WITH its eniollnient running a close second to that of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Commerce and Administration is becom- ing more and more popular on the Ohio State Campus. This College provides a general business course, and specialized curricula in Accounting, Marketing, Finance and Banking, and Public Admin- istration. The aim of the College is to fit the student for any field in business. Prior to 1915, the College of Commerce and Ad- ministration was known as the College of Commerce and Journalism. The department of Journalism was transferred from this College because the great num- ber of students desiring preparation for the various fields of business necessitated the existence of a College dedicated solely to that purpose. Students graduated from this school are so well qualified and have built up such an enviable reputation for the college that its growth has been nothing short of phenomenal. In line with its rapid growth the school has in- agurated many new features. Significant among these are the Bureau of Business Research and the Com- merce Extension Course. The former department came into existence in 1923, and is of great practical importance. Its function is to study the trends in modern business and to make these findings available to the commercial world. It serves as a laboratory for both faculty and students. The latter department conducts classes in many Ohio cities for the benefit of business executives and others who desire to keep informed as to changing business methods. This de- partment has been temporarily discontinued for financial reasons, but will be re-established in the near future. Balancing the books Compiling statistics 30

■IVMMiBAM COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES IN 1896, there emerged from the Ohio Agricul- tural and Mechanical College a new division which called itself the College of Arts, Phil- osophy and Science. Seventeen students were enrolled. This college is now the second largest Arts College in the United States. Under the Arts College are the departments of Bacteriology, Mathematics, Classical Languages, English, Geolo- gy, German, History, Chemistry, Philosophy, Physics and Astronomy, Political Science, Romance Languages, Speech, Optometry, and Journalism. D. LUTHER EVANS Junior Dean tliialMl 531 IjM I« 116 , The aim of the College of Arts and Sciences is to provide a liberal education for each student. Indicative of its philosophy and purpose is the abundant variety of courses this college offers. This year under the direction of Dean Stradley, there is an innovation in the college called the Exploratory Division Curriculum. The object of this new curriculum is to enable a student to fol- low his academic interests for two years in order to locate the field in which he wishes to specialize.

( N n Skk km I at Id 1 1 All ■Ml irtinl •A • COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY THE CoLi.EOE OF DENTISTRY is an example of a great oak that grew from a small acorn. The acorn was the Willoughby Medical College, of Willoughby, Ohio, which was founded in 1804, and which included both dentistry and medicine in its curriculum. The Willoughby School was absorbed by the Starling-Ohio Medical College, and in 1911, the Starling-Ohio Medical College became a part of Ohio State University. It is fortunate that Ohio State ' s College of Dent- istry and College of Medicine are housed in the same building, Hamilton Hall, since the Colleges are mutually helpful and a fine spirit of cooperation exists between them. The College of Dentistry enjoys a reputation of such note that enrollment is uniformly high. Repre- sentatives of this College practice dentistry in prac- tically every city in the United States. The College has the distinction of being a member of the Dental Faculties Afsociation of American Universities. A clinic in Hamilton Hall serves the double purpose of providing experience for students and dental serv- ice of little cost for those of small means. It would be impossible to estimate the amount of free dental work which has been done by the clinic for poor families in and near Columbus. That Ohio State is completely co-educational is shown by the fact that even in this College, women are enrolled. The dean of the College of Dentistry, Dr. Harry Semans, has a record of service that is interesting and unique. Dr. Semans was dean of the Starling- Ohio Medical College, and has held this position at Ohio State University for twenty-four years.
