Classes in Secretarial Training are an important part of the business school curricula-m. BUSI ESS Taking over the responsibilities of the School of Business this year is Dr. James R. Surface. Dean Surface, who was formerly professor of business administration at the Harvard Business School, succeeds Dr. Leonard H. Axe. Dr. Axe left Kansas University to become president of Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg. Dr. Surface graduated from K.U. in 1942, and re- ceived the M.A. degree in political science in 1948. K.U. has an outstanding School of Business. Students are offered a curriculum designed to give them extensive training in basic business studies as well as an understanding of human re- lations and management problems. Two new courses have been added to the curriculum. These are Management Problems of Transportation In- dustry and Introduction to High Speed Data Processing. The School of Business is looking toward the future with plans for their new building which is expected to be occupied by the fall of 1959. mal? 5 INCUNE SUUREEE

Education The School of Education is one of the busiest schools on the campus, for it is engaged not only in training its 670 undergraduates in the tech- niques of teaching, but also in providing services for all students of the university. These services include the Reading and Study Skills Clinic and the Guidance Bureau Where students can find their aptitudes through testing. The education students are, of course, not for- gotten. They attend classes in newly-remodeled, excellently-equipped Bailey Hall with the bonus advantage of air-conditioning. After they com- plete requirements for their degrees, the Teacher's Placement Bureau is on hand to help them find desirable positions. Directing these and many other activities of the School of Education is Dean Kenneth E. Anderson who has served in his present capacity since 195 3. john Bowers explains the fine points of the ancient Greeks to Lawrence High School students, during a practice teaching session. we rl Hr Cecil Williams, a psychometrist in the Guidance monitoring a Wfeschler-Bellvue Test-whatever Marilyn Shaw, student in art education, gets practical experience with Lawrence's younger

Hello there -Richard Leon Davis studying surface tension-the device is a ring tensiometer. This suspicious looking endeavor is a highly scientific piece of work being done by Ar- nold Kash and Dale Erikson, two promi- nent petroleum engineering stndents. What appears to be a butter churn is really a Bottom Hole Temperature Calibration Rod . Engineering Dr. John S. McNown, the new dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture and a K.U. graduate of 1936, returned to Kansas last summer after having established an international reputation for his work in fluid mechanics. Dean McNown, who recently was professor of engi- neering mechanics at the University of Michigan, replaces Dean T. DeWitt Carr, who retired in the spring of 1957. The enrollment of 2,324, which is more than one-fourth of the students enrolled at Kansas University, makes the School of Engineering and Architecture the second largest division of K.U. These students receive a thorough fundamen- tal training in the physical and mathematical sciences and are trained to deal with industrial problems as well. There are twelve fields in which future engineers and architects can earn degrees: Aeronautical, Architectural, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Geological, Mechanical, Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineering, as well as Architecture and Engineering Physics. This year, for the first time, courses in nuclear engineering will be offered. In addition to the many fully accredited undergraduate curricula, graduate programs in engineering are offered at both the Lawrence and the Kansas City QMedi- cal Centerj campuses. f ,. .
