Blancliard, Bowman, The one school where a diversified number of sub- jects is offered is in the college of Arts and Sciences, Like any other liberal arts college, the courses offered at the University tend to let the student choose his own curricula, with but a few required subjects given the first two years. Facilities in the Arts and Sciences college are made for pre-dental, pre-medical, and pre-law work. The faculty of the Arts and Sciences college is well grounded to teach all of the background subjects required of these profes- sional courses. In cooperation with the Toledo Museum of Art, sev- eral courses in art are offered which may be applied to- ward a major or minor. Professional courses in the oth- er colleges of the University may be taken toward an arts degree. Several additions to the faculty of the college were added in the past year including john Pollard, Edward Potter, Kellog Hunt and Ralph Bowersox. The increased enrollment in the student body necessitated the adding of additional instructors. Dr. Robert N. Whiteford, professor of English literaa Dean Tom nsend ture. resigned from the faculty at the beginning of the 1938-39 year. Stan- ley T. Donner, instructor in English. left after serving on the faculty for one year. Brenton W. Stevenson, assistant professor of English, is one of the busiest men in the department, He not only has regular classes in English, but is also the director of the Evening Sessions, director of the Opportunity School, editor of the University Bulletin, and head of the News Bureau. Graduation in the college of Arts and Sciences may be completed when 124 hours of work have been taken. Although the hour requirements are less for this college than any of the others at the Universtiy, the courses offer a wide selection for specialization in various fields. The Arts and Science college is truly the heart of the University, because the students enrolled spend four years of their lives in attempting to gain the knowledge that will open many sources of future fine living. The cultural courses prove invaluable in later life. 23

No other department at the University of Toledo is better represented locally than is the College of Pharmacy, where embryo druggists of today are trained to become tomorrow's experts. In the first year of the college, under the guidance of its director, Dr. George F. Baker, the department made great progress. Founded on really strong bases, for the pharmacy division of the University is one of its oldest departments as a class, this new college is rapidly attract- ing students from outside Toledo to the classes here. It was on january 10, 1938, that the new college was separated from the Arts and Sciences division. From that time on, the cur- riculum was arranged so as to provide ' the student with preparation for work as a druggist, a pharmaceutical chem- ist, and, of course, for graduate work in the field of pharmacy. Since many of the students in this college are already working, the facul- ty has arranged the classes so that those employed may attend classes but still hold onto their jobs. Thus both prac- 22 tical and scholarly experience are made available to the student. Nineteen are included on the faculty of the College of Pharmacy. Not only does the faculty offer courses in pharmacy work itself, but in its correlated fields, such as accounting, business, and economics. One never realizes the courses offered in this college until the curriculum is viewed. Such subjects as ethics of pharmacy, pharmaceutical arithmetic and Latin, and phar- macy jurisprudence, are among the many courses offered which differ from common public opinion. Social life in this college is led by Kappa Psi fra- ternity, an international honorary in the pharmacy field. Thus a great advance has been made by the Univer- sity in this college since 1904 when the Division of Phar- macy was first introduced as an integral part of the Uni- versity's work. Since then the additions made in 1927. and 1933. have been supplemented yearly until the present college stands to become one of the most popular in years to come.

Stone, Brower, Searles, Blossey, Fortney BUSINESS ADMTNTSTRATTUN One of the most prolific colleges in the University is the College of Business Administration. With the in- creasing importance of business in the country today, stu- dents are receiving a practical education in this college. The Bureau of Business Research is included in this department, and each month a Business Review is pub- lished under the direction of Dean Searles. Other mem- bers of the staff include Franklyn G. Moore, Dr. Doug- las Bellemore, Harold Frey and Donald S. Parks. Toledo business concerns follow these reports with interest, and from them gain valuable information about general busi- ness conditions throughout the city. Additions to the teaching staff this year include Fern Blossey and Mary Brower in the department of secre- tarial training, and Angelos Theodor- ides as instructor in economics. jane Church, associate professor of secre- tarial training, took a leave of ab- sence to teach in the University of California. Kirk Stone, appointed last year as instructor, was in charge of a student tour to South Carolina during spring vacation. Students in this college use the city's 24 l A Q numerous business concerns for laboratory work, and the courses offered enable the students to actually work with these companies in co-operation with University instruction. As a good illustration of the importance of this col- lege in University studies all courses were changed to professional ones this year, The increasing enrollment in this branch of the University strengthens the reasons for enlarging and advancing the departments curricula. Dr. Lorain Fortney, the oldest member of the Busi- ness Administration faculty from a point of years of serv- ice, has been on the teaching staff since 191-i. Every student enrolled in the college takes Doc for at least one course during a four-year period. Although there are many prescribed and required courses in the department, a well-balanced curriculum is offered. Several cultural courses are offered to give stu- dents opportunity to have a complete college degree at the end of four years. The amount of hours necessary to grauate were reduced in the college from 136 to 130 to give students a better chance to complete the require- ments in four years, At the end of the four years the student has a degree that includes one of the most diver- sified on the campus. Ability to procure a job is made easier for students who have completed courses in this college.
