7lw. Y I. ls s The Place of the Fvening Division In the years from 1900 to 1010 the number of young men graduating from Boston University constantlv decreased. In the only undergraduate department the College of Liberal Arts, men seemed destined to disappear entirely, a situation so disturbing to some of the graduates that in 1910, on the call of a self-appointed committee of three, Leonard P. Ayres, Fred H. Lawton and Everett W. Lord, a meeting of men graduates was called to consider what, if anything, could be done to bring about a change. From that came the 6' More Men Club of graduates, sponsor- ing a scientific study of the problem: that study, carried on for two years, resulted in several recommendations, the most urgent being the establishment of evening courses in business administration --then a subject untouched in all New England. It was only after strenuous effort that opposition was overcome and the College of Business Administration organized, but on the evening of October 13, 1913 the first classes met, beginning that evening a course in English, one in Advertising, taught by Professor Bellattyg and one in Spanish, taught by Dean Lord, who also taught Marketing, Foreign Trade and Salesmanship. For three years the College had no full-time faculty and only evening classes were maintained: but the success of the experiment was never in doubt. Each year attendance increased, new courses were added, and confidence extended. In 1916 the Day Division was established, and has proved equally successful: but the Evening Division has all the claims of priority, as well as of numbers. It meets the greatest and most urgent need: its students have led in scholarship and its graduates in business advancement. It is not fitting for a parent to express senti- ments of favoritism, but perhaps I may be forgiven if I acknowledge a little special feeling for this first-born of my college familyka feeling which grows stronger as the activity of the student body becomes greater each year. All hail the Evening Division! wwf fx C 3 if rs, W - ' V V .- I 'iw 4 t1:.i::,N5mg:lH: 'U 'XME-fioigvjvf ,7-LSQTZI' l I'iZZ'Ag',LQ,iu,Y J' . A- -ey I' wif' if i . . . . Y J 1 Y K U 1 9 EVERETT W.
