CUTLER Dean of the School of Applied Social Sciences HE School of Applied Social Sciences is the lirst of its kind ever established within an American university. It was founded in 1916 by a unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees as the result of a peti- tion addressed to them some three years earlier by a committee representing social and civic organiza- tions of Cleveland. The need expressed in this petition became the aim of the School: to provide practical training for social service by combining specialized graduate study with actual Held work. In the first tive years, only two courses, Public llfealth Nursing and Family Case Work, were of- fered by the School. ln 1921, the course in Child XYelfare was begun, and in 1923,-one in Group Science. At the present time, plans are being made for a course in .Public Administration, which will probably be added to the curriculum next fall. In the decade of its existence, 'the number of students has increased from thirty-live the hrst year to one hundred seventy-seven at present. The School of Applied Social Sciences is one of the three professional graduate schools of the Uni- versity. 'l.'herefore, a full college course, with specialization in the social sciences, is required of all candidates for the Masters degree which the School confers. However, special students may be admitted to courses in which they are interested. l l l Z A' 'T 1,4105 E 9 5 3 1 i f? ff di , fd 5 1 Tiff we f e .H 'l 'mm' I 'ull' 5 ,fu . , ...... ., , , ,. . f 1- -1- ' : ' Pagr lem-1zf3.,!,lym FJELLA Wig-7,fQ: ...- -hlwk'

A sos r' X GradluateuSchool N 1892, four students registered in the newly founded Graduate School of VVestern Reserve University. In 1925, the enrollment numbered one i hundred six, and in the fall of 1926, two hundred l lifty-nine students matriculated. In order to better accomplish its purpose of acl- vancing research and training teachers, the school has been reorganized within the past year. lt now has a teaching staff composed of twenty members of the university faculty, nine of the School of Edu- cation, and two graduate professors, and olters training for the higher degrees in a wide variety of fields. The studies are conducted chiefly by the seminars, laboratories, and library research courses in education, chemistry, and history. The school is dependent upon tuition and the support ot the t other departments of the University, since it has as yet no endowment. Close cooperation, not only with the colleges and professional schools of VVestern Reserve, but also with the educational and scientific organizations of Cleveland makes possible extensive research work. Under the new plan, the public health, social ser- vice, and educational organizations of the city, the Museum of Natural History, the Reserve Histori- cal Society, the Public Library, and various indus- trial plants are utilized as laboratories 'for study, and will share the benefits of research.
