1930 CACTUS Sales, ads, accounts, and all such stuff, Compose his daily ration, But if you think his pose is bluff. You ' ll get a revelation. That ' s Fitz. scuccl cr BUSINESS VIUIMMI VIMS THE School of Business Administration was first created as a department of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1912. It was in 1923 when the enrollment had grown to such an extent and the courses of- fered had increased to such a number that it became advisable to give the work in business ad- ministration in a separate school. While the School does not have a building of its own, due to the pressing demand for other structures on the campus, nevertheless the classes have been re- moved for the most part from the shacks and are now conducted in Garrison Hall. When a graduate of this School is asked, What experience have you had? he can not say None. Three to six months of business experience is required of every student before he com- pletes his last semester of work. Whatever the experience may be, the student is expected to learn how the business is operated, something of its chief problems, and the methods of manage- ment. To demonstrate this acquaintanceship the student prepares and presents to the Dean a comprehensive report upon his experience. First row — Cox, Whitk, Thompson, BOVD, N ' i.wi.ovi:.

1930 C VCTUS He thinks B. Hall an issue still, He pulls the tremolo; His hero is our Uncle Bill — He ' s always on the go. Thai ' s T. U. COLLEGE CE ENGINEERING DURING the early years of the Univer- sity, the only engineering course to be given was that of Civil Engineering, and this was included in the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences. It was not until 1895 that the En- gineers were enrolled in a separate school. Electrical and Mining Engineering were added in 1903, but in 1914 the latter was discontinued in the University and transferred to the College of Mines and Metallurgy in El Paso. Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Architecture were added about fifteen years ago. In 1922 the title, Department of Engineering, was changed to College of Engineering. T. U. Taylor was elected adjunct professor of Applied Mathematics in 1888, with the en- gineering courses under his supervision. He has continued from this date to the present time to be the head of the Engineering Department and has been its Dean since the formation of the College of Engineering as a separate division of the University. Under Dean Taylor, the College of Engineering has achieved national recognition and has grown until now it has a building of its own and has been forced to hold classes in three other buildings on the campus, due to the great increase in the number of students taking the various engineering courses.

1930 CACTUS This man precise and quite astute, He ' s Dean of Education. The young idea must learn to shoot — This is his occupation. That ' s Pittenger. CCLLEGE Or CDUCATICN THE College of Education originated in 1891, and, like most of the now dis- tinct divisions of the University, it was for many years a department of the College of Arts and Sciences. It was in 1905 that a separation was made and the College of Education was organized as an individual unit. A change in the structure of the school was made in 1920, and it is this form which exists at the present date. The building and equipment of the College of Education are not surpassed in any other University in the United States and are conceded to be the best in the South. The work in this school is devoted primarily to the instruction and training of teachers. The Austin Public Schools have co-operated with the University, and students are afforded the opportunity of actual practice teaching in various classes in the Public Schools of Austin, where research and laboratory work are done also.
