We are committed to a policy of production at a profit, in agriculture as wellas in industry. The most urgent necessity is for farm leaders who can properly interpret the needs of our farming population. V Since the World War We have had well nigh a revolution in our American farm' ing industry. The next twentyfive years promise even greater changes. If the agriculture of tomorrow is to have trained and effective leadership these leaders of the coming decades are now in training in our agricultural colleges. No field of endeavor is offering greater opportunities to ambitious and capable young men With farm backgrounds who are surveying the .horizon to determine where lies their best chance for constructive and satisfying careers. 1911. vfiv i W 7?

Er ilk' ri? 'T Dba Yvureau of Guibance anb Hecorbs ri' HE organization known as the Bureau of Guidance and Records was created, upon the recommendation of President Frank, for the purpose of rendering certain definite services to the high schools of the state, to the students in the University and to the faculty of the University. The Bureau has been interested in giving impetus to the establish' ment of guidance in the secondary schools of Wisconsin. Many of the high schools are doing splendidly in this respect. The Bureau has been interested in gathering information about the members of the student body in the University and in using this information to interpret individual relationships and institutional responsibilities. Such interpretations have been of help. The Bureau has had a further interest in supplying various departments of the University with information which has been found helpful in rendering better asf sistance to the student body. CHARLES A. SMITH It is the purpose of the Bureau to provide opportunities for students to secure information of an occupational type which will be helpful in giving the individual student a better basis for intelligent decisions with reference to choice of college and election of subjects. The Bureau is essentially a service organization seeking to make it possible for the University to improve the service which it has always rendered effectively to its student membership. F. O.

For more than a quarter century the work was predominantly undergraduateg at present two years of Letters and Science work are required for admission to the School of Commerce, which now offers a three years' curriculum. The work of the third year consists largely of seminaries and offers students the opportunity of doing research work on business problems. Only those students who complete this fivefyear program are recognized as graduates of the School of Commerce and receive its Masters degree. This development is in line with the practice of the best schools throughout the country. A special feature ofthe work of the School of Commerce both this year and last was the holding of a onefday conference with business men. These conferences have been distinguished both by the high quality ofthe program and the number of representative Wisconsin business men who have participated. The general sub' ject of the 192.9 conference was the movement toward economy in production and distribution. It is hoped by means of these annual conferences to promote the discussion and serious study of some of the more basic problems common to Wisconsin business interests.
