COLLEGE OF EDUCATICDN DEAN J. W. NORMAN Mercer University, '06 QAB., M.A., Ph.D.J When the University of Florida was established by the Buckman Act in 1905, a normal department was provided in the College of Arts and Sciences for the purpose of training teachers. The Teachers College was established as a separate school in 1913 with the completion of a new building given the University by the Peabody Education Board. The name was changed to the College of Education two years ago. J. W. Norman has ably served as dean since 1920. Dean Norman succeeded Harvey W. Cox, now President of Emory University. The main purpose of the College of Education is to furnish such training as will be most useful to its students in the profession of teaching. It is the policy of the college, empha- sized on many occasions, that its graduates shall know much about the subjects they expect to teach, but it is equally as important that they should be resourceful in teaching a class and skillful in managing a school, or a system of schools. This college attempts to give both kinds of training. More specifically, it prepares its students for positions as teachers, prin- cipals, supervisors and county or city superintendents of public instruction. It strives also to develop in its students a keen insight into human affairs, human relationships, and human problems. About one-fourth of a student's time is devoted to professional subjects in edu- cation, the other three-fourths to academic subjects. Through the courtesy of the public school authorities of Gainesville, opportunity for first- hand educational investigation as well as student-teaching and observation under supervi- sion has been provided. The faculty of the College of Education now anticipates the opening in the fall of its own fine new Demonstration School, now nearly completed.

COLLEGE OF LAW DEAN H. R. TRUSLER University of Micliigan, '06 fLL.B., A.M.j The College of Law of the University of Florida was founded in 1909. In the twenty-four years since its inception it has grown most rapidly under the able leadership of Dean Harry R. Trusler. It is one of the strongest law schools in this section of the United States and is fully accredited. The faculty is composed of seven full-time professors, each of whom is outstanding in his particular field. Several have written books which are recognized by the entire legal profession as works of great merit, and which are used in many law schools and law ofiices throughout the country. The Library of the College of Law contains thousands of volumes which are essential to the student in his persuance of legal knowledge, as well as volumes of rare value and historical importance. Always a leader in attaining new scholastic heights, the College of Law this year takes a most progressive step. Beginning September, 1933, the College will require for admis- sion an academic degree or the fulfillment of all academic requirements therefor in a com- bined course at the University of Florida. The College of Law becomes the first institution in the South and the sixteenth in the United States to adopt so high an admission require- ment. Last year the law school, in attendance, ranked fourth in the South, and twelfth among all state university law schools. Last summer its enrollment stood third in the South, and eighth nationally. During its years of existence the law school has had, including sum- mer sessions, 675 graduates. The law school numbers among its graduates many of the prominent men of the state. Many have been honored by judicial ofiice, others have served in the state legislature, while many are prominent in other fields of business. The Col- lege of Law is easily one the state's greatest assets, and one of which all of Florida is justly proud.

l CCJMMERCE AND JOURNALISM DEAN WALTER J. MATHERLY William Jewel College, '13 QAB., M..4.p The College of Commerce and Journalism had its beginning in 1925, when it was established as a I school in the College of Arts and Sciences. Out of J this unit was created the present separate college in 1927. Walter J. Matherly was named dean, and DEAN MATHERLY under his capable leadership it has grown to be the second largest unit of the University. The College offers instruction in two distinct fields, business administration and jour- nalism. The former is designed to provide analysis of the basic principles of business. Those who enter this field must understand the economic organization of society and the fundamental elements of management, must develop facility in the use of quantitative in- struments in the determination of policy and recognize the relationships between business leadership and social well-being. The business administration curriculum is designed to direct attention to these phases. Instruction in journalism proceeds upon the belief that the press is a social institution, and that the increasing appreciation of its functions creates a demand for thorough prep- aration, educationally, ethically and technically, for journalistic endeavor. The purpose of this instruction is to help develop such abilities of future newspaper workers as may lend assistance to solving the increasingly difficult problems encountered by the press.
