This structure houses the School of Business and Public Administration, built in l923. Since that time Dunclcer l-lall has been the scene of much activity and hard work.

Now at Ralston Purina . . . Three basic courses are offered to the aspiring industrial magnates: business ad- ministration, public administration, and for- eign service. The school is well equipped with complete laboratory facilities for classes in accounting and statistics. A reference library is also maintained for student use. ln recent years the Department of Retail- ing, under the direction of Wenzil K. Dolva, has rapidly expanded from the former status as a department under the Business School program. The school was initiated by down- town retailers who saw the need for instruc- tion which would prepare students for a career in retailing in its many phases. They donated a grant of 375,000 to obtain a faculty and to get the department started. The pro- gram as executed now offers not only regular retailing courses but part-time employment in downtown stores to give the student practical experience in the field. Charles Duncker, lr. may be justly proud of the school which bears his name. lt is a constant inspiration to students to strive for scholastic achievement. .giicoof of gufiinedfi an puggc .fgclminidfrafion
