"Loyalty to the father land Is commendable but loyalty to the hu-'' man spirit ls even better," Dr. Clark said in closing.

L A S. Head Plans Change | In Program
New Study Curriculum Becomes Effective al S. C. Fall Semester
With the opening of the tall semester tn September the revised Letters. Arts, and Sciences curriculum will go into effect, according to Dr. Albert S Raubenheimer. I chairman of the reorganization plan and Dean of thr College of Let-; ters. Arts, and Sciences.
The three main objectives of the j progiam wllj be: to effect a division of the student’s undergraduate work hi two two-year periods; the lower division (freshmen and sophomorei curriculum and the upper division (junior and senior) curriculum; to give the student an op-1 portunlty to set up either a Division or a Department major in; his upper-division years; to lnsti-l tute a special Honors Program for j which the superior scholar with a j 20 average or better can qualify ln his third and fourth years.
The committee hopes, by the plan, to bring about a consolidation and a simplification of the basic «ber-al arts courses of the first two years (in the humanities, sciences, j and arts) into five fundamental J course groups: “The Development| of Man and His Culture." “The! General Principles of the Sciences.” the "Appreciation of Art and Mu-; sic,” these courses to be taken ln j addition to work in English, foreign i languages, and physical hygiene,
In the second case, the commit- j tee seeks, by thc rearrangement of the departments of the college Into six upper class divisions (Let - j ters. Social studies. Biological sciences. Physical sciences and Mathematics. the Arts, and Health, \ Physical Education and Education), to enable the student who has ful- 1 filled the requirements of his two! Introductory years to formulate a broad major in a Division or an in- j tensified major ln a Department.
A third provision is made for the encouragement of exceptional schol- j arship on the part of the superior student with the creation of an Honors program which the student] of distinction and serious purpose can enter in his junior year. The Honors student will be required to attend only eight term hours of classwork each semester, and in addition wilt undertake a directed j program of intensive reading ln the Division or Department which he has elected as his major
Both old and new students will | be able to take advantage of thc changed program.
President Aids Growth Of University
President’s Task To Integrate and Expand Schools and Colleges
An educational statesman, a builder oj men and institutions, and a gentleman who loves kolh O od and hit jclluw men."
By W. BALLENTINE HENLEY
These are the words one author uses to .describe Dr. Rufus B von KleinSmid, President of the University of Southern California. Almost two decades ago, the University of Southern California faced a crisis. The Board of Trustees was called upon to elect a new President, and on their election rested the fate ol a rather small denominational college. In 1921 the University occupied the Old College building, the original of thc University now housing the School of Music, and several wooden structures located on fourteen acres of land. The Administration building had Just beep completed.
Under Dr. von KleinSmid s leadership the University has grown from a rather small institution of eight colleges to a University of twenty-four Schools and Colleges located on forty-six acres of land in the heart of a great metropolitan area, with $10,000,000 worth of buildings, staffed by approximately seven hundred faculty members and approximately two hundred administrative assistants. To add to this the University emerges from one of the greatest economic crises in the history of the nation without a debt, and stands upon the threshold of what promises to be one ol the largest building programs of its existence.
The phenomenal growth of the last two decades can be explained by the caliber of the University's leadership The President has had wide educational experiences, running the gamut of responsibilities from an ungraded, mid-western, one-room country school to Uie Presidency of a world renowned University.
He was born at Sandwich. Illinois, and after completing his preparatory training at Oberlin Academy tn Ohio, he spent a year as a travelling student in Europe, re-Continued on page four
