DEAN KENNETH ANDERSON The school offers undergraduate curricula at the secondary and elementary school levels. At the secondary level, concentrated programs are available in the language arts, social studies, and science areas. Students enrolled in the curricula need no minor teaching area. Otherwise, a teaching major and minor are required. At the elementary level, an area of emphasis is elected in one of twenty-one fields. A minimum of twelve hours is required in this field over the regular requirements for the degree. The school is presided over by Dean Ken- neth E. Anderson, who became dean in 1952. Dean Anderson was recently awarded the twenty-first Science Education Recognition Award and was selected as the first chairman of the board of directors of the newly-founded National Council for Research in Education. Dean Anderson said, regarding the growth of the school, I like to think it's because we offer quality programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

School of Business by MIKE MCIWILLIAMS DEAN JAMES R. SURFACE Closer political relationships among the nations of the world can only result in a development of business on an interna- tional scale. This will require more and more persons trained in this field. Great demands are being made on our colleges and universities to educate men in business administration and to give those men a broad background in other professional fields. The K.U. School of Business has estab- lished a program that includes require- ments in English composition and litera- ture, mathematics and science, and social science and humanities, as Well as the busi- ness requirements. Besides this, the School of Business has initiated a new program of study which is conducted on the basis of classroom discus- sions of business cases. Called the Core Program, students entering the School of Business as juniors are assigned to class sections which remain together through- out the program.
