Street. In 1930 he was appointed Registrar and Business Instructor. Six years later, in 1936, he was selected as Assistant Dean of the College, and continued as Registrar and Business Instruc- tor until the College of Applied Arts was estab- ■ lished. The College, created in 1941, supervises the four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Science degrees in Business Administration, in Business and Engineering Administration, in Ed- ucation, and in Nursing, as well as the two-year Associate Title programs in Accounting, Aero- nautical Engineering, Drafting or Mechanics, Education, Engineering, Home Economics, Jour- nalism, Marketing, Assistant to Physicians and Dentists, Recreational Leadership, and Secre- tarial Practice. Many classes of special service to the country, both to war industries and to the armed forces, have been established and continued in opera- tion. The University has been giving Engineering Science and Management War Training Courses especially designed to train personnel for war in- dustry. Some of the outstanding courses were Aircraft Materials and Parts Inspection, Funda- mentals of Radio, Production Planning, Safety Engineering, Hydraulics, Stress Analysis, Draft- ing, Advanced Inspection, and Tool and Die Engineering. The College has promoted the Civilian Pilot Training since 1939 and has trained over 400 pilots to date. The college contains an engineering curricu- lum accepted by the Navy Reservists, while con- tinuing the regular university engineering pro- gram. The department of education has main- tained its place of importance in training teach- ers, and the home economics and journalism de- partments are growing normally. The man who has shouldered all the problems of adjusting the school to war needs is President Rowland Haynes. Buffer-like between Uncle Sammy and the men students, the work of our Prexy is merely a repeat of activities of the last war. During War I he acted as Director of War Camp-Community Service, in charge of off-duty time of Army and Navy men passing through New York. Through his college work at Williams where he received his A.B., Clark where he obtained his Master ' s, and graduate work at Columbia, Presi- dent Haynes gained a clear insight into the prob- lems of the average college. Coupled with his work among people of college age in the relief programs, state and national, he came to the PRESIDENT ROWLAND HAYNES University of Omaha well qualified to be the chief boss. With the door is always open to my students philosophy. Phi Beta Kappa Haynes guided the University through the perilous adjustment re- quired for survival. The following five point pro- gram has been put into effect: 1 . Colleges were asked to re-arrange schedules so that men could get as much college work as possible before leaving for the Armed Forces. The University responded with the speed-up courses from January to March, March to May. Omaha has put in the three-semester schedule, including a full semester in the summer. Men are permitted to earn complete or partial credits. 2. Directives from the Armed Services about student requirements change frequently. Omaha University set up a special Military Information Service in order that University men might have correct information week by week. 3. The University of Omaha was the first institution in Nebraska to have its courses ap- proved for these programs. 4. Omaha has adopted the Yale Program for women students and expanded its nurse train- ing program. 5. Special facilities were made available for CPT training for both Army and Navy men. Nearly 900 persons were trained for work in war industries of the United States Office of Educa- tion.
