(One of the oldest and most pointless classes in Mizzou history - elocution!)

Congratulations. You're going to college so you can... wait, what are you doing here? It's no secret that if you're undecided or if you just wanted to go to college that you ended up in A & S. That's not to say there aren't serious students in A & S, but there are definitely a mass amount of people getting a degree in... going to school. Hooray! What better way to thank you for shelling out thousands to make up your mind than to give you some free money, too?

Last week was A & S week, where more than 200 students were awarded over $100,000 in scholarship money. It's the biggest amount ever to be awarded to students in Mizzou's history.

Said Ted Tarkow, associate dean of A & S before the event: “We will be celebrating the careers of four terrific pioneers in their own fields, while focusing on students who will someday become pioneers in their own ways."

Translation: thanks for coming to Mizzou to pursue random interests, we want to encourage you to stay here and give more money to the University.
