STRONG'S DEPARTURE.
Elaborate Course In Journalism and
Business ct X. U.

Chancellor Frank Strong of the
Kansas university has issued an an
nouncement concerning the new
courses in general business, banking,
insurance, Journalism, and domestic
science. Chancellor Strong says the
courses are made necessary by the
fact that the whole aspect of business
has changed in the last Is years.
In the announcement Chancellor
Strong says:
1.-The attention of graduates of high
schools and other students is called
to the new courses offered by the Uni
VerSity of Kansas, preparatory to
career in general business, banking.
Insurance, Journalism, and domestic
science.
There seems to be no doubt as to
the need and demand for such courses
and the university feels it duty to
come as closely as possible into con-
tact with the life of the state.
THE work of the university is more
advanced and exhaustive than ever
before. The large number of instruc-
tory facilities make possible a wider
range of courses and larger oppor-
tunity for advanced work. About 500
courses of study are offered, which
cover nearly every profession and de-
partment of work for which a univer-
sity can legitimately prepare students.
The following courses are designed
to offer a definite programme of study,
leading to the degree of bachelor of
arts, for the large number of men who
enter business from the university.
The whole aspect of business has
changed so much in the last twenty
five years as to make it possible and
necessary for the university to offer
the large and important class of men
who are to enter business somewhat
the same definite assistance that it
civ
lawyers, etc. This has been made pos
sible by the extensive development of
late years of special courses in lang
uage, history, mathematics and econ
Omics.
1T is not expected that the universe
ty can do more than to organize into
programmes of study leading to definite
ends such courses as may now be Of
fered and such others. few in number,
as it may be possible to add. The uni
versity does not seek to furnish that
large portion of business training
which can come only from experience.
It undertakes to give the fundamental
and specialized courses OF study that
illustrate the economic forces That con-
troll the business world. 1t aims at the
same time to give the cultural training
which is indispensable to a thoroughly
enlightened citizen
