THE AMERICAN extends congratulations 19 Ilie School of Social Sciences and Public Affairs x. Ihe program of instruction and research in The School of Social Sciences and Puhlic Affairs is designed to lay broad foundations for the understanding of the problems of human group relationships and to develop a high standard of professional skill and technical com- petence in dealing with the control and direction of society. A considerable part of the curriculum has been developed for the benefit of persons employed in the Federal govern- ment and for those who plan to enter the service of the United States. It provides instruction also for those who expect to enter other professional and business careers in which a thorough comprehension of certain areas of the social sciences is necessary. One of the purposes of the School is the continuing education of mature students who recognize that contemporary society is changing so rapidly in its demand for professional competence and human service that advanced study is necessary if one is to keep in the forefront of his field.
