Business education began at Mar- quette in 1910 when the College of Economics including schools of Busi- ness and Iournalism was formed. The following year the Rev. George A. Deglman, S.I., arrived at Marquette and it was largely through his in- fluence that the schools were sepa- rated in 1917. In that year the busi- ness courses were more closely inte- grated and departments of commerce, accounting, and finance were formed. The school was renamed six years later as the College of Business Ad- ministration. The college gained much prestige in 1928 when it became the first Catholic member of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. The present Business Administra- tion building was completed in 1951. The design of the building, the first of its kind on campus, was simple and functional. Last September the Business Ad- ministration curriculum underwent a series of extensive changes. Greater stress was put on languages, labora- tory sciences and mathematics. The new curriculum is designed to give the Business Administration students, now numbering over 1,ooo, a wider and more liberal background.
