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.

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.

EXTENSION DIVISION All the world — our campus is the new slogan adopted by Lowry Nelson, head of the Brigham Young University Extension Division. The present aim was definitely implied by the organizers who, in 1921, instituted the Ex- tension Division for the purpose of providing educational and social opportunities for those who are unable to participate in resident instruction. Two different groups of individuals are served by the department: Those who matriculate in the University and those who are benefited without formal registration. The latter are reached by the lecturers and entertainments fostered by the department and by the package library which it maintains. To the mdividual desiring University credit, a variety of well-chosen correspondence courses and extension classes is offered. With the territory represented by the 750 matriculated individuals stretching from Hawaii to Islands, it is truly no exaggeration when one says: The sun never sets on our campus.
