SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCE SCHOOL OFFICERS Robert Smart President Herbert Fick Vice-President John McNerney Secretary Alice Price Treasurer THE College of Arts and Science is the largest division of the University and holds the central place in the University scheme. It teaches the basic non-tech- nical courses necessary for admission to the professional schools and furnishes part of the training offered in the professional curricula. Be- sides this co-operation with other divisions the College trains for various careers in pure science and the human- ities, careers such as Chemis- try, Geology, Sociology, Lit- erature, and Art. Also the major work in the College prepares for graduate work and professional research. The primary purpose of the College, however, is training for leadership in all the walks of life. It trains the mind to clear, vigorous, and sustained thinking, desir- able in all occupations. Through the study of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities, it en- larges the intellectual interests of the students, makes them at home in our complicated modern civilization, and furnishes for their leisure deeper sources of personal satis- faction. In its broad outlook, it trains for leadership in social and political life, as well as for leadership in the professions. tyvceic tZ d 7 y C cUJl % Jesse Hall Pagtif

' i I hi: il in COLLEGE OF AGRICUTURE SCHOOL OFFICERS George Jones President Ted Joule Vice-President Will Adams Secretary Ed Gildehaus Treasurer THE educational activities of the College of Agricul- ture are so broad as to include not only students registered in the College at Columbia, but also farmers, country bankers, rural preachers, school teachers, and all other citizens interested in or de- pendent upon the agricultural industry for their economic, social, or spiritual welfare. There is no important funda- mental question pertaining to agriculture or to rural living which the College of Agri- culture does not attempt to answer. Its researches embrace economic questions per- taining to the production of agricultural commodities, their distribution and marketing, and in some cases processing for the markets of the world. It is as much interested in the spiritual and intellectual welfare of the rural community. The problems of the rural church, the rural school, and the rural community organization for social progress are all subjects of instruc- tion and investigation in the College of Agriculture. Its widely extended Extension Service brings promptly to the knowledge of its constituents the newest and best knowledge of value to the rural community. Its leader- ship in its field is recognized and appreciated. New Ag Building Page 14

f ill m School of Business and Public Administration SCHOOL OFFICERS W. J. Barnett President John Little Vice-President Kathryn Hulen Secretary Dan Ziefle Treasurer N RECENT years there has been manifested a notable change in attitude regarding the question of training for business and public service. The great expansion of industry and commerce and the growing complexity of our public in- stitutions have forced this change. Old methods of business, social, and public administration fail to meet the demands which have arisen under the changed conditions of today. The demand is for expert and scientifically trained men and women who may eventually occupy positions of leadership in these fields of activity- The School of Business and Public Administration is attempting to give this training. The faculty of the School has always emphasized training in leadership as its princi- pal objective. The courses of study are not designed to make high class clerks; for such, it is believed, is not the function of the University. University training justifies itself in the extent to which it provides young men and women with training for positions of real leadership and responsibility. I B. and P. A. Building Page lb
