FROM THE PRACTICAL'ANGLE
IT TS A CONSERVATIVE conjecture that Penn
State will become a .university in the near future. But
this nominal expansion threatens to be superficial un
less, at the same time, steps are taken toward inter
nal expansion. Paramount is the establishing of a
School of Business Administration!
Next year, according to official reports, approximate
ly 320 juniors and seniors will lie enrolled in the com
merce and finance curriculum, with about the same
number of students who will take that curriculum list
ed In- the lower division. In other words, more than
lUIO students will study commerce and finance. And
there will be some 2,400 more, not majoring in that
curriculum, who. will elect courses in commerce and
economics.
Will this enrollment warrant a change from the de
partment of commerce and finance to the School of
Business Administration? Emphatically yes!
The enrollment in the School of Mineral Industries
will not approach these figures. The enrollment in the
School of Physical Education and Athletics will be far
behind. Those of the Schools of Education and Chem
istry and Physics will be only slightly higher.
Under the proposed setup, the required educational
background would he confined to the freshman year,
with elective courses continuing throughout the three
later years. Elementary principles of business and eco
nomics would be given in the sophomore year.
■ Under the present setup, what average student can
claim that he has a complete command of a foreign lan
guage after completing the twelve required credits in
language? And what average student can claim that
this language will be invaluable to him' in his business
career? And what student con say that he learned even
the principles of scientific reasoning hy taking Physical
Science 7 and 8? The answer is “none.”
Vet these are some of the courses in which the pres
ent setup is requiring the student to waste hours that
could he better spent in introductory commerce and fi
nance courses. If a student comes to Penn State to
study commerce and finance, let him study commerce
and finance, and not courses required by the whims of
well-meaning culturists. If he would like to take such
courses as electives, then, by all means, allow him to do
so. BUT DON’T STUFF THEM DOWN HIS
THROAT!
Comes the question, “Does the type of training neces
sitate a separate school?*' Penn, Pitt, and Temple have
found it so. Penn State will eventually find it so, when
it realizes that it is side-tracking students with unneces
sarily. required courses and is providing only 17 instruc
tors rn commerce and economics for .1,000 students—or
180 students per instructor.
Under a School o? Business Administration, there
would he ao haphazard formulating of courses. Cer
tainly, what courses are offered now give the student
little opportunity to acquire a thorough knowledge of
certain business subjects.
According to the College Bulletin, there are six sem
ester hours offered in business law. Compare this with
the offerings of Penn with 2ft semester hours in busi
ness law, Piu with 10, and Temple with 12. 1
In accounting, Penn State offers 18 semester hours.
Compare this with 10 offered by Pitt, 10 hy Temple, 2ft
by Penn, and 27 hy Lehigh.
The blame for this does not fall upon the department
of commerce and finance. It is earnest and sincere in
its effort to provide adequate business preparation. It
does fall upon the School of Liberal Arts for ignoring
its responsibility to commerce and finance students. IT
PALLS UPIN THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS
FOR CONTINUING WITH ITS SENILE, COMPLA
CENT ATTITUDE OF PREPARING INTELLECTU
ALS FOR A PRACTICAL BUSINESS WORLD!
Until a School of Business Administration is estab
!i«hed, certain honorary fraternities —Alpha Kappa Psi
among others—will absolutely refuse to Induct chapters
here. And industries will continue to seek the well
trained men of Penn, Pitt, and Temple, influenced to a
great degree hy the prestige or their established busi
ness schools.
But the benefits of a separate school would also ex
tend to the School of Liberal Arts. It would then have
ample opportunity to expand its present facilities for a
liberal and cultural education.
It lies within the power of the Board of Trustees to
create a School of Business Administration. But the
responsibility for acquainting the Board with the
lion lies with those students to whose welfare it vitally
pertains. You students who are desirous of receiving
the )>est possible training for a business career are the
ones who should write to the Board of. Trustees, asking
their thorough consideration of the matter. Or better
still, petition them as a group interested in its own wel
fare and that of future business students. The Trus
tees will then realize that GOO students can’t be wrong!

Lehigh and Muhlenberg carried
their rivalry into the realms -of the
intellectual when their tennis met in
a spelling contest over station WCBA

In a pre-event story, the Lehigh
newspaper stated, “The Lehigh team
is one of the leading teams, having'
defeated the spellers of the Moravian
College for Women in the initial

do things in a big way.)
However indirectly. Michigan’s
track team is relieving local unem

won by the undefeated Wolverines
