COLLEGE OF INESS ADMINISTR TID The College of Business Administration, established here in 1930, emphasizes work in professional Helds, yet stresses a fundamental background in liberal arts. Students enrolled in this college have the advantage not only of specialized business curriculum, but also of courses in arts, sciences, education, engineering and law. There are nine departments in the business college: accounting, commerce, economics, finance, journalism, man- agement, marketing, secretarial training and statistics. Majors are not planned by departments, but according to vocational fields. There are sixteen specific programs for business majors. New courses recently have been added in industrial man- agement and industrial relations. Also more courses on the graduate level have been added in the fields of accounting, finance, management and marketing. The college emphasizes the city of Toledo as a business laboratory. Industries have cooperated in extending facilities to students in conducting trips through plants, and in provid- ing speakers for classes and clubs. Many graduates of this college are placed in positions in Toledo. The College of Business Administration aims to prepare students to go out into the business world with a broad, liberal background, an appreciation of the social economic world in which they will live and work and with a skill in their specialized field. .ng-ull' DR.

The elementary education department alone has doubled its enrollment in the last two years. For students desiring to major in the field of art, the internationally famous Toledo Museum of Art provides classes in drawing, designing, painting and art appreciation. The physical education department offers courses in theory and practice of coaching to both men and women.students.

Seniors in the college do their student teaching in public schools of Toledo and suburban communities. A teacher placement bureau is maintained for the con- venience of administrators who may desire the services of qualified candidates and for the convenience of the candi- dates themselves. Last year the placement bureau found positions for 138 seniors and alumni of the University in public schools in several states.
