...gaining preeminence, the graduate schools overwhelmed the liberal arts college. To balance the university, Harnwell provides a bigger ration of liberal arts for all undergraduates, notably those at Wharton. The liberal arts college has finally acquired an honors program and its own faculty, calling on such top scholars as Anthropologist Loren Eiseley.
