LeRo.v.vig1zol If all goes well during the remainder of the yea1', the graduating class of the College of Business Administration will number seventy-nine personsg seventy-seven men and two vvomeng making a totalqof two hundred twenty-Five graduates since the year nineteen hundred and sixteen, including forty-one graduates of the former School of Commerce. It is gratifying to note that fully three-fourths of our graduates are residents of Nebraska, and that many of them have returned to their home towns where, no doubt, they will help to sustain and improve the standards of business life and citizenship. In this way, we think, We are return- ing the taxpayers' investment with compound interest. , Second only to the training of men and women for service in their chosen profession, jis',the.vvork of business research lately begun by the University of Nebraska, which is one ofgthe hrst of the state universities to enter this field, following the lead of the Harvard Bureau of Business Research. Already the Committee on Business Research has published six bulletins and others are in course of preparation. In the Hrst series are three valuable bibliographies on Retailing, Banking, and Insurance, designed to help business men in their reading. In the second series there are three other bulletins: Stock Turnover in Nebraska Retail Stores, Operating Expenses in Retail Grocery Stores, and Analysis of Financial State- ments in General Merchandise Stores. Already these bulletins have attracted wide attention as important studies of Nebraska conditions, which apply, with slight modification, to the whole of the Middle VVest. As the 'work develops, the College of Business Administration will do for the business men of the State what has been done for the farmers by the College of Agriculture, thus adding greatly to the prosperity of the State and at the same time showing that, in the changing and com- plicated conditions of our day, practise and theory, business and scholarship, must go hand in hand.
