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

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

HI I SCHOOL OF EDUCATION SCHOOL OFFICERS Constance Boyer President Lucy Shelby Vice-President Martha Montgomery Secretary Dorothy Saville Treasurer THE University of M souri has been one of the leaders among state universi- ties in providing training for teachers. The University was the first state supported institution in Missouri to give training in the field of Education and was one of the first state universities in the country to establish a professorship of Education. With the organization of a College of Education in 1902, it was the first of the State Universities to provide a separate collegiate division with degree-granting powers for training educational leaders. Through surveys and directed research, the School of Education furnishes assistance to the leaders of many of the schools of the state. Through experimental work carried on at the University, the School of Education assists in the development of better educational practices. By means of summer session work, teachers as well as supervisors and administrative officers are given oppor- tunities to continue their studies. Through the 3,500 students who have received degrees from the School of Education since its establishment, this division of the University has contributed to the educational leadership of every state in the Union.
