DEAN F. E, HENZLICK education and democracy run hand in hand. TEACHERS GRADUATE DEAN C. S. HAMILTON his work concerns only the more serious students. In accord with its aims, to provide the student with usable knowledge to- gether with training in the technigue of disseminating this knowledge to others, Teachers ' College not only gives training in methods but also pro- vides opportunity to practice these in a classroom. Throughout its professional program the mission of this college is to build up within those entering a teaching ca- reer the right attitudes and ideals, in- stilling within them the idea that schools are maintained for the children and not for the teachers. All future school marms must practice-teach. Graduate School requires much research work While the ordinary student has little contact with the Graduate College, it nevertheless functions as an important spoke in the education wheel. To those desiring further education after receiving a Bachelor ' s degree, this col- lege offers the opportunity of continu- ing in their pursuit of knowledge. Graduate college bestows two types of degrees; one, the Master ' s degree to all students who satisfy the proper qualifications, the other, the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, to those who meet the more advanced requirements.

Although located in Omaha, the Col- lege of Medicine is an integral part of the University.

Schools and Divisions The School of Journalism had one hun- dred and fifteen students who spent their time alternately between the study of the fields of magazine writing, newspaper work, circulation, advertising, radio news and news photography. In correlation with technical study prospective news sharks must complete certain Arts and Sciences College require- ments in order that they have a complete understanding of the value of news. On May 23, 1941, the school will cele- brate its eighteenth anniversary. Each year of its existence the increased interest in the journalistic field has forced the school to keep pace with the high standards im- posed on the journalistic profession by the modern world. The School of Fine Arts had a reorgan- ization in July, 1939. Under the current sys- tem the school functions as a unit within the College of Arts and Sciences, formulat- ing its courses and graduating its students through both this college and Teachers College. Art, Music, Speech and Dra- matic Art are the departments comprising this school. As a special distinction, the Department of Music is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music. ft. E. WESTBROOK, Director responsible for the aesthetic. G. C. WALKER, Director ....
