( 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.

COLLEGE OF COMMERCE AND ADMINISTRATION WALTER WEIDLER Dean CHARLES REEDER Junior Dean Men Students 2,175 Women Students 556 Total 2,731 Degrees Granted 295 Faculty 106 Second in the nation ' s enrollment, losing first place to the University of Illinois by one student. 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

SINCE its earliest days, the training of teachers has been one of the most important functions of the University. It was not until 1907, however, that a separate college was established for this purpose. Ohio State is justly proud of her College of Education, be- cause the training afforded by this College is progressive and complete. In size the College ranks second only to Columbia University. The University School, in which students are enrolled at four years of age, provides a testing and observation field for the College of Education. No tradition or pre- cedent is put into operation in the University School without first being tested for its actual value. Methods of this School have been so successful that its graduates are accepted by Eastern Colleges without examination. The department of Fine Arts, which is under the ad- ministration of the College of Education, has an ever- increasing popularity on the campus. COLLEGE OF EDUCATION CONTRARY to the belief that the College of Education produces only teachers is the fact that it offers courses for the training of school nurses, psycholo- gists, supervisors and principals. The research bureaus, extension departments, and radio courses of this College increase its helpfulness and influence. During the summer quarter, teachers and graduate students flock to the College for additional training and as a result, its year-round enrollment is exceedingly high. After work in this College is completed, a Bachelor of Science degree is conferred. Thousands of these de- grees have been given.
