Under the direction of outstanding personalities in the field of interna+ional relations, the school points toward a program designed to foster an understanding of current international problems. Many of the major students are preparing for careers in government and diplomatic work. Round-table discussions and social meetings are spon- sored by extra-curricular organizations within the school. Among the prominent world affairs interpreters on the faculty are Dr. Claude A. Buss and Prof. Adamantios Th. Polyzoides. Chancellor R. B. von KleinSmid Henry NIese •J ' ' -i H ' % li H - f- r H 1 H m Theodore Chen Adamantios Polyzoides I

Majestic ivy covered walls, sturdy oak paneling, solid unyielding steps, restful blending colors, comfortable easy chairs, and modern facilities, all spell Old College to the informed student. By far the most impressive and best loved building on campu s, professors clamor to get classes there. Especially in the winter when huge furnaces send toasty zephyrs to every nook and cranny, and the specially con- structed roof keeps wet old rain out, then do we all kneel in a silent prayer of thanks for our Old College. iqits GRADUATE Training of advanced students for a life of scholastic pursuits and individual research is the task undertaken by the Graduate School. Relieved of the undergraduate trials of set schedules and weekly exer- cises, the graduate student is free to work under his own direction. The increase of scholastic development and independence is the aim of such a specialized program. Increased recognition is being offered both studer ts and faculty members in the field of individual research. Upper division of the Graduate School is the Graduate School of Research, organizeo in 1933 to stimulate original investigation and creative scholarship. Truly a training ground for astute scholars is this division of the University. Milton MctfcsscI John Kessel Dean Rockwell D. Hunt Lawrence Riddle

The hub of student activity centers, undoubtedly, in t he Student Union, hlere on the first floor is the far-famed eatery, where unexcelled cuisine and bracing beverages make it a mecca for all gourmands. Too, on this floor is the book store, where one may inexpensively purchase books and supplies, saving as much as three per cent on erasers. Offices of student body president and aides comprise the second floor, and on the third one finds the lounge, where soft cushions and tinkling pianos beckon invitingly to lovers and Phi Beta Kappa ' s alike. JOURNALISM News hawks, typewriter pounders, and scoop-seekers are harbored on the fourth floor of the Student Union, headquarters of the School of Journalism. Recognized as one of the national leaders in this type of professional training, the school couples study in theory with practical journalistic experience. Members of the student body write and edit the Daily Trojan, honored again this year with All-American standing among college newspapers by the National Collegiate Press Association. Upper division students are given an opportunity to publish an actual newspaper through the program of field trips which climax the Spring semester. Roy L.
