COLLEGE ' I --. EDUCHTION The major function of the College of Education With reference to teacher train- ing is two-fold, guidance and preparation. ln the preparation of teachers the College depends largely on the subject-matter departments of the other divisions of the University, articulating the Work of these departments for the needs of the prospective teachers and supplementing their efforts with appropriate courses of a professional nature. ln performing the guidance function the College attempts to represent the interests of the prospective teachers in all colleges of the University. While other divisions enroll students who expect to teach, the College of Education is vested with the responsibility for leadership in the University's training program, al responsibility which involves the continuous study of problems of placement and of improved articulation between college preparation and Work in the field.

SCHOOL OF LHW The School of Law in Iune, l934, will have been in existence for ten years. Its enrollment in that time has increased from seventeen students to over one hundred and ten. Such an enrollment demonstrates that there was a need in Arkansas for a University law school of the type which met the standards ot legal education laid down by the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. ' Despite the marked decrease in the income of the University, it is hoped that the requirements set by the standardizing agencies for legal education can be met in the future by the Law School of the University of Arkansas. , When the Class of l934 is graduated, ninety young men Will have received the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Of these at least seventy-tive remained in Arkansas. Since the creation of the School of Law in l924, the honor system has been in effect to some extent. But in the tall of 1933 the law students organized an honor council, composed entirely of students. For the first time they became the active force in the operation of that system, which has Worked so well in many southern institutions. Of all the advances which the School of Law has made in the past ten years, this achievement is by far the most noteworthy. Dean I. S. Waterman. -3-

y SCHOOL CF BUSINESS HDMINISTRHTION The School of Business Administration has two fundamental aims. First, curricula are organized to give students instruction in liberal arts subjects, includ- ing economics and sociology, which assist in the understanding of broad social relationships. Second, courses of training in accounting, banking and finance, marketing, statistics, management, etc., are offered for those contemplating careers in business or public administration. Since March, 1933, many rights and powers of private business have been taken over by the Federal government. Whether this assumption of control over business policy will work out to the best interest of all cannot be answered at this time. The need for trained administrators, however, is in no way diminished by this so-called social revolution, for the experiment, to be successful, requires that the govern- ment seek for posts of responsibility the most efficient and socially-minded of its citizens. Economic laws are immutable whatever be the form of social organiza- tion and government. Administration of private or public enterprise will be soundest when entrusted to persons of good judgment on the long run effects and implications of economic policy. To develop this faculty of sound judgment based on thorough analysis and straight thinking has always been the major objective of the School. Dean C. C. Ficlatner. -10..
