to develop your general knowledge and skills as a mature American citizen. Second, you should deep en your scholarship in the spe cial subjects that you will later use in your life's work. Third, you should try in every way pos sible to develop the professional insights—and skills required in working effectively with indi viduals and-groups of people. A teacher or a psychologist, to be successful, must acquire in col lege as much as possible in all three of these areas of develop ment. Our faculty is ready and anxious to help you in your ef forts. We are really glad to have you with us, and we wish you the greatest possible success, both here on the campus and in your later professional life. MARION R.

The needs of industry and the armed establishments have em phasized the shortages of well trained personnel in the fields of chemistry and physics. The knowledge that you are training for professions of importance . to the welfare of the country, and in which there is a great need for competent men and women, should add to your interest and enthusiasm for the work. In connection with both their teaching and research activities the staff of the school is in close contact with the groups needing help. This cooperation serves as an inspiring influence to student and staff alike. We urge you to make the best possible use of your time while in college. You will find that your student council is working for your interests and welcomes your cooperation. GEORGE L. HALLEIL Dean Council Forms New Honorary The .newest women's hat society on campus, the as yet unnamed senior women's activities honor ary, was established last year by Hat Society Cciuncil. Twenty-four sixth and seventh semester women were tapped by the council in recognition of their 1.5 or better All-College average and active participation in one major or several minor activities. Women tapped for the new so ciety have not formerly been tapped by Cwens or Chimes. The new society was formed to cite women who became active in their junior year and who might not have attained the necessary All- College; average for eligibility for Mortar Board. The group will elect officers this fall. ti No Vacanc Frosh Women to Live In Pollock Dormitory The arrival today of approximately 675 freshman women Will begin an influx of women students that is expected to overflOw regular dormitories into additional quarters formerly occupied by men. Increased women's enrollment will necessitate using Polkiek Circle Dormitory 10 which was used in past years for men's housing. This marks the second time in three years that a men's dorm has been converted. Thompson Hall in the West Dorm area originally hdused men students. College housing capacity for women students is 2349. They are housed in' Thompson, Atherton, McAllister, Simmons, an d Mc- Elwain Halls, Grange Dormitory, Woman's Building, several cot tages, and three home economics home management cottages. To handle additional students, the College is expected to open an other home management house and will probably utilize several dormitory lounges temporarily. Mrs. Cordelia L. Hibbs, assistant to the dean of women, said it is hoped none of the extra housing units in the lounges or Pollock 10 will have to be used for more than a semester. Their occupants will be absorbed into regular dor mitories when other students drop out of school or leave for student teaching posts at the end of the first eight weeks, she said. Freshman students will be housed in Thompson, McAllister, and Atherton Hall s, Woman's CATHAUM 1.
