This is a distinction to the Washington School of Business Administration, in that it has an authority on foreign trade desired liy the best iniivci ' sitics in Europe. The College of Business Administration has been active in soUing many industrial problems, by conducting a large number of surveys, assisting in wage awards and conducting five cost of living surveys, two of wliicii have been brought down to date. The wage plan for municipal employes, as pre- pared by Stephen I. Miller, director of the scliool, was accepted by the city council. This plan provides for a system of grades and promotions and bases the wage on the cost of living. The industrial survey of Seattle, which Avas undertaken in co-operation with the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the chemistry department, was recently completed. This college acts as a research clearing house for the State of Washington Reconstruction Congress. Arrangements have been completed to make a tour of the leading cities in the state for purposes of an industrial survey. A research associate is constantly at work ou research problems. Beta Gamma Sigma, lionorary scholastic commerce fraternity, stands for the profession of business, for higher ideals and honesty in business relations. Its aims are to raise the scholastic standard of the commerce students and to create a co-operative .spirit. Phi Sigma Chi, honorary professional commerce sorority, aims to instill co-opei-ation on the part of women students. It requires a high standard of scholarship and adaptability. PAGE

with the exception of a sweet society reporter and her assistant. And the women pnt it over, too, for the entire staff on the first semester ' s Daily was composed of their sex, with the exception of one man, Loren Milliman, a frosh wlio stnck by the ship in that sea of femininity. Too mnch credit can not be awarded Florence Logan, the first woman editor of the Daily in tlie history of the University of Washington, who has the distinction of piloting the official A. S. r. W. publication through a most successful career in a period of strife anil unrest. With tlie second quarter came the stronger sex to rule. Frank Davies, as editor of the Daily, rearranged the editorial office into a typical metropolitan news room. The staff was departmentalized to a greater extent than ever before in the history of the Daily, and each head was given a desk. Davies first published a morning Daily, and would have pursued this policy had not tliis plan been rendered infeasible by conditions in the mechanical department. The journalism quarters never cease to be a popular rendezvous of the campus. Besides the never ending string of students looking for copies of the Daily, seeking information, and craving publicity, many come to gossip or read Jane, the newsy bulletin board, of which the postoffice department has proved a popular feature. A consideration of the School of Journalism would be incomplete with- out mention of the library and file room. In the former, the latest books relative to the pi-ofession are to be found, and in the file room are copies of the leading publications of the state and nation. The faculty includes Miss Grace Edgington, Fred Kennedy, Frederick A. Russell, Frank Goss and Colin V. Dyment. who will again be active in the department in the fall quarter. College Of Business Administration THE College of Husiness Administration is a professioiuil school which aims to train its students to meet the problems of modern industry. With the return of many men from active service, the registration increased from 1: 9 in the first quarter to 391 in the second and 421 in the third quarters. Tiiis reflects the great interest in the study of modern business problems, organization, and management. To meet these needs and to furtlier expand the activity of the School of Business Administration, ten faculty men will teach a total of 110 courses throughout the coming college year. The creation of the Bureau of Advisory Boards has been started with the organization of the Foreign Trade Board and the llerchaut Marine Board. Each board will consist of fifteen leading men of the state, who will co-operate with the faculty in making tiie courses meet actual business needs and in acquainting the students with community leaders and their views and to bi-ing about a greater spirit of co-operation. Arrangements are mider Avay

C ollege Of Liberal Arts Till-: Lih.Tal Arts nw, it t ' Oiisists of tliree ( sh--U ill Front of Denny Hilpimj to ■•.S ' »rf ' cm South raiiglc, tlioil i:li distinct units, to iiost students means Denny Hall, the center of college and the coffee grinder or melting pot of the University. P ' verybody knows David S. Thomson, the genial, kindly dean of the college. He is the fir.st aid to the wondering freshman, to the puzzled upper-classman who hears of the junior certificate for the first time, to the fallen one who desires to be reinstated and given just one more chance. Tnder the clock in Denny is a favor- ite trysting place, and at 9 and 10 o ' clock the coffee grinder begins to move, and the laughing, pushing crowd sways back and forth, hurrying in to classes or out for air or an appointment ou the steps. Above the iuibbub one can hear an occa- sional T. L. passed back and forth, an im- portant meeting announceil. or a hurried date planned. The work of the College of Liberal Arts is divided into two gro ips : (1) The classical language and literature group, comprising the departments of English, German, Oriental literature. Romanic literature and language. Rus- sian and Scandinavian: (2) the philosophical group, comprising the depart- ments of economics, history, philosophy, political science, and sociology. In late years a College of Education has been founded, and its work is carried on in the Home Economics Hall, the second unit of the Liberal Arts quadrangle, which was first occupied in September, 1916. The College of Business Admin- istration holds forth with the schools of journalism and law in Commerce Hall, the third unit of the quadrangle, which was first occupied in September. 1917. The fourth unit is the new Philosophy Hall, bids for which have already been received, and which will be erected next fall. The work is so divided that there are three stages in student ' s progress: (1) Graduation from high school: (2) obtaining the junior -t ' rtificate upon completion of the first two yeai-s in the I ' niversity : ( ' A graduation from the I ' niversity.
