Vsmw, I ng YQ WW Q Paul L. Salsgiver, Director u' uduamuaa ' Business school girls are those students whose fingernails are kept short and clipped, and who are weighted down with reams of accounting sheets. They are the girls whose education calls for pro- ficiency in both cultural and professional subjects. The program ofthe School of Business is designed to enable them to qualify for executive-secretarial and administrative positions in the business world. The student may prepare for work in advertising, personnel, accounting, office management, and inter-American relations. Cr she may train for medical and scientific secretarial work. During her four years at Simmons, the student takes specialized courses in her chosen field, and also studies subjects closely related to her particular interests. For two weeks in the spring, she takes time out from the business classroom to do practice work, where she is given the chance to use her individual abilities. A new course, Business 24, was offered for the first time this year.

This familiar line from a traditional Simmons ditty refers to Sim- mons' unique School of English-unique in that it offers its students a well-rounded education in the liberal arts as well as the technical arts of publishing, editing, advertising, journalism, and publicity. In 1935 the English School, under the director- ship ofDr. Robert M. Gay, reorganized its program to answer the needs of girls who have a particular bent for writing or for entering the literary trades. The present director, Raymond F. Bosworth, guides English School students in choosing courses and arranges special programs for those students with specific interests. It is possible, for instance, to combine courses in the English School with the School of Science to prepare for employment on a scientific journal, or with the School of Business to prepare for jobs on house organs or employee maga- zines. The major courses in the School of English are handled competently by professional expertsg a city Juniors ask Mr. Valz, the answer nlan x' 20
