NISTRATIO OUR SCHOOL OF Music was one of the first of its kind in the country, having been organized as a separate school in 1895. This school offers a curriculum which gives the student a liberal university education as well as a sound musical education. The school confers degrees of Bachelor of Music, Music Education, and Master of Music. Music is taught both as an element of general culture and as an individual ac- complishment. The courses offered are designed to train students as per- formers, composers, theorists, teachers, or critics. Through the cooperation of the Carnegie Corporation of New York City, a Department of Church and Choral Music is maintained. This course of study includes all those fundamental branches of theoretical and applied music essential to a thor- ough musicianship, as well as a comprehensive survey of church and choral music. Visiting other schools of music and seeing what they do is of particular interest to Dean john Walter Beattie, music director, collector and publisher of La- rorite songs. After receiving his M.A. Degree, Dean Beattie was appointed state supervisor of music of Michigan before com- ing to Northwestern. Not only does he enjoy working with col- lege students but also with young children in the public schools. Mr. Beattie's future ambition is to have a finer and more up to date building in which to work, but for the present he must in- struct fifty more students than there is room for in the Music School. FRED Dow FAGG Dean of Commerce 19 JOHN W. BEATTIE Dean of Muric THE MEDICINE-MAN has never contributed much to the physical welfare of mankind. Until medicine became a science, the complexities of the human organism were neither understood nor protected against the ravages of disease or pestilence. Similarly, with the increasing complex- ities of business, we can hope to avoid neither minor maladjustments nor serious economic ills until we have given prolonged and intelligent study to the problems of business and possess a comprehensive under- standing of it. The process of incantation, in this field also, will not suffice. The scientific study of business is but a few years old, so we should not marvel that we know so little of its nature or its problems. We must like- wise remember that the technological advances, which already bulk large, will continue at an accelerated pace to provide increasing complexities for the business man of tomorrow. In such a setting, it must be apparent that a university School of Commerce can not be in- terested merely in training tech- nicians whose skill lies in a tem- porary understanding of a chang- ing business mechanism-parts of which are already obsolescent. Instead, it must be interested pri- marily in training the business architects who can plan for future needs and business engineers who can understand the stresses to which business enterprise may be subjected and still enjoy a healthy and useful growth. 4

SIN. SVE IRS IT if THE GRADUATE SCHOOL was organized in 19lO by the Trustees of the University and at the present time controls all matters which concern advanced study leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy, Fields of study in almost all subjects offered in HIC UHiVCfSify HFC Open to Properly Qualified members of the graduate school. Dean Bell believes that a definite relation exists between the educational and business WOflLlS. Although he holds a bank directorship it is as a quasi activity, since his chief interest lies in the held of education. He believes that his place in the busi- ness world gives him a better chance to show in the classroom the relationship between business and education. Dean Bell and james XVAsiuNc.'roN l5IiI.I. llc.-11,' of Glfiltfllrlfc' .S'c'f200f PROFESSOR MANEY was drawn to engineering by stories of the ad- ventures of frontier engineers and the outdoor life connected with this career: but strangely enough his work in building bridges has conhned him to city life. His varied career has led him to both teaching engineering and supervising bridges and buildings throughout the country. The programs of study of the Engineering School aim to drill the stu- dent thoroughly in the fundamentals of the important helds of concentra- tion which relate to the program of study he has selected. This program not only aims to insure a sound educational background for practicing the engineering profession but also a broad cultural background provided by courses offered to engineering students in Liberal Arts, Speech, and Com- merce. Bachelor of Science de- grees are offered in Civil, Elec- trical, Mechanical, and Industrial Engineering. Professor Maney is attempting to make the Engineering School the best in the country, and at the same time to keep the registra- tion low. He has been given the go ahead word by the Uni- versity, and he now has the faculty and the backingg but it will take several years before the world realizes what a fine Engi- neering School it really is. ----------- , ,,,., ,.,- . t ' gm ,- his faculty determine the con- ditions for admission to the Graduate School and for candi- dacy for the degrees offered. They are also responsible for the development of research and graduate study in the university. Gisoicoia A. MANIQH' Dean of 1fI1Qil1c'l?l'jU 0 4 Us 18
