All freshmen and sophomores are enrolled in the University College, which is organized to give a central program of general education to all university students. In addition, during the first two years, the student takes pre-professional, professional, or elective work to meet his individual needs. A student may remain in the University College more than two years, if he wishes, exploring the possi- bilities of upper division subjects. He may, if he wishes, defer entering the upper division until he is an advanced junior, or a senior. To carry on the work of the University College a core faculty is maintained. Teachers in this faculty are em- ployed with the approval of the head of the upper division department concerned in each case, and, in cooperation with him, they may be assigned to teaching in both the upper and the lower division. Many instructors in the upper division colleges may also be assigned, on a part-time basis :to the University College for teaching in that college. The work of the University College is under the direction of an administrative board appointed annually by the President of the University. The upper division is composed of the College of Arts and Sciences, and the professional colleges and schools. The colleges and schools of the University, with their departments, are listed both in the constitution and in the University catalog. The Graduate School is administered by the Graduate Council, which consists of the Dean as ex-officio chairman, and certain members of the faculty, appointed annually by the President.

The Division. When a teaching unit is composed of two or more distinct but related subject matter fields, it may be called a division instead of a department. The division is administered by a chairman, whose responsibilities are those of the head of a department. The College. A college, composed of departments and divisions, is the unit organized for the administering of curricula in a broad area of learning. The dean of a college is its administrative head. He is responsible to the President of the University. His duties are to carry out administrative orders from the President, to enforce rules and regulations adopted by the faculty of his college, to nominate heads of departments, and to review their official actions in the performance of
