Biographical / historical:

In 1961, the School of Science and General Studies formed out of several departments that were part of the School of Applied Sciences and Business [RG 12], which dissolved that year. However, some of the departments trace their roots back to the founding of the university in 1872. In 1963, the School of Science and General Studies became the School of Arts and Sciences and the next year became the College of Arts and Sciences, which dissolved in July 2003. Most of the liberal arts departments joined the newly-formed College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences [RG 48], while most of the science departments formed the College of Science [RG 47].
