DELBERT J. DUNCAN, who is the popular head of the School of Business, served his first year as dean with amazing tact and efficiency. Business The School of Business is the outcome of a re- organization in 1923 of the College of Commerce. This professional division of the university confers the degree of bachelor of science in business upon its graduates. Students in the school can choose one of seven fields of specialization in which to concen- trate their work. The School of Business is a two-year school, limited to the junior and senior years of university work. In general, qualification for graduation from the school consists of two parts - a preparation in broad, general background courses in the freshman and sophomore years, and a concentration in busi- ness courses in the junior and senior years. The Bureau of Business Research is a subdivision of the School of Business, established to serve the interests of business and businessmen of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. It serves as a link between businessmen and students and teachers, as well as a source of information and opportunity for research. The school at the university was admitted to membership in the National Association of Col- legiate Schools of Business. This recognition is ac- corded only to schools which achieve and maintain certain standards of excellence with respect to fac- ulty, curriculum, library, equipment, and financial support. This was Dean Delbert Duncanis first year as head of the school. SCHOOL OF BUSINESS DEPARTMENT HEADS-John M. Griest, finance: Gerald F. Price, marketing, Greer G. Fullerton, accounting: Delbert J.

Engineering The College of Engineering consisted of two departments, civil and electrical engineering, at the time of its establishment in 1893. Since that time the college has been expanded to include the fol- lowing departments: mechanical engineering, chem- ical engineering, engineering drawing and machine design, applied mathematics, English in engineering, architectural engineering, engineering physics, aero- nautical engineering, and architecture. The Engineering Experiment Station is an or- ganization in the College of Engineering created to stimulate engineering education and to investigate engineering problems of importance to the state and region. The results of such investigations are pub- lished in the form of bulletins, reprints, and circu- lars.
