COLLEGE OF COMMERCE 1307 Farnam Street SINCE its organization, the University has steadily, year by year, ex- tended the range of its educational activities until now it includes a College of Commerce. It is only recently that standard universities have felt the necessity of providing this branch of educational training. The College of Commerce of the University of Omaha was organized to give educational service to those who seek either a short business course or a degree in Commercial Science. The subjects offered cover the field of commerce and are given in a thorough, practical way, under University regulations, with University credit for properly matriculated students. To properly function as a technical, educational institution, two ob- jectives must be kept in mind: First, to supply the necessary technical training and practice for a successful life of service in the commercial world; and, second, to assist the students in securing employment. The College of Commerce courses include specialized training for stenograph- ers, secretaries, bookkeepers, accountants, auditors, business executives, and all kinds of other office help which are required to carry on the com- plex commercial activities of the world. l iMityjiMiMi}s iMiiy!i yiiiLgiiy{iiLHi}yjiMiiy- ' i 22

THE CLASS OF 1927 OUR ship has at last come into port, and we are about to take the step which will put us on life ' s rocky road. The voyage has been one replete with pleasure, and one which will always furnish only the happiest and most treasured memories. We have stayed together for four long years, and we have seen some of our number drop out from year to year, but the spirit which fired us as Freshmen has not lessened, nor shall it lessen as years come and go. Others may have gone to larger schools, and have been in larger classes, but what does that matter to us? Here in our Alma Mater we have learned, toiled, and played, each in turn, and we are proud of our school, proud of our class, and proud of the achievements which are ours. Now we have come to the parting of the ways. Some will go here, others yonder, so as we work in our chosen fields, let us pause from time to time and give thought to the days that were, and to our University. 24
