COLLEGE OF BUSINESS EDUCATION The School of Business Administration offers comprehensive courses of training for men and women planning on business car¬ eers. In addition to instruction in the sub¬ ject matter of accounting, banking, finance, law, management, marketing statistics and so forth, the courses are designed to emphasize the economics principles underlying our com¬ plex civilization, to distinguish their bearing on the formulation of sound business policies, and to develop in the student a faculty of analysis and a skill in the solution of busi¬ ness problems. Because business is as broad as life itself, the business curricula include a wide range of liberal and professional courses offered in other divisions of the University. The viewpoint is managerial. On the executives of concerns throughout the busi¬ ness world have devolved responsibilities for the welfare of peoples, the importance of which has become recognized by all too few social scientists. The benefits of modern industrial organizations are apparent. Interference by political authority is fraught with danger and ulti¬ mate loss. Regulation by economic and business experts offers more hope. Through education, it may be reasonably expected that such national plagues may gradually disappear. Dean C. C. Fitchner

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE HE College of Agriculture of the Uni¬ versity of Arkansas is one of the new col¬ leges of the University. The University, as originally organized, was not divided accord¬ ing to present designations. Courses in agri¬ culture were offered almost from the open¬ ing—January 22, 1872—of the University, but the College of Agriculture was not established under its present name until 1905, twenty-eight years ago. As educational matters are reckoned, our College of Agriculture, is, therefore, only a baby. Many other states have similar colleges twice as old as ours and although our College is young it has widespread effect on our state and other states through the work of the students that have graduated. The business of the College of Agriculture does Dean Dan T. Gray not consist wholly in finding and developing young men and women for leadership in Arkansas, but that is one of its chief jobs. That the job of the developing leadership is being pursued vigorously is evidenced by the fact that the College now has approximately 150 of its grad¬ uates in positions of public leadership in Arkansas and still others have a part in the business and agricultural life of the state.
