WEEMS Dean The School of Business and Industry, organized in 1915, is one of the oldest college schools of business in the state and one of the oldest in the South. Since its beginning, one of its major activities has been that of a service division to the other schools on the campus. Through the School of Business and Indus- try, necessary business and social science training is provided for the Schools of Agriculture, Educa- tion, Engineering, and Science. The School of Business and Industry is a profes- sional school which combines a general education an d business administration program with intensive training directly applicable to positions in the fol- lowing business fields: accounting, business admin- istration, institutional management, commercial avi- ation, industrial management, banking, merchan- dising, production management, secretarial science, public administration, economics, and journalistic administration.

SCHOOL o AGRICULTURE Training programs in the School of Agriculture have as their purpose the preparation of students for better citizenship and for more efficient farm operation, for scientific investigation in the various specialized fields of agriculture, for professional service work, for teach- ing agriculture, and for various fields of business in which a knowledge of scientific agriculture is of value. Not only does the School of Agriculture consist of eleven departments, but various programs of instruc- tion in agriculture are made more practical by com- bining field and laboratory exercises with classroom work. The resident staff of both the Experiment Station and Extension Division of the College offer valuable opportunities for students on the undergraduate and graduate level to broaden their contacts with profes- sionally trained personnel other than the regular teach- ing staff. Although many burdens of administrative duties rest on Dean Clay Lyle ' s shoulders, the students in this school know him not only as a teacher and advisor, but also as a personal friend.
