Dean Robert C. Line SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The School of Business Administration was hrst organized at the State University in 1914 by a member of the business ofhce. Since then the en- rollment has increased to rank the school among the largest on the campus. This year, the school, under the direction of Dean R. C. Line, added a new feature to its activities in the form of a Forum at which faculty and business men combined to discuss current business problems. The plan was so successful that it will be continued next year. Various studies as to the cost of living in Missoula were also sponsored by the school. These included detailed analysis of Missoula in relation to the entire country. The typing fee has been greatly reduced this year in order that more students may take the course. Mrs. Brena XVilson has joined the teaching staff as instructor in typing and shorthand, and Mrs. Frank Thomas has done work in the accounting labora- tories. A special course in Principles of Organization and Management is conducted by I. B. Speer, Reg- istrar. The Commerce club was re-organized this year to include students elected on a basis of scholarship and activity in the department. Membership into Alpha Kappa Psi, men's national professional fraternity, is honorary. I23l
