College of Business Administration Neil Carothers, B. A., Ph. D. Head of the College of Business Administration LIKE all the others of its kind, Lehigh ' s College of Business Administration is a modern development. At all universities the commerce college began with a course or so in Economics. With increasing popularity these courses were organized into a separate department of economics in the Arts college. This in turn grew into a separate college, having its own staff and giving its own degree. The oldest college of this kind in the country is less than fifty years old. Lehigh ' s college of business is not yet ten years old. Beginning with a handful of students, limited quarters, and a small staff, it has grown into a college which has its own building, includes in its personnel more than one-fifth of all the student body, and offers a complete four-year curriculum in business science. It has in the past suffered somewhat from the growing pains of too rapid development, and for a time it did not attract the high quality of student it now receives. Its growth has been due at least in part to its adherence to a definite principle not recognized or followed in many other colleges. That principle declares that the purpose of a college of commerce is to train the student in fundamentals. It denies that any college can make captains of industry or business e.xecutives in the class-room, and affirms that the best undergraduate training in business is one which gives the student a knowledge of the cultural and social aspects of economic life and an understanding of the fundamentals of economics, accounting, and finance, which are basic factors in all business. It does not believe that a narrow specialization in one field of business is the best preparation for success in business life. The curriculum at Lehigh is based upon this principle. It calls for training in fundamentals. There is ample provision for specialization in accounting, finance, and other fields, but not at the expense of the more general work. The desirability of this type of curriculum is demonstrated in the growing reputation of the college, its increasing enrollment, and the character of the positions offered to its students at graduation. It is a matter of pride to its undergraduate members that the Achievement Tests of the Carnegie Foundation in May, 1928, rated Lehigh first in all the colleges of business in the state of Pennsylvania. -426Ii=-
