Bedication |hen the Los Angeles Junior College, and the entire plan for this new type of college training, was merely an ideal. Dr. William H. Snyder looked for a person who could assist in planning the courses for his new educational program. He needed someone who could present our graduates to the business world. Statistics had to be collected, prospective employers interviewed, and leaders in the field questioned to arrive at the content of the courses to be offered. This person had to interest these people in this new, timely, and different educational project. Straight to this task stepped A4iss Victoria McAlmon with an early interest in this new test for education of following the pro- duct of the schools from classroom to employment. She conduc- ted vocational surveys among business and professional organiza- tions and planned the courses for various departments. From such beginnings, our occupationally-investigated courses have had the cooperation of employing groups in the placement of our gradu- ates because these men and women are interested in this project which they themselves helped to create and modify. Los Angeles Junior College is fortunate in having a staff mem- ber whose training and experience enables her to serve the insti- tution by presenting the business world to the students and the students to the business world. The staff of the Junior Campus takes pleasure in dedicating this seventh volume of our history to Miss McAlmon in recognition of her distinctive and meritorious contributions to the College.
