VV HEN the University opened its doors in 1795 the first student to enter was Hinton James of Wilmington, who, after a brilliant career as a student, engaged in the practice of engineering. His breadth of interests here, ranging from astronomy to Wforld commerce, was a fitting beginning for the broad cultural training which the insti- tution has provided since that time for leaders in the con- structive development of the resources of the State and Nation. In 1852 the School for the Application of Sci- ence to the Arts was founded, which by 185 7 registered 69 students. Then came Civil War and Reconstruction, but with the reopening of the University in 1875 a Col- lege of Engineering was established. In 1 904 Engineering became a division of the new School of Applied Science, and in 1922 the present School of Engineering was organ- ized. The School of Engineering offers standard four- year curricula leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Sci- ence in Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engi- neering. AV. J.

THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE Bottom Row: Pe.uc Middle Row Tnp Row: Wo Faculty of Commerce School K. EvAXs. HoBBs. Carroll. Sherrill. Th Mrs. W. B. Sti- lHE School of Commerce at the University of North Carolina was established in 1919. Although courses in economics and in certain business subjects had been of- fered before the establishment of the School, the regular business curriculum was not established until that year, 1919. Industrial growth has been very rapid since the World War. and there has been a wide demand for trained leaders in the various fields of commercial activ- ity. The University of North Carolina has realized the importance of this demand for business leaders, and has set up a curriculum that will provide its students with as thorough and as scientific training as it is possible to give in this field. Courses are given in the subjects dealing with the cultural and social side of life, but the teaching policy is directed mainly along lines dealing with the organization and administration of typical business enter- prises.

I, -NTEREST in research and advanced study accompanied the foundation and history of the University. It is a mat- ter of tradition that William R. Davie included graduate work in his project of the institution. Postgraduate instruction leading to a degree in course was undertaken prior to the Civil War, regulations governing it being in- corporated in the catalogue of 1854. Upon the reopening of the University after the war, the plan for a graduate school w as formulated. The degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy were conferred in 1883. The office of Dean was created in 1904. The graduate school was reorganized in 1919-1920, and experienced an im- pressive development. In 1922 the University was elected to membership in the Association of American Universi- ties. TTTTW
