On completing his undergraduate 'work here, he went to Harvard University, where he studied in 1910-11, returning to the Uni- versity of Illinois in 1911 as an assistant in history. He continued his grad- uate work here, receiving his Ph.D. in 1913. Since that time he has been serving continuously on the faculty, accepting his present position in 1919. DEAN CHARLES M. THOMPSON HE aim of the College of Commerce is to develop power in sound thinking rather than facility in technique. The College is not interested in teaching students how to sharpen their business tools, it is interested, however, in teaching them how to make tools when, after they leave College, they meet up with tasks for which they have no tools. To put the matter in yet another way, the aim of the College of Commerce is to give its students a lib- eral education with a bias toward business. This it does by requiring them to major in economics ac- counting, business administration, and business,law by offering a variety of subject groups from which students may select according to their individual needs and by permitting a rather liberal choice of elective courses. - , 7 1?
