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

Thomas C-. Peyton, aided by Maj, YV. A. Falclc, Maj. Carleton Burgess, Maj. R. C. VVinehester, a staff of non-commissioned oflicers, and Miss Mary Anne Cross, secretary of the department. Nearly 6oo freshmen and sophomores, and 102 upper- classmen, who receive reserve commissions at the end of their four years of training, registered for work in September of this school year. This year the department changed the drill and class- room schedule, offering a two-hour drill period on either Tuesday or Friday, and cutting an hour from the class work, thus emphasizing the practical applica- tion of theory. ' Another innovation this year was the advanced riding and jumping class offered to interested seniors by Major NVinchester, one of the United States army's best horsemen. New to the department, Major VVin- chester has received special training at the cavalry school at Ft. Riley, Kansas, and at a Polish school. 22
