uafloacBaM School of Science m K The School of Science offers the degree of A.B., in ' pP B Science by three approaches: those of General Science, -Ww Special Science and Mathematical Science. These give J M to students a varied selection to equip them specifically H ' J for scientific research and for general culture. In each I Bk ' i H ' ° P one-half the requirements for graduation include B H H the humanities of language, history, etc., to insure m KM breadth of culture and knowledge. Of the large number preparing for their professions several have ex- celled at Columbia, Harvard, Hopkins, Tulane and other institutions. And of these, three have received their doctorates and others are research fel- lows in their respective branches. Others, still, are teachers of science and practitioners of their professions. Within the short life of the Uni- versity, graduates from the School have reflected credit on the institution and have become useful and cultured citizens. 0 b iP School of Commerce 9 This School consists of a full four years ' course in studies relating to practical business administration and industrial life. Upon its successful completion the de- gree of Bachelor of Commerce is conferred. It is the f - A only professional school at the University. It was or- f ganized in the Fall of 1919 by Dr. Arthur S. Libby, who H| then took the office of Dean of the School of Commerce f and Business Administration. Mrs. Cora Steele Libby is associate professor. The School with its allied departments has as its central idea the pre- senting of a course of study designed to give an adequate and thorough preparation for an executive business career. Among the outstanding graduates are: William Nunn, professor of Economics at University of Pittsburgh and Joseph Wilson, professor of Economics at University of Florida. ; '
