ART DEPARTMENT-DII. MARQUES E. REITZEL. The Art Depart- ment for years was located in the Home Economics Building, and trained students for the teaching field only. It moved to the present Art Building because of need for more room and now trains students in Commercial Art, Fine Arts, Interior Decoration, and Teacher Training objectives. Students have won prizes and honors in national competitions, as well as in the State of California. COMMERCE DEPARTMENT-DR. EARL W. ATKINSON. The Com- merce Department of San ,lose State has been growing by leaps and bounds for the past few years. Our biggest problem is finding room space for the class enrollment at present is over 4,000, and we have a faculty of 20 in- structors. Of our 1,500 majors in the department, the largest group is majoring in business administration, followed by accounting, merchandising, and secretarial majors. EDUCATION DEPARTMENT-DR. WILLIAM G.
