SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Education for business at the university level developed in response to a need comparable with that which created other types of collegiate professional training. Until a comparatively short time ago, training for business consisted of practical experience and apprenticeship. However, these methods have come to be regarded as wasteful in the training of young men and women for business careers. In consideration of this educational trend, the School of Business of TCU offers a program of study for the primary purpose of developing individuals capable of directing and conducting business and economic affairs in a rather complex society. The school undertakes to combine its instruction in such a manner as to qualify its students for beginning useful careers and to instill a command of fundamentals upon which they may build for subsequent advancement to positions of authority. The School, established in 'l938, suggests a unified program of basic studies and relatively specialized concentration in certain branches of business endeavor- accounting, advertising, business administration, business education, economics, finance, management and secretarial science. Nearing completion is the S850,000, air-conditioned Dan D. Rogers Hall, which will house the School of Business and the Department of Journalism. Equipped with the most modern facilities, this building should be ready for use in the fall of 1957. s.,-1 Students seek to solve the mysteries of accounting in an afternoon lab.

BRITE COLLEGE OF THE BIBLE Since TCU was founded in 1873 as AddRan College, it has maintained a Depart- ment of Bible. Not until 1914, however, was the Brite College of the Bible con- structed. Some 537,000 for the building fund was contributed by L. C. Brite of Marfa, Texas. ln 1939 Brite College celebrated its silver anniversary. Since 1873, the college has sent more than 400 young men and women into some 'Form of ministerial service. Since 1939 there have been 188 graduates of the seminary serving as pastors, religious education directors and missionaries, both home and abroad. The Bible courses were largely under-graduate in earlier years, but under the stimulus of the faculty and the general elevation of education, the level of training has risen and the number of students doing graduate work has steadily increased. The B.D. curriculum formerly accepted one year of credit recounted from the B.A. This practice was discontinued in 1939 and since then the bachelor's degree is required for entrance into Brite College. The college was elected to membership in the American Association of Theological Schools in December, 1939, and was accredited as a standard seminary in De- cember, 1941. Time is taken out from studying to enioy the fellowship of a good game of ping-pong. During the noon hour on Thursdays, Homiletic Guild meets for its regular dinner and programs. Q., A ' .Q L :.
