COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Today the College of Commerce is a division of almost every important Uni- versity. A modern College of Commerce has many advantages. Courses in economics make the soundest kind of foundation on which to build a com- mercial curriculum. The aid of other schools and colleges of the University IS invaluable, not only for the opportunities for broad cultural development, but also for a wealth of immediately practical values. No independent busi- ness school con match the cultural aspects which the University background makes possible. Beginning in 1893, Ohio University was a pioneer in busi- ness education and today the College of Commerce offers a sound general training in business, the broad opfX)rtunities of a university, and ample op- portunity for specialization. The curricula in commerce has steadily ex- panded until now they include the fields of accounting, advertising, bank- ing, business law, economics, finance, labor, management, marketing, public utilities, statistics, taxation, and transportation. The college also includes the Department of Secretarial Studies which has a three-fold purpose. It emphasizes, in addition to brood culture and the fundamental principles of business and economics the technical training necessary for secretarial posi- tions, regardless of what they may be — business, private or organization. It is believed that this type of training gives students the best and broadest op- portunity to perform the secretarial duties of particular jobs, to advance in responsibility and to develop personal interests. The School of Journalism is another division of the College of Commerce. The curricula leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Journolsim include not only classroom courses, but also actual experience on the staff of a doily newspaper under the direction of news and business ex- ecutives. Classroom and laboratory courses, together with printing, photog- raphy, and advertising courses, offer an opportunity to meet the needs of those planning a writing career, busi- ness management of publications, and those desiring to unite the two inter- ests, combined with the student ' s selec- tion from journalism and allied courses in a brood cultural background. Be- cause it is desirable for business men and women to share activities and lead- ership in social, civic, governmental, and general professional life, every student in the College of Commerce takes courses in other schools and col- leges of the University to widen his scope of interest.

COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS Executive Committee of the College of Fine Arts C. C. Robinson, Director of the School of Music; L. C. Mitchell, Director of the School of Painting and Allied Arts; Robert Gotes Dawes, Director of the School of Dramatic Art. The College of Fine Arts is composed of the School of Dramatic Art, the School of Painting and Allied Arts, and the School of Music. This college strives to give a well-balanced and broad cultural education in the fine arts, therefore it requires for the degree of Bachelor of Arts a definite amount of work in the two other fine arts besides the one selected as a major. It is the only college of the University which does this. Students who are enrolled in other colleges may elect courses in this one or may complete the requirements for a major or minor. The School of Dramatic Art provides student op- portunities for participation in life situations, in addition to his training in theoretical instruction and the experimental laboratories. The student is en- abled to test his ability in every phase of theatrical and oratorical activity. The School of Painting and Allied Arts consists of these interrelated depart- ments: the Department of Design that offers training in the commercial, in- terior, costume, and constructive fields; the Department of Painting that in- structs in figure, landscape, and decorative work. Courses in art history are re- quired of all students. The School of Music provides for the student an op- portunity for study in applied subjects such as voice, piano, organ, string and wind instruments. In addition comprehensive courses in theory, history, ap- preciation and literature ore offered. The student of music is given practical experience through his participation in the periodical recitals and the musical organizations on the campus. One year ago complete courses which hove proved very successful in photography and architecture were added to the College of Fine Arts. The College of Fine Arts is under the administration of L. C. Mitchell, School of Painting and Allied Arts; Robert Gates Dawes, Di- rector, School of Dromotic Acts; Clarence C. Robinson, Director, School of Music. 24
