COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS Although Young University has always given liberal support to cultural phases of education, it was not until 1926 that a separate college of Fine Arts was organized. It is the aim of this division to meet the demands of those whose interests and talents lead them into this field. That the department is succeeding is seen in the steadily increasing en- rollment. In 1926 — the year of its appearance, ten students were graduated from the college. The number increased in 1927 to sixteen and from the maximum enrollment in 1927-28, the number receiving degrees is estimated as doubling the first year ' s record. The work of the college has been excellently directed by Dean Gerrit De Jong, Jr., whose varied talents and broad experience extended by foreign travel and study, have proved valuable assets.

Christen Jensen Dean His sincerity, interest and ability have made himan excellent COLLEGE OF APPLIED SCIENCE If the written history of the College of Applied Science depended upon the members of the college, the true worth of this department would probably never be heard. Such diligent doing and natural reticence is seldom found. Established in 1922, the College of Applied Science is next to the youngest in the institution. That it is keeping pace with the rapid growth of the University is readily seen when one compares the first year ' s graduates, ten in number, with the twenty-nine graduated in 1927. Emphasis in this college is given to science and its application to practical professions such as farm, home, and shop. Under Dean Christen Jensen, the develop- ment of this division has been quiet but rapid, supervisor and advisor. Front Row — Hilda Kniidson, Christen Jensen, Franklin S. Harris, Geo. II.

COLLEGE OF COMMERCE AND BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Although the College of Commerce and Business Administration does not rule against women, it has had a strikingly low number in its graduating classes. In 1927, the sixth year after its organization, the department boasted one feminine graduate. The growth of this college from ninety- six students in 1921 to two hundred twenty-seven in 1927, illustrates conclusively the fact that students are realizing the obvious advantage of better training before competing in the specialized business world. The College aims to equip the individual for leadership in finance and industry by giving him a thorough knowledge of commercial problems as well as practice in business admmistration. Harrison V. Hoyt Dean Harrison V. Hoyt, in addition to academic training, has had valuable practical experience in the work and thoroughly understands the requirements and purpose of the college which he supervises. Front Row — Ed.
