Dean Walsh a plaque on the Founders Da) ban- quet last Dec. 4. By I9 ' .y. it was seen fit to organize a sep- arate school of journalism. With this break in afliiialions the commerce school now devot- ed full allcnlioii to courses preparing the stu- dent for l)usiness fields. The success attended the commerce school in carrying out its program is indicated by a provisional associate membership in the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. This position has been merited by providing students with a sound background f »r a life in the commercial world. In securing this background the student first devotes two years to fundamental studies before concentrating during his junior and senior years on such majors as accounting, economics and management. Integrated with the classroom work are laboratory exccrises and lectures by prominent businessmen. The past year saw the reactivation of evening courses in business administration. After 22 years of existence these courses had been dropped in 1942 due to the urgencies of another war. High quality education is once more the aim of the evening school. With an educational ideal promoting a train- ing for life as well as for earning a living the College of Commerce fills a vital spot in the world ' s educational pattern. It prepares its stu- dents not only for business but also for the business of living. 21
