lege and professional schools. With these purposes in view the University Administration tries systematically and vigorously to discover, encourage, and advance good teach- ing. Undismayed by the difficulty of defining this process, the Administration intends to carry on the deliberate ef- fort to multiply in Chapel Hill the teachers who quicken the intelligence, elevate the imagination, and fill the mem- ories of undergraduates. Of the effects of this undertak- ing seniors will be the best judges now and in the years to come. The active administration of the General College is the responsibility of a staff of ten faculty advisers. Each ad- viser serves as the dean of his group of students. From the time of admission until his junior year, each student is associated with one adviser who attempts to make avail- able and to consider with the student all relevant informa- tion in helping him to make academic and personal de- cisions. Through this association, the adviser helps to in- dividualize and humanize the student's participation in the life of the university.

For the first time during the life of this college the ori- entation of freshmen was completely planned and admin- istered by fifty upper-classmen under the joint chairman- ship of the President of the Student Body and the Presi- dent of the Senior Class. By careful preparation and organized work, this group helped the entering class to PAGE 2 4 make the adjustments required by life in Chapel Hill. The culminating event of the orientation period was an un- usually clear and impressive interpretation of the oppor- tunities and obligations of student government. President Graham was the speaker. Immediately after his address the freshmen met with small groups of upper-classmen for discussion and voluntary, individual pledges of support of responsible student self-government. The programs of study continue to serve the needs of different groups of students. The small proportion of an entering class that pushes on to graduation is a serious reminder that continuous improvement of the content and the circumstances of our offerings must be attempted. The purposes of these offerings during the nrst two years are: QU to promote a constructive experience in the broad learn- ing and critical understanding which contribute to personal achievement and civic responsibility, QQ to enable each student to test his aptitudes and develop his interests, and Q31 to start preparation for specialized training in col-

DEAN D. D. CARROLL . .V T ii! lil BINGHAM HALL 'lFlHllE SCHUUL OF CUMMERCE The School of Commerce is the expression of the University's desire to serve the large percentage of young people who will go into some phase of busi- ness activity, but who cannot spend more than four years in preparation for such a career. Recognizing the need of a general understanding of our complex modern civilization as a basis of a happy and effective life, the first two years of the course of study given PAGE 26 in the General College emphasize the broad cultural aspects of education. The last two years given in the School of Commerce are devoted primarily to the de- velopment of an understanding of the principles and procedures of modern business. The teaching policy of the School assumes that training for business should consist not only of a knowledge of the organization and methods of the most important fields of business
