The Graduate School, independent of other University units, this past year was unique in that it remained comparatively unchanged at a time when other schools and colleges made distinct changes. Instead of adopting the trimester plan, the Graduate School remained on the traditional basis of two semesters and a summer session. The School’s purpose is to instruct graduates with degrees in arts, science, philosophy, or in some particular professional school of advanced studies and private research. When the graduate is given his degree he has, in addition to his liberal undergraduate instruction and an intimate knowledge of specific subjects, a thorough understanding of personal research and investigation. The degrees offered by the Graduate School include those of Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Education and Master of Science in Nursing Education. To meet the needs of war emergency, a course in Inter-American affairs was innovated in the curriculum during the summer. Its purpose was to effect amongst teachers an understanding of South American conditions for better hemispheric solidarity. School teachers were also offered a course in the organization of the Victory Corps” which has been launched in many schools for homefront war work. Another new feature this summer was the co-operative workshop in Elementary Education, held with the University of Wisconsin and Milwaukee State Teachers' College. Demonstrations of classes were given by instruc tors of all three schools. Under the auspices of the National Catholic Educational Rural Conference, the Graduate School also established an institute for educational leadership in rural life. The office of the Graduate School is located in the Administration Building on the second floor. Rev. Raphael N. Hamilton, S.J.

Training to overcome social and economic problems of the business profession is the primary aim of collegiate education for those interested in business management. For this reason the Robert A. Johnston College of Business Administration was established to supply scientihc training to the young men and women whose task will be the guidance of the more complex business enterprises resulting from industrial and commercial development and expansion. The opportunities offered in this College are designed to develop the individual's talents, and to help him in acquiring technical and professional informations, skills and techniques. During his first two years in the College, the student secures a broad foundation upon which to base the more technical courses offered in the last two years. Thus the managerial and operating points of view, so important, are stressed in the advanced courses in labor, production, marketing, finance, real estate, insurance and accounting. Rev. Thomas F. Divine, S.J. Dcjo of the College of Business Administration While the student is developing his ability to identify and solve business problems, and is seeking to adjust himself and his business practices to changing social and economic conditions, he learns the basis for sound principles of ethical conduct which are stressed throughout his various courses. The Navy, realizing the military value of business training, is well represented on the College's roll call. This year saw the graduation of the first class of NROTC cadets enrolled in the College of Business Administration. Although the war necessitated several changes in the curriculum last year, the directors are now formulating plans for postwar expansion. As head of the College, Rev. Thomas F Divine, S.J., has guided the progress of the School since September. 1942. Father Divine is also professor and head of the Department of Economics. The associate dean is Dr. Stewart S.
