Only since 1934 has there been a separate administration for the studies of graduate students. Before that time, they enrolled with the dean of the college in which their work was classifiedg since the creation of the Graduate College, graduate work has been administered through the Graduate Study Committee with the Dean of the College as chairman. This committee represents the general faculty and is comprised of one representative from each of the following subdivisions: Fine Arts, Human- ities, Social Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Physical Sciences. Graduate Work leading to the master's de- gree is offered in thirty-six major fields, and the degree of doctor of philosophy may be conferred upon work- ers in six major fields. For the purpose of encouraging graduate Work and research the University offers twenty-four fellowships annually.

In the year 1914 a four-year specialized course of study leading to a bachelor's de- gree in commerce was approved by the University and was made a part of the College of Liberal Arts. The course proved popular, and the enrollment increased steadily. The number of graduates receiving degrees in commerce mounted. In 1934 the Board of Regents created the present School of Business and Public Ad- ministration with Dr. E. Brown as Director. Since that time the School has continued to grow. Today the School of Business and Public Administra- tion of the University is a professional school which combines a broad cultural background with an oppor- tunity for concentration in ten professional fields of study: accounting, finance, general business, market- ing, secretarial training, teaching commercial subjects, law and business administration, government service, foreign service, and social work. At the present time fourteen faculty members are in charge of the instruc- tion of the five hundred a11d fifty students enrolled in the School, which is the largest division in the Univer- sity giving professional work. 21
