school of botany The Henry Shaw School of Botany functions as a divi- sion of the College of Liberal Arts and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences but is unique by virtue of its association with the Missouri Botanical Carden. This association affords a much larger staff of instruc- tors than would otherwise be possible and also places at the disposal of students the excellent library, herbar- ium, arboretum and other botanical facilities of the Carden. The School is well known for its graduate instruction and in most cases the doctoral theses are published which indicates the significant results of the research. The high calibre of graduates of the School is attested by the important positions which alumni hold as teach- ers, researchers, and administrators in universities, botanical gardens and in government service.

ln addition to the undergraduate program the School operates a large and active graduate division offering both lVl.B.A. and lVl.S. degrees. The graduate program, which emphasizes the professional management concept, is so arranged that holders of degrees from colleges of liberal arts and engineering, as well as from schools of business, can begin graduate study directly without the necessity for completing any pre-requisites. Beyond the development of superior curricula, which is its first responsibility, the School is participating in an expanded service program to the business community. A number of faculty members are engaged part-time in research on busi- ness problems. The School sponsors various business institutes and conferences and participates in an expanded evening study program. In addition, plans are being completed for offering a management development program for men already holding executive positions. Because of the close partnership existing between the St. Louis business community and the School of Business and Pub- lic Administration at Washington University, there is every reason to believe that this School is keeping pace with business developments in this metropolitan center and that it compares favorably with the best schools in the country.
