INDEX 263-270 UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 272 iv UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT AND STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Educational Opportunities The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College aims to provide for qualified young men and women the opportunity to acquire an understanding and appreciation of the main fields of human knowledge, to develop those qualities of mind and character which will enable them to assume responsible leadership among their fellow men, and to lay the foundations for successful careers. In the process of achieving these aims, the University believes that a student will grow in self-mastery and personal depth, will learn to reason logically, and will develop open-mindedness and tolerance toward the opinion of others. The instructional activities of the University are organized under four colleges—Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Medicine, and Technology; the School of Education and Nursing; and the Graduate Council. Within these six instructional divisions, students may select from a wide variety of curricula. THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The College of Arts and Sciences provides a general liberal four-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, with opportunity for concentration in one or more of the following departments: Botany, Chemistry, Economics, English, Geology, German, Greek, History, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Romance Languages (French and Spanish), and Zoology. It also offers a four-year professional curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. All pre-professional requirements for admission to colleges of medicine, dentistry, law, and theology may be met in the College of Arts and Sci­ ences by a proper selection of electives. Those who have completed three years of pre-medical study at the University are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science after successfully completing one year of study in an approved college of medicine. 1 2 Educational Opportunities THE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY The Gollege of Technology offers four-year curricula leading to the degree of Bachelor of
