College of Business Administration The College of Business Administration—largest college of the University of Tennessee and a leader in the South—offers thorough and comprehensive training that is geared to needs of modern business. Members of its faculty have been care- fully chosen for their practical business experience, their scholastic background, and their ability to teach. The quality of training is reflected by business administration graduates who have assumed positions of responsibility and leadership in all types of business and civic life. The College of Business Administration draws upon each of the 14 colleges composing the University in preparing the student to obtain his first job, training him for promotion on the job, offering him the opportunity to specialize, and guiding his interests toward an active civic and cultural life. Students learn the use of office machines and principles of effective salesmanship. They are taught to understand and adopt sound business practice and to develop inquiring, alert, and analytical minds. They prepare business reports, analyze business conditions, and make logical decisions in laboratory problems. They are able to specialize in almost any field for a world that increasingly demands more special- ists. And. through a broad cultural background, they learn to appreciate the world about them: they prepare for successful living and are trained for leadership. The University of Tennessee's College of Business Admin- istration is a complete educational training center where young men and women may prepare to fill these key jobs. Its program, covering virtually all types of skilled work in the business world, is devoted to satisfying the requirements of business, industry, and the youth of Tennessee. FRANK B.

Special Education of Exceptional Child N. E. FITZGERALD Dean of Education College of Education The new P. P. Claxton Education Building on Temple Avenue houses all but three of the deportments and areas of the College of Education. This building, air-conditioned through- out. was carefully planned and equipped to provide the most modern and functional facilities for the training of teachers and to illustrate good educational environment. The Educa- tion Library is well equipped for research and study purposes, and specially constructed laboratories provide facilities for many of the programs of specialization. The College of Education holds membership in the Ameri- can Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and all its programs are fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The College of Education is organized to perform three major functions: to provide both undergraduate and graduate professional preparation for teachers, school administrators, and other school personnel: to assist school systems and other educational agencies of Tennessee in programs of profes- sional improvement: and to promote and guide educational research. To facilitate the realization of its goals, the College cooper- ates with other agencies in continuous efforts to improve educational programs of the State, engages in research activities on educational problems, and acts as a coordinating agency for University services to the public schools.
