tent? f Histor of the School of Commerce lClNfll'l.,lC was founded in 1884, and soon after the School of t'ommerce was organized. During these early years the tlonunerce Department otfercd only practical, intensive, short-term courses in accounting, shorthand, and typewriting. It was in 1918 that courses were first organized on a degree basis, and in IQQI. with a class of just one, Dorothy Nlurdock was gradu- ated with a degree lll'Ol11 the School of Coniinerce. Since then 'there has been a cont.inual addition of cultural courses lo the regular business curriculum. The courses in the present School ol' Connnerce are planned not only for fitting young people for the business world but also that they may become useful and intelligent members of the community,v said Dr. Harry A. Cochran, Associate Dean of the School of Commerce. Courses are continually replanned and reorganized in order to provide for a course of study that will meet the needs of modern business. The old-time, practical subjects are blended with the cultural ones in order to balance correctly the curriculurn. From the small business school, the School of Commerce has developed until it now offers well-organized courses in accounting, merchandising, transportation, business administration, secretarial training, journalism, and real estate. ln connection with these four- year courses, the cultural subjects, such as English, political science, foreign languages, and history, are required for a degree of Bachelor of Science in Commerce. Graduates holding this degree are eligible for admission to accredited law schools. The present Faculty has been recruited from nearly every recog- nized institution which prepares for the teaching of subjects as offered in the School of Commerce. All members have earned graduate degrees, and niany are authors of books and are now considered as authorities on the subjects, their books being used at many outstanding institutions.
