ARTS AND SCIENCES T S I £UL in LU U if W ifTYlTTl fur Along with his other official positions Dean Charles E. Tor- bet A.B., M.A., has the respon- sibility of being head of the de- partment of arts and sciences. This department, the original school at Moore’s Hill, has maintained its place in Evans- ville College. The recent ac¬ ceptance of this school into North Central Association has further increased the prestige of this particular department, as E. C. is now known as an ac¬ credited Liberal Arts College. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Professor Dean Long, A.B., M.B.A., is rapidly building up a department of economics and business administration. Perhaps at no time in its brief existence has this department been so well organised and efficiently man¬ aged as it is at the present time. Students in the department are given a general but thorough training in the fundamentals of business and economics, provid¬ ing a good basis for graduate work or further business train¬ ing in actual practice.

EDUCATION Under the competent leader¬ ship of Professor Homer L. Humke, A.B., M.A., the depart¬ ment of education of Evansville College has made a great deal of progress. The admission of the college into the North Cen¬ tral Association has added to this department the recognition which it well deserves. It has placed the graduates on an equal footing with the graduates of any school in Indiana. ENGINEERING The school year 1930-’31 has marked an important change in the engineering department. Professor Lawrence B. Hoyt, B.S., acting head of the depart¬ ment, has been successful in working out, with the Purdue University officials, a plan of op¬ eration for coordinating the work offered in the Evansville College department of engineer¬ ing with that offered at Purdue. This plan will enable engineer¬ ing students to get two years of fully accredite d work here, pre¬ paratory to completing their work at Purdue. Page Twenty-two
