School 0 f Business The School of Business, under the direction of Dean H. C. Dale, has justified its existence as a separate department of the University this year. In October of 1928 the School Of Business Ad- ministration was formally inaugurated and Dean H. C. Dale appointed at its head. Previous to that time a special professional. business course had been offered leading to the degree of Bach- elor of Science in Business- It is not the purpose of the school to Offer highly specialized instruction in various tech- niques but rather, by emphasizing the fundamen- tals common to all. business, to lay a substantial DEAN H. C. DALE f oundation upon Which graduates of the school may build advantageously regard- less of the particular field Which they may enter.
