business administration A Enrolled in the second largest department in school, Majors in Business Administration keep the fourth floor of the Administration Building buzzing as they meet classes and laboratory schedules. Stenographic, cal- culating, statistical, secretarial, economic, and general business courses are offered with a curriculum designed to prepare students for participation in the various busi- nesses and occupations of their choice. During the year the department has entertained rep- resentatives from the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis, accounting organizations including the local C. P. A. representatives, sales and advertising specialists, region- al business leaders from Firestone, American Marketing Association, Southwestern Publishing Company and others. Student field trips have included trips to Plough, Inc., Bruce Lumber Company, Wonder Baking Company, Ford and International Harvester in Memphis as well as many of the local concerns.

James Robert Moore, A. B., M. A. Dean of Men Margaret M. Trainor, B. A., M. P. S Dean of Women and the deans These well-known people are responsible for the great undercurrents of activity which keep the col- lege operating steadily day after day. We are awed by their endless appointments, committee meetings, and their ability to accomplish so much. A trip to the Dean ' s or one of the Administration quickly solves any problems we students may have. Through the years ' associations as they take an active inter- est in our studies, extra-curricular and personal life, we realize the value thejr advice and assistance has been. We will always remember their traits of dignity, character, and service, and the good influ- ences they have been during our years at State. Jam u ean C f, M - 33462

A common sight in the Business Department is the laboratory work done in typewriting, calcula- ting machines and other subjects. The business equipment is relatively new and is being enlarged each year. Calculators, electric typewriters, a dictation and recording machine and dictaphones are a- mong the newest devices. The library collection has ad- ded approximately one hundred volumes dealing with business, economics and commercial teaching. Graduates of the Business Administration field have been highly in demand. At the end of 1952 a number of the graduates moved into finance or other responsible positions in the armed forces. All accounting majors were placed with business or accounting firms needing such trained employees. All teachers were placed in well-paying commercial positions. Economics or B. A. majors are employed in their own businesses, teaching or with some responsible firm. A number of these have received promotions, and the department has a degree of satisfaction in placing each graduating student. 21
