This college is the youngest of the University group. The four-year course offered comprises two natural divisions, the first two years being devoted to the attainment of a broad cultural background and to furnish such training in the fundamental principles of business as will prepare and fit the student for the intensive analysis re- quired by the highly specialized commerce courses pursued during his final two years. The advantages of location of the school in a large industrial and commercial center makes for close contacts with actual business affairs and it is these contacts that materially assist the student in determining his particular field in the realm of modern business. The Rev. Thomas A. Egan, S. J., is Regent, and Floyd E. Walsh, A. M., B. S. C. is Dean of the College. REV. THOMAS A. EGAN, S. J. I egent Raymond Van Overschelde F. E.

WALSH T ean HE keynote of present day American busi- 2 sounded in the recent report of the President ' s Commission on Recent Economic Changes. Especially emphasized was the point that there have been no basic recent eco- nomic changes, but that business today is charact- erized by an increased tempo all along the line. Never was there greater need for enlightened leadership than at the present time. Keen competition makes demands upon every organization for greater econ- omics, greater efficiency and more effective management in every phase of business, whether merchandising, operating, or financial. The larger business organizations grow, the more dependent they necessarily become on accounting and statistical in- formation to guide them in formulating policies and handling their affairs. The young man entering business today needs as never before a broad training in the fundamental principles of economics and business administration, and at the same time a thorough working knowledge of the practical application of these prin- ciples to the various branches of industry, commerce and finance. Second only in importance to enlightened leadership in business, is the necessity for an enlightened public. This can only be assured when newspaper workers are trained in the fundamentals of journalism, super-imposed on a sound economic and social background. Floyd E. Walsh, Dean. m |fc«a»T afai« T aGT»suTf guT.iSUT au!fCMi.iSfai»gc»i«|g,ifj m [18]

Without overlooking the necessity for thorough training in the various technical procedures that are called for in the practice of dentistry, an ever increasing emphasis is being placed upon the teaching of the medical sciences as a foundation for specializing in oral work. Teaching facilities are being increased from time to time by the purchase of new equipment, and in every way the College is endeavoring to keep abreast of the times in dental education. A. H.
