The College of Business Administration ' T HE College of Business Administration is a rather recent addition to the - - University, and, unhampered by Tradition, it has advanced phenomenally. Like similar colleges in other universities, it was started on small but solid founda- tions; its growth has made it an integral part of the Universitv. Formerly a staff of three men instructed approximately one hundred students; up to the present time, both the staff and enrollment have more than tripled. Though the Business College as such is of recent origin, sound business in- struction was provided with the creation of the University. Courses in economics were included in the curricula of the College of Engineering and the School of General Literature for both practical and cultural purposes. The popularity of these courses formed a basis for an increase in the number offered. The demand finally became great enough to make the College of Business Administration a practicable project. From the creation of the College great difficulties, including inadequate housing and the lack of prestige which usually accompanies the new, forced consideration. To date the housing situation has been materially relieved, and the rapid progress made in the quallt • of instruction has been paralleled by as rapid a growth in pres- tige. In general, the plan of the College is to give the student of business relations a wide cultural education as well as a sound instruction in the fundamentals of business and economics. Emphasis is placed on the general education rather than on a narrow specialization in business training alone, for it is felt that an all around education and an instruction in the basic principles of economics is the best preparation for a business life. The exceptional high standing of the College in the recent Carnegie tests, the demand for graduates hv large concerns, and the successes which these graduates experience in business life all indicate the gratifying success of the College of Business Administration. 32 p '

Harry Maas Ullmann A.B., Ph.D. Head of tht Dtpartmtnt o, Chemistry and Chimicul Engineering The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering To a record of acknowledged achievement the Department of Chemistry and Chemical En- gineering adds yearly growth. Chemistry and Chemical Engineering have to do particularly with a knowledge of changes in composition which sub- stances can undergo, and the ability to direct these changes into channels which may be of greatest interest and benefit. A wide training in chemical principles is fundamental in this special activity, with an added industrial knowledge of machines and methods of applying fundamental principles. The Chemical Engineering Laboratories are accordingly outfitted with machines and apparatus for carrying the science of Chemistry into active practice. During the past year, noteworthy additions of large pieces of manufacturing apparatus have been made in Chemical Engineering Laboratory No. 2 in the W. A. Wilbur Engineering Laboratory. Beyond the resources on the University campus, students under proper guidance avail themselves of the oppor- tunity to study Chemical Engineering Practice in the nearby plants of the Bethlehem Steel Company, the Portland Cement Company and the Klew Jersey Zinc Company. Visits are made to more remote plants in the Philadelphia and New York Districts. Many graduates of the Department go forward to higher degrees with scientific or industrial study and research. The Department carries a considerable number of post-graduate students, some of them under Research Fellowships in industries. Among these Fellowships are those of the Archer-Daniels-Midland Company in linseed and other drying oils, the Hunt-Rankin Leather Company in leather, the New Jersey Zinc Company in protective coatings, the Eavenson-Levering Company in wool, the Lehigh Institute of Research in X-Ray analysis, the Freshman Student Chemistry Foundation Fellowships in constants of physical chemistry and colloids.
