BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION E. J. Professor Fewkes This has been a noteworthy year for the College of Business Administration for a number of reasons. First and foremost perhaps has been a substantial revision of the curricular offerings in the college. These changes will pro- vide considerably more flexibility and choice for the student in both liberal arts courses as well as business courses. Both faculty and students were consulted regarding these changes and it is hoped they will result in a standardized program that will be in effect for a number of years. Substantial efforts are being made toward the goal of making the College of Business an important factor in business education nationally. New faculty with only the highest credentials are being added at a rapid rate, and the ratio of full-time to part-time faculty members has increased markedly. In the past year research activities in the College of Business Administration reached a new high and the first publication of its Research J ournal took place. Research was not only limited to contract research and faculty research but a significant experiment in teaching technique was tried on the Madison Campus. An integrated course in Advanced Business Management utilizing extensive readings and a tutorial type of instruction was used. The Graduate School of Business Administration started its first program of full-time day classes with approximately an enrollment of 25 students. There seems little doubt that this program will burgeon as many undergraduates realize the extensive values of the Masteris degree. Not an unimportant phase of the College of Business Administrationis activities are its many institutes and sem- inars that are available to the general public, the business community and, of course, our own students. Of special note was the appearance of a United States Senator, a State Treas- urer, an important member of the Governors Department of Economic Conservation, and one of the country,s foremost city planners at an institute on community problems. Activity lihighlightsii depend mainly on the viewers position and it would indeed be difficult to itemize the widespread facets of the programming of the College of Business Administration. The activities presented above represent a sample cross section of the work of the College of Business Administration.
