BUSINESS SCHOOL Top to bottom: Evans, Garner, Walls. The School of Business is made up of the departments of Business Administration, Economics and Sociology, and Government and History. This school began of- fering four-year courses of collegiate grade in Busi- ness in 191 S — the first in the state and one of the first in the South. From the beginning, Mississippi State College has offered business training to its students. Over twenty years ago it became apparent that alongside the prob- lems of expert production in agriculture and engi- neering were developing serious problems arising from inefficiencies in methods of distribution. The farmer and the engineer needed not only to know how to produce, but also how to market their products. Hence the demand came for increased business train- ing for leadership in these fields, and courses to that end were established. Out of these courses naturally grew the four-year curricula. The School now offers full four-year courses in Accounting, Finance, Insurance, Merchandising, Man- agement, Public Administration, Commercial Avia- tion and Secretarial Work.

SCIENCE SCHOOL The School of Science has advanced forward in many ways since it was organized in 1903. Under the capable leadership of Dr. Hand, who has been connected with the college since the eighteen hundreds, this school has been greatly improved. This school permits the planning of four-year courses of major study in physical science and mathematics, biological science, social studies and many courses to serve definite purposes. In addition to the courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, the privilege of choice permits the arrange- ment of shorter courses with special objectives, as, for example, Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, and other courses.

EDUCATION SCHOOL The School of Education, organized in 193 6, offers courses in the following fields, Agricultural Education, General Educa- tion, Industrial Education, and Physical Education and Coaching. Careful consideration is given both to those preparing to teach and to the improvement of the teaching of those already in service.

The School of Education gives careful consideration to the social and economic needs in Mississippi and proposes to train high school teachers who will contribute very definitely to the social and economic welfare of the State.
