contains comprehensive reports from
all the major administrative officers
in the University.
With 212 persons majoring in eco-
nomics, the economics department is
rated the most popular field of con-
centration in the College of Litera-
ture, Science and the Arts, according
to the report of Registrar Ira M.
Smith. Second most popular de-
partment of concentration in history
with 201 enrollees. One hundred
forty-four persons are concentrating
in English, and the zoology depart-
ment claims 141 majors. The de-
partments of Greek, landscapear-
chitecture and religion and ethics
each have only one concentrator.
Librarian William W. Bishop re-
ported that a "decided improve-
ment has been made in the light-
ing of the Graduate Reading
Room, the first floor Study Hall,
the Medical Reading Room and
the Delivery Corridor" financed
by funds from the general main-
tenancefunds, but that "this new
lighting is not wholly satisfactory".
Librarian Bishop stated that the
library could not meet "a con-
sistent demand for longer hours
of opening in the departmental
and collegiate libraries" unless its
present budget was materially in-
creased.
li nealth.
The Christian Jensen collection of
Panish history and literature was
described by Librarian Bishop as "the
'nost important purchase of the year"
for the University Library. Num-
bering about 1,500 items, the collec-
tion gives the University for the first
time a "respectable" collection in the
important field of Danish literature.
covering most of the Danish authors
of the past two centuries and con-
Saining many works on history and
the combined curricula, according to
Dean Kraus of the literary school.
He believes that combined curicula
in law, medicine and business ad-I
ministration have almost outlived
their usefulness. "This tendency has
been corroborated by the experience
of the academic counselors, which
indicates that fewer students con-
templating these three professions
wish to enter the professional school
without having obtained the bache-
lor's degree."

Dean Edward H., Kraus of the lit-
erary school asserted in his annual
report that it was almost impossible
to overestimate the need for scholar-
ships. Citing case histories of stu-
dents who were carrying heavy bur-
dens of outside work and still main-
taining records of high scholarship,
Dean Kraus declared that "it is no
advantage to graduate brilliant stu-
dents who must proceed to Arizona
immediately after graduation be-
cause of tuberculosis". He pointed
out that "even though a rugged
constitution can withstand the
strain of four years of self-support
and study, it is still economically
wasteful to have exceptional or bril-
liant students substituting dish-
washing for hours in the library or
laboratory. To no small extent the
future of much in America is de-
pendent on the superior students in
the colleges of the country. Ability
and superiority are found just as
often anong the poor as among the
more fortunate rich. A large in-
crease in scholarship funds would
make possible a substantial invest-
ment in superior students in our
College. It is well to remember that
investment in human futures is not
subject to depressions or stock man-
ipulation.
Dean Kraus said that several aca-
demic counselors have made "vigor-
ous atteniipts" to find funds outside
the University for assisting fresh-
men and sophomores, and had suc-
ceeded in persuading a few commu-
nity service clubs to finance students
in their own towns. The efforts of
the counselors have resulted in a
thousand dollar increase in the
scholarship funds of the literary col-
lege.
Optimistic were the conclusions
registered by J. Raleigh Nelson,
eeanelor and director of foreign
students, in surveying the activi-
ties at the International Center
during 1939-40. A spirit of good
will among the foreign students
was somehow achieved, he noted,
despite the animosities which
might have naturally arisen from
the war situation, and he observed
that they were regarded as an
"important. and integral element
in our university life", not as
aliens and strangers.
Counselor Nelson reported a
large increase of students from
Latin America, stating . that this
was due to the establishment of
exchange scholarships with Brazil
