A The past year has seen several marked developments in the administrative end of the University. In addition to having a new president, Miami has added another dean to the staff of officials. Harrison C. Dale, dean of the newly created School of Business, has gone about his work as chief of the school in a manner which has not belied his title. The organf ization of this new school on a going basis, the adjustment of the many details, both large and small, has been no easy task but this newest department of the University has functioned in such a way that the casual observer would think that it has been a division of the University for years. In the absence of Harvey C. Minnich, Dean of the School of Education, Dr. Jesse V. McMillan has done a very capable piece of work in directing the affairs of this rapidly expanding and changing section of the University which requires a capf able head to manage its affairs. Women's rules have seen a marked change from those of previous years. Greater privileges and more responsibility on the girls have been the main results of these changes in rules which many had felt to be obsolete for a long time. Other departments of the administration, while seeing no radical changes, have maintained the high standards set in the past. Twenty-Five

Cpening of Business School A distinguished assemblege greeted the formal opening of Miami's School of Business Adminisf tration when it was ushered in on Cctober 19, 1928. Among those present at the ceremonies were Dr. Julius Klein, Hoover's right hand man in the Department of Commerce, Mr. George Verity, president of the American Rolling Mills Company, Mr. John R. Simpson, president of the Cuba Cane Sugar Company, Mr. Spurgeon Bell, Director of the Bureau of Business Research at Chio State Uni' versity and others. A series of talks and banquets featured the opening, chief among which were addresses by Dr. Julius Klein and Dean Dale who outlined the work of the School and the general policies to be followed. The School had its beginnings in 1923 when courses in Business were offered in the Liberal Arts College, which courses were accepted as credit tof ward the A. B. degree. In 1926 the second step DEAN H- C- DALE was taken when the Board of Trustees authorized a regular course as a department of the Liberal Arts college which would lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business. Then a special committee of the Board of Trustees recommended that a separate School of Business Administration be created and in December of 1926 this action was ratified. The school was then formally opened in the fall of 1928. Last year was the first year that anyone was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business. At that time thirteen seniors had fulfilled the ref quirements. This year there are twentyfthree seniors in the school and the prospects are for a steadily growing number. The school has nine faculty members who teach courses in three departments, Business Administration, Economics, and Secretarial Studies. There are 322 students in the school of whom 286 are men.
