' ' S- ' ?; ;::Cr;:i:;:i ' ::;i SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Mrs. Jackie Williams and Mr. Woodie Tucker instruct a class in the use of the typewriter. This is a basic instrument in which all students are required to have a working knowledge regardless of the nature or extent of their busi- ness course. hHere we see three professors of the School of Business, Dr. M. L. Ingram, Mr. Charles Reap, and Dr. hloward Davis, inspecting a new textbook to be used by the department. The de- mands of the modern business world necessitate the constant change of textbooks in the business curriculum, especially in the junior and senior years. Occasionally the head of the School of Business, Dr. Zimmer, holds a faculty meeting to discuss various phases of business education and student prob- lems. Ideas and information concern- ing improvements within the depart- ment are discussed. 19 •f •;■ V i- ii i )., .jr-!. . ' l-». :ji Vk. V.r ' i.. .!.
