COLLEGE OF LITERATURE AND ARTS

desirable pedagogical preparation. Students who have teaching in view should in all cases consult the Dean of the College before they make up their study lists. As a rule, students who arrange their courses of study with reference to teaching particular subjects will have the preference in recommendations to positions calling for teachers of those subjects. DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT^.

ART AND DESIGN

It is the aim of the department of art and design of the University of Illinois to offer courses that will assist students in their University studies, cultivate their esthetic taste, and equip them for future art work. The department has kept pace with the growth of the University, has broadened its courses of study and has increased the number of its instructors so that it now offers many courses in drawing, painting, modeling, and design, making it possible for any University student, without additional expense, to secure valuable instruction in art. All the courses of the department are also open to special students of art. These students enjoy opportunities beyond the reach of students in the usual art school, since all of the departments of the Preparatory School and of the University are open to them without additional expense. On account of the close connection of the department of art and design with the other departments of the University, students may specialize in the artistic sides of their chosen courses of study, and students wishing to become teachers of drawing or manual training in the public schools may arrange courses to suit their individual needs.

ECONOMICS

The work in economics for undergraduates is so arranged that the student can take a continuous course for from one to three years. The courses are designed to cover as large a field as possible in the literature of the subject, and to present all disputed matters from different points of view.
