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.

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

Since the addition of the physical education major at the University, the College of Education has become one of the most complete organizations on the campus in the lines of academic work. The very atmosphere is conducive to education study because of the many colleges on the campus affording the education student contact with the various fields. Under Dean David W, Henry and Dr. jesse L. Wartl, the education department advanced considerably during the 1939 term. Graduates of the 1958 college were very well placed in teaching positions because of the great work of this department. Offered by the college of education are three distinct fields of work. They are degrees in secondary, ele- mentary, and vocational education. In the first, the work is planned so as to stress the necessities of a teacher in high school workg the second deals with grade school work, the third. a decidedly practical course, stresses the problems of instruction in modern industrial fields. This latter course is under the direction of Harry VU. Paine. Maintained by the department is a placement service for the superintendents and boards of education in this area. By this instrument, they are able to place gradu- ates much easier than if the service were not maintained by the University. Since Toledo is one of the best cities in the nation in re- gard to education, the students in education here have a decided advantage. Practice teaching in Toledo schools gives valuable experience to the upper grade students in education, and because of this. University of Toledo graduates are not exactly green when they get their first teaching positions. Comparatively new, the College of Education has a fairly large alumni, with almost HOU former graduates or students now teaching in the North- western Ohio area. From college professors to kinder- garten teachers, the College of Educa- tion fits the student with the valuable background necessary for teaching positions, It is for this reason, then, that the department stands as a most important part of the University's curricula. 25 Dean Henry Y
