COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Teaching is one of the oldest forms of earning a living known. But good teachers are still in constant demand. The duty of the College of Education is to show men and women how to become good, thorough teachers. Students who have graduated from the College of Education have acquired a broad knowledge of many subjects, a thorough knowlege of the special subject which they wish to teach, and through excellent practical experience and study, a knowledge of how to deal with pupils of all ages and how to meet the various problems that come to every teacher. By this method teaching has progressed by leaps and bounds until even small schools in rural districts have experienced teachers. This college is under the able direction of Dean James Willis Clarson, who has done much to further the aims of education throughout the state, being the president of the Arizona Educational Association. The faculty is small in this college, but each professor, lecturer, and supervisor has wide experience and knowledge about all the phases of school work, and is recognized as a man with high educational achievement.

COLLEGE OF PUBLIC, and BUS. ADM. DEAN BROWN This new School of Business and Public Administration was created by the Board of Regents in March, 1934, and went into effect September. Its purpose is to provide more effective university training for students who arc preparing for business or government work. It is a part of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences and is essentially an organization to utilize existing courses offered in many different departments, such as english, psychology, history, political science, economics, sociology, and business administration. Taking these courses and coordinating them into carefully planned curricula, this college provides an important and needed type of training. In making provision for professional training in public administration the University is wisely taking the initiative in preparation for most important public service. With the tremendous increase in government activity during recent years, government employees spend increasingly large proportions of our national income. If these services are to be efficient, if people are to receive adequate returns for taxes paid, these government employees must be efficiently trained. The new school, under the able direction of Dr. E. J. Brown, offers four years of university training leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. Page 21

COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS DEAN ROGERS Last year the past College of Music under Dean Rogers was merged with the departments of art, drama, speech, and rhythmics into the present College of Fine Arts. A bachelor of art’s degree may be obtained in each of these fields. This college has a faculty of which many larger eastern schools might well be proud, for several of them have received their training not only in the United States but also abroad. Julia Rcbcil is head of the piano department; Rollin Pease, head of the voice department, has won national distinction as an oratorio singer; Arthur Olaf Andersen, head of the theory department, was head of this department at the American Conservatory of Music at Chicago and the teacher of many of our outstanding composers; Arthur Cable is head of the speech department; Geniveve Brown, head of dancing; Marguerite Morrow, head of dramatics; and Katherine Kitt, head of art. The other members of the faculty arc also well known in their particular field. For the past several years this college has sponsored the University Artists Series, which brings to our students the finest artists of national repute. P«K 23
