THE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE A WIZARD of Wall street, flanked by gleaming mahogany and decorative secretaries, sur- rounded by yes men, awaited by Packards, annoyed by reporters, ::nd concerned by fickle rises and falls, might bo the ultimate Interpretation of an imaginative newcomer io the realms of the College of Commerce. Monetary-sounding subjects like In- vestments, ' Bank Administration, or Money and Banking could do no less than encourage such entertain ing fancies. The College of Commerce, which was established as ] art of the ' ol lege of Liberal Arts in 1914 and in- augurated as the College of Commerce in 1921, is designed primarily to pro- vide training preparatory to any Jiue of business.

PHILLIPS Dean organized in 1926, is part of the com- merce department. It serves the pur- pose of rendering direct service to the business interests of the state.

THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY BLUE bottles and brown, white crystals and pink, large pills and small, sugar coated pills and bit- ter herb pills, all are the materials with which the student in the College of Pharmacy deals. The ancient, mys terious, art and science of drugs, known to Cleopatra, is the ffeld of his labors. Organized in 1KH5, the College of Pharmacy aims to train embryo pre scriptionists, manufacturing pharma cists, drug inspectors or food and drug analysts, and to elevate the general standard of pharmacy. The student works in the Pharmacy Botany building, which houses a li- brary of 15,000 volumes, second to none in the United States, the Chem- istry Building, Medical Laboratories, or University Hospital. In the lat- ter building, members of the senior class dispense drugs fulfilling pre- scriptions issued by clinical medical students. The hospital dispensary is under the personal supervision of the Hospital Pharmacist and under the direct charge of the Dean of the Col- lege of Pharmacy, Wilbur John Teet- ers, M.S., Ph.C. WILBUR J. TEETERS Dean After completion of a three or four year course and an examination by a state board of pharmacy the gradu- ate may practice in the state of Iowa. After practical experience he may pass examinations allowing him to practice in other states. The university is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. In addition to Dean Teeters there are forty-three instructors in the Col lege of Pharmacy. They consist of thirteen professors, three associate and six assistant professors, five asso- ciates, four instructors, five assis- tants, and seven graduate assistants. With the rapid advancement of the pharmaceutical field it has been nec- essary to protect the profession by law. This move has followed the set ting up of intellectual and education al standards by the other professions. But state protection such as is offered by the qualifying tests which must be passed to become active in the phar- macy field, has not aimed at the granting of special privileges to indi- viduals in this profession but to safe guard the public health by setting up minimum standards for practitioners.

THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION GUARDIANS of the future, step- ping into a world of responsi- bility with confidence and as- perity, hoping through scientific and competent instruction to build up the children of today into the citizens of tomorrow these are our graduates of the College of Education. The col- lege lias set for itself a high stan- dard, and it endeavors to provide the most adequate preparation for educa- tional positions. Its students usually have as their goal the competent in- struction and leadership of America ' s youth, and through their interest and co-operation, the department has greatly progressed in its ideal of the promotion of learning and research. Two schools, the Elementary and University High School, afford excel- lent opportunity for experiment and practical teaching, and also provide for research work in teaching meth- ods. A competent group of supervis- ors is maintained to guide the young instructors in their practical teaching experiment . The department has made a notable advancement in teach- ing methods through these schools, and the number of certificates grant PAUL C. PACKER Dean ed has increased annually. Each year a new group of young instructors goes forth from the Uni- versity well equipped to deal with youth and to expand and improve so- ciety. This year the College of Education has been moved from its head at Uni- versity Hall to East Hall which lias been remodeled from the old hospital. Here it has been given added room space and facilities to carry out its work in the way of experimentation and instruction. Education is perhaps one of th. 1 most vital elements in our present day civilization and promises to be even more essential to our peace and hap- piness in the years to coim-. Realiz- ing that intelligent preparation of the young people for the problems and battles of life is the only way to progress, we should select the most thoroughly prepared men and women available. The University of Iowa has one of the most comprehensive Colleges of Education in the middle west and the students who graduate from it are suitable teachers and loaders for America ' s youths.
