1 1 in The College of Commerce C CHESTER A. PHILLIPS Dean II E College of Commerce of the University of Iowa was established in 1921. Its rapid development in both student body and faculty has been such that it now ranks as one of the three or four largest colleges on the I ' Diversity of Iowa campus. This development has taken place despite the requirement that commerce students com- plete two years ' work in the school of Liberal Arts before they enter upon a professional training period of the same length. The growth in numbers is exceeded in importance by the expansion and en- richment of the curriculum and improvement in methods of instruction. The Bureau of Business Research, established in 1926, besides contributing directly to the solution of some of the most pressing business and economic problems of the state, has lent reality and practical effectiveness to the instruction of the school. With its increasing growth in numbers and improvement in methods and facilities there has been corresponding advance in the spirit of the student body. Esprit de corp and whole-hearted cooperative action are notable factors among both the students and the faculty members of the school. The fundamental purpose of the college is to train broadly for a concrete business. It is being realized with greater and greater fullness and at the same time the student does not lose sight of non-pecuniary values. HUGO F. OSTBKRCi WILBUR E. CLAUSEN Twenty-six

fr- ill i. y ii krito . G T ?e College of Pharmacy -HE College of Pharmacy of the State Univer- sity was established in 1885 through the efforts of George II. Schaffer of Port iladi- WILBUR J. TEETERS Dean on and J. II. Harrison. Commissioners of Pharmacy. Tlie college has always cooperated with the druggists of Iowa in advancing pharmaceutical education. Students are given practical work under careful supervision of a registered pharmacist. This feature of the college is distinctive as well as the drug service station which supplies drugs for all the university. The garden of medicinal plants of approximately two acres grows specimens for class demonstration and commercial use. Pharmacy is a profession protected by law. This is not for the purpose of granting special privileges to pharmacists, hut to safeguard the public health. The responsibility, therefore, of the College of Pharmacy of the State University of Iowa is to furnish clerks, proprietors and specialists in specific lines not only qualified educationally but both men and women of the highest type, so that the ideals of the profession will be upheld. Pharmacy is in a large measure applied chemistry, so that it was but natural that the pharmacy college should be housed in a unit of the chemistry building. The entrance and graduation requirements of the College of Pharmacy are as high as those of any college in the United States, and its equipment is surpassed by none. It holds membership in the American conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties whose object is to promote the interest of pharmaceutical education. EVERETTE McARTHUR EDSKO G.

r ttr; t r . The Graduate College CARL E. SEASHORE Dean 1 OT ALL students are satisfied with a mere Bachelor of Arts degree, therefore many of the more earnest enroll in the Graduate College. The development of the graduate college at the State University of Iowa has afforded a graduate study which is now a proper preparation for all higher walks of life. It makes teaching a professior as well as brings science into medicine and specialist. 1 - in every field of activity. It broadens the specialized professions. It strengthens the pulpit. It organizes industry. It lays the foundation for invention and commercial production. It makes a definite knowledge of human society the basis of our government and of our public administration. It guides us in the development of the natural re- sources of our state and community. It enriches literature and makes for an in- creasing interest of a reading public. It furnishes the highest opportunities for a liberal culture and the advancement of science for service to the nation. The Graduate College at the University of Iowa is only twenty-eight years old. Yet it has grown so rapidly in the last year that one-fifth of the students on the campus were graduate college students, and it is fair to predict that if the present tendencies continue to advance that fifteen years from now there will be. as many graduate students as undergraduate students on this campus. During the past year (1927-1928) the Graduate College conferred 218 master ' s degrees and sixty-two doctorates. There are a considerable number of post -doctorate stu- dents on the campus and the desire of the students for creative work is marked. Twenty-seven
