BUSINESS, ECONOMICS The concept among leaders in educa¬ tional matters in regard to the purpose and role of a college education under¬ goes constant change. What the layman considers this role to be also undergoes change. The curricular changes in the Depart¬ ment of Business Administration and Economics made over the past years in¬ dicate the attempt made to integrate the department with the new pattern of edu¬ cation. It has always been the aim to gear the work of the department with these changing concepts. The staff of the department has ever been conscious of its proper role--to work toward the development of graduates possessing the characteristics of well- rounded young business persons. This includes not only a role of a vocational nature; it means also a person who will be an asset to the community in which he resides. Just as in the past, the department has striven to develop to meet these chang¬ ing concepts so it will ever be ready to do so in the future. tR. JAMES JULIAN, Associate Professor of Management shows a statistical chart to students. The department recognizes that further changes will occur regarding what con¬ stitutes an ideal college of the future. 16

The Chemistry Department came into existence as a separate department in the Fall of 1921 with Dr. Alvin Strickler as Professor and Head. Many young men received their inspira¬ tion to study chemistry and their basic undergraduate courses here. The col¬ lege can point with pride to many in¬ dustries, colleges and universities wl ere our graduates, who with their ad¬ vanced degrees, are leading in adminis¬ tration, fundamental research and in¬ struction. A very important part of the work of the department has been to provide the chemical background necessary in Engi¬ neering, Medicine, Home Economics, and others. The departmental facilities have always been available to industry and it has contributed much to the early growth of several of Evansville’s lead¬ ing industries. The department has grown with the col¬ lege from a one-man to a five-man or¬ ganization but has never lost sight of the original aim to make chemistry avail¬ able and useful to the layman as well as to the scientist. CHEMISTRY CHEMISTRY STUDENTS put their textbook knowledge to the “acid test” in chemistry lab. THREE MEMBERS of the Chemistry Department show a piece of equipment to interested student Lois Winkler.
