Co. RUSS HALL
”
Page 20 text:
“
USS Hall, thejadministration building and first building on the campus, was erect- ed in 1908. It was named in honor of prin- cipal R. S. Russ, a noted executor and in- structor. During the summer school term in 1914, a bolt of lightning not only destroyed Russ Hall, but endangered the very existance of the college itself. Immediate and decisive action was necessary if summer school were to be continued. Consequently the citi- zens of Pittsburg rose to the full height of the occasion and within thirty-six hours had pledged $136,000 for the rebuilding of Russ Hall, which was in use the following year.

gv; COMMERCE Business is a pecuniarily organized scheme of gratifying human wants, falling little short of being as broad, as inclusive, as life itself in its motives, aspirations, and social obligations. It falls little short of being as broad as all science in its technique. Training for the task of business must have breadth and depth comparable with that of the task. A study of business is a study of business theory and its application. The department of commerce includes in its curricula not only courses which are of a technical nature but those aiming to train the student to analyze business problems as they present themselves in actual business life. The present eco- nomic depression calls to mind the possibility that too few business men have learned well to analyze such problems and to find a remedy which will cure business ills. The department aims to prepare the student along two slightly different lines of service. The training of commercial teachers has always been the major task of the department and hundreds of its graduates are teaching in the schools of the mid-west- ern states-. The second line of training is that offered along the line of Business Admin- istration, which has just been added to that of teacher training. The teaching staff of the department consists of six members—W. S. Lyerla, A. M.; Head of the department; J. U. Massey, M. S.; Willa M. Dush, A. M.; Lillian I. Miller, A. M.; L. G. Guffey, B. S.; and Hallie Bennington, B. S. To the student body and alumni we extend greetings and sincerely hope that whenever you need any service that we can render, you will not hesitate to call on us.
