Show THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE AND FINANCE . XN a recent talk before the students of our School of Commerce, Professor Mears of the School of Business Administration of Stanford University defined business as follows: "Business," he said, "is a profession, or if it is not, it is a near profession and is coming to be called a profession, and it is one of the most important callings today, because it is woven around all other fields." In no place is there greater opportunity to learn business today than in our under graduate and graduate schools where one may receive training in almost any line of busiess. To practice law or medicine one must have from four to six years of training. Why should not the same hold true in business in order to be properly qualified? One of the functions of the School of Commerce and Finance is to prepare students to ultimately go into the different fields of industry. Many of the largest corporations of the state are taking a considerable number of our young college graduates into their ranks. As time goes on, more and more of those who have trained for business will be called to cope with the great and vital problems of industry and to help solve them. Thomas A. Beal, Dean of the School of Commerce and Finance. [33] |
