The school has in a short number of years grown to be one of the largest schools of the institution.

This school was established in response to the growing need for the application of broader scientific and business methods to the ex- panding development of the state ' s resources. This increase in productive power of our people n requires: (1) the widening of our markets as an outlet for our goods; (2) the improving of our methods of business management to reduce cost - - - of production and increase net incomes, and (3) for further ileveloping and improving of our system of banking and credit which is so essential to economical production. It is the main purpose of the school to give men technical training in the various sciences which underly all modern industry and agri- culture, and in the several fields of economic en- deavor outlined above, in order that our resources of all kinds may be .still better developed and the economic well-being of our people still further improved.
