Dean George F. Arfi.s COLLEGE OF EDUCATION f ' I ' he primary function of the College of I Education, as originally conceived, was to - prepare teachers for the public school service of the State. The rapid growth of the College, now third in si::e in the country, is in- dicative of the extent to which the University has discharged its obligation. In addition to its undergraduate service, the University by reason of its foremost educational position, is under special obligation to assume re- sponsibility for the development of graduate work. No other institution within the State is at present under equal obligation. Progress in this direction has been unusually gratifying and it is not unlikely that in the near future the Univer- sity may tind it necessary to reduce its teacher- training program for undergraduates in the in- terest of advanced graduates. This reduction can best be avoided by a marked increase in liberality on the part of the State. [25]

Particularly significant recent college develop- ments include the establishment of a Bureau of Business Research and the organisation of a de- partment of Commerce Extension . The Bureau of Business Research is cooperating in a research program with a wide variety of Ohio interests, and has done much to increase the effectiveness of residence teaching, in addition to its more direct services to Ohio commerce and industry. The department of Commerce Extension has an instructional stalf of six, oftcnng courses in a considerable number of cities.

mii Umbury A. Hitchcoc COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING HE College of Engineering is dedicated to I the work of aiding its students to become engineers and valuable members of so- ciety. As evidence of its service the College pre- sents the successes of its 3400 graduates and con- spicuous achievement among more than 6000 who were enrolled but did not complete the require- ments for degrees. It is our desire to serve the best interests of all those who enter the College. Engineering is one of the three oldest colleges at Ohio State. It has had a uniformly healthy growth, and has become one of the largest and best engineering schools in the country. The eight different degrees offered cover the basic fields of engineering, and the Engineering E.xperiment Sta- tion offers excellent opportunities for advanced work in many fields of research. [26}
