FRANK B. WARD Dean of Business Administration 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 train- ing that is geared to needs of modern business. Mem- bers of its faculty have been carefully chosen for their practical business experience, their scholastic background, and their ability to teach. The quality of training is reflected by business administration gradu- ates 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 oppor- tunity to specialize, and guiding his interests toward an active civic and cultural life. Students learn the use of office machines and prin- ciples 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 specialists. And, through a broad cultural background, they learn to appreciate the world about them; they prepare for successful liv- ing and are trained for leadership. The University of Tennessee’s College of Business Administration 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.
