€n GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Men who were exchanging their uniforms for husi- ness suits swelled the enrollment of the Graduate School of Business to capacity. A lieutenant com- mander in the WAVES, the former mayor of Stras- bourg, France, and an Army lieutenant colonel were among those answering roll in this unusual group of students. These men and women are enthusiastically turning their civilian energies toward preparing them- selves to Ije business executives. Students see theory in practice when they visit representative businesses such as Columbia Steel Corporation, Montgomery Ward and Company, Richmond Chase Company, and P.G. and E. Supply Depot. According to Dean J. Hugh Jackson, left, constant requests for young exec- utives come to tlie School, giving students an insight into the numerous opportunities for placement. The Business School students are seen every morning en- joying their smoking between classes as they discuss tlie ups and downs of the stock market on the Biz School Curb. Professor George Dovvrie endeavors to simplify problems of high finance. Accounting methods are capably ex- plained by Barrett McFadon. 12

f Ift Alfred Grommon ' s back- ground is a perfect blend of English and education. Education ' s future forms the basis for Lawrence Thomas ' thoughtful philosophy. The School of Education, under Acting Dean Lucien B. Kinney, right, in keeping with postwar conversion, has innovated modern educational advancements. One of the most important of these is the introduc- tion of audio-visual aids in education. Throughout the war, both the Army and Navy made great use of films for valuable instruction in warfare. Lieutenant Commander Reginald Bell, recently discharged from the Navy, who was head of the Training Films Unit in the Aviation Training Division, has taken over this work at Stanford with great interest in advancing its use in schools. Among other professors who have joined the staff are Dr. William H. Cowley, who is teaching courses in experimental education, and Dr. Alfred H. Grommon, who is directing the program of teacher education in the field of English. This ex- panded School of Education takes up its task with an eye toward world-wide understanding and co-opera- tion. SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
