The department provides training for those who wish to engage in business as a life career and for those in other lines of work who feel the need for some instruction in this field. Offerings are made in accounting, finance, general business, industrial management, marketing, and secretarial administration. A number of field trips were mode by various classes in the department this year. The statistics class visited the Ohio Oil Company at Findlay, the advertising class visited the Gray Printing and Engraving establishment at Fostoria, and some classes made studies of sales and credit activities of several Toledo department stores. During the past year a representative of the Market Research Division of WLW visited the campus ancl lectured on radio and market research, a representative of the International Business Machines discussed machine accounting, a sales promotion worker with the Cooper Manufacturing Company spoke on sales procedures, and a representative of the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation spoke to members of the department. lt looks like Brown and Weaver are expecting one of Doc Cooke's famous digressions . . . You see it's simple, all you have to do is think it out says Prof. Eggiman . . . Dr. Manhart explains a statistical problem. Sorry we can't explain further.

BIGLCDGY Of outstanding importance this year in the department of biology was the founding ofa Blood Bureau by means of which blood of students was typed. This was a valuable defense effort as well as an aid to hospitals and physicians. This year also saw the extension of the campus planting program. ln i939 the trustees set aside a tract of 22 acres for the establishment of an arboretum and bird sanctuary. Roads and a large pond have been built, and a border of several thousand small trees and shrubs has been planted. Besides maintaining propagating nurseries, the department supervises the selection of plants from woods and fields, in the endeavor to ultimately have growing in one place as many native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as possible, thus forming not only a place of beauty, but a living outdoor laboratory for the study of plants and animals. Campus landscaping is under the sponsorship of this department. ln April the biology department, in cooperation with the geology, physics, and chemistry depart- ments acted as host to l6O high school science students on Science Day. Right here is the heart, explains Buzz Braithwoite to biology majors Addie Statler, Evelyn Heminger, and Betty Olsen . . . Prof. Mose ley studies tree rings, surrounded by his collections . . .

PHI ALPHA CHI BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION HONORARY Phi Alpha Chi, locally organized in l938, is a professional club for better than average stu- dents in the school of business administration who are especially interested in the field of accounting. Its purpose is the furthering of interest and the fostering of good ethics in accounting. Programs held in the Nest included reports by student members, discussions on current problems in accounting, and talks by guest speakers. Robert Bowers, an alumnus who is now a practicing accountant, was guest speaker at one of the meetings. An interesting project of this year was a study of Certified Public Accountant examina- tions which have been given for the last twelve years. The purpose of the study was to pre- pare members for taking C. P. A. examinations in the future. Hannah Blackburn, Bruce Esterly, and James Ludwick successfully passed the Civil Service examination for Junior Business Analysts at the beginning of the second semester. Bowling Green representatives, Joseph Clague and James Ludwick, attended the annual Ohio Conference of Statisticians at Columbus in the fall.
