The bulletin board of the Commerce Building where daily the art of genteel shoving is exercised to the maximum. Students crowd to the board hoping their names will not appear for a rule infraction or the omission of an assembly. The need for emphasis on the study of social ethics and social problems, in preparation for careers in business, is daily becom- ing more apparent. In satisfying this need the College of Commerce and Finance has its claim to being unique. The university that sends forth a master of the balance sheet, or the finance expert who does not know the reason for his existence and how to live accord ingly, is preparing a man to gain the whole world but not to save his own soul.

The architectural orphan on campus and the home of slide rules, airplane engities, auto engines and many rare mechanical specimens is the Engineering Building. All curricula of the College of Engineering are approved by the Engineers ' Council for Profes- sional Development, the official and highest accrediting authority of the engineering profes- sion in the United States. This honor has been bestowed upon the College of Engineering since 1937 when it was included on the first pub- lished list of accredited midwestern schools. The co-operative system of engineering educa- tion is offered by the LIniversity. Co-operative engineering education combines theoretical and practical training in its program. Faculty and students enjoy a great advantage in that the LIniversity is situated in an important industrial community in which the practice of ■ engineering is particularly progressive and en- terprising. This is especially advantageous for the co-operative student. Worlds of practical experience are gained in the Umrersity shop on the lathes, such as the one pictured, and numerous other machines.
