Cl, Business Administration Dean Bushee + • THE School of Business was established in 1925 to succeed the College of Commerce which had been organized in 1906. While the College of Com- merce was merely a department of the College of Arts and Sciences, permitting specialization in business courses and leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, the School of Business Administration is an independent school in the University, giving a two-years ' course of study in business subjects only and leading to the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration. Its requirements for admission consist of the regular fifteen high school credits and two years of college work. The purpose of the School of Business Administration is to fit ' oung men and women for the more responsible positions in the business world through a threefold training, consisting of a general education, of specialized work in business subjects, and of a social or ethical point of view. The business courses are taught by a well trained faculty of specialists. And a sufficient number of courses is offered to permit students to specialize in the following fields: General Business, Accounting, Banking and Finance, Marketing, and Secretarial Work. Although the School is still small, interest in it is rapidly increasing as is apparent in the fact that registration in the fall of 1927 showed a fifty per cent increase over the previous year. As the School enlarges a greater and greater variety of courses will be offered to meet the needs of the growing student body. The first class was graduated in June, 1927, with fourteen members, and three more received their degrees at the end of the Summer Session. The chief need of the school in the immediate future will be a building of its own, as the present accommodations in the basement of the Law Building are already greath ' o er-crowded. a Page 26 J Jic{jj A C . u Xju i C,J

, College of EdnLcation Dean Barrett ITN the first half of the 19th century, the normal school developed in America to teach teachers how to teach. The teachers who taught in the normal schools were the common-school teachers, teachers of elementary schools. The elementary schools were the people ' s schools and they were coming to be generally considered essential institutions in the republic. The high school, as a part of the public school system, and the state university had not yet become well established in America. Teachers in high school and in college were thought sufficiently prepared if they knew subject-matter. In this period the first super- intendents of city schools were appointed, commonly, on the basis of popularity or a knack of managing. It was in 1873 that the first chair of education was created in a uni ersity, and from that time to the present the con ' iction has grown that high school teachers, super ' isors, and superintendents of schools, and college teachers need professional as well as academic preparation. The University- of Colorado was among the early higher institutions to establish a chair of education for the professional training of teachers and administrative ofificers in high school and college, and in school systems, city, count - and state. From this single instructor has developed the College of Education in which those who are to enter the profession of education prepare specifically for that profession. In the suiumer session especially, moreover, and increasingly during the regular year those already engaged in teaching and administration in secondary ' and higher schools pursue courses which fit them to engage more intelligenth ' and efficiently in education as a life career.
