All courses now lead toward four years of work-to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Business, Secretarial Science, Business Education, or Journalism. Q 7 9 0 7 ' HE College of Business Administration is Q 5 ' The high school record of each applicant for admission has been more carefully examined than in the past years. This means a better prepared first-year student. The fifth year of the college has been notable for the fact that the work of the students has been more uniformly excellent than in the past years. It has also been notable for the good - spirit which the students have had among themselves and toward the faculty and admini- stration. It is the expectation that the college will have few changes in the immediate future. The college as a whole expects in the immediate future to have the same courses, the same organization, the same working force and the same sympathetic spirit among students and faculty.

Q Q Q Q 0 4 Art has been both sane and steady. At the beginning the problem was first, to meet the speech needs of the University, and second, to meet the constant demand for professional training in the speech arts. That the problem is being solved is amply attested by the scope and variety of the courses and by the increasing number of students knocking at the doors for admission. During the past year courses Were given in twelve of the fifteen schools and colleges in addition to the regular work of the Oratory School. Nor has service been confined with- in the University. Churches, schools, hospitals, and social centers have been visited by many readers, entertainers and story tellers from the School of Oratory. While the debating activities are a University matter, the direction of the work falls naturally among the duties of this school.

S. in Library Science. The gratifying increase in registration in September of this year for Library School courses indicates a growing appreciation of the value of the training both on the part of individuals and the institutions which they serve.

The Class of 1923 was Widely distributed geographi- cally and in positions of responsibility in state libraries, normal schools, colleges and public libraries.
