Training in Special Field.

1T is the aim of our courses in busi-
ness administration to give a liberal edu-
cation with a considerable amount of
training in some special business field.
The fields at present covered are
general mercantile business and COM
insurance, general accounting. railway
traffic and accounting and railway opera
ton. The registration In these courses
has increased rapidly in the last few
years. So far as we can determine the
courses meet the needs Of business en-
ployment as nearly as any that could be
devised.
Numerous and constantly recurring
calls from business establishments come
in the form of requests for the nomina-
ton of candidates for positions and in
visits to the university by representatives
of leading business concerns In the state

students in employment in their estab-

1.-THE demands vary from time to time.
At the present time the demand comes
principally from mercantile houses, f1nan-

insurance companies and firms Of public

was more largely from insurance COM

the same period the total attendance has
been i'm the neighborhood of 5000. OF
the 1900 graduates, the school has the
addresses and information regarding the
work of about ZOO. One thousand of
them are engaged in pharmacy, over
100 have been graduated in medicine.
about twenty-five have specialized hn
chemistry, while the remainder are en-
gagged in various professions and pur-
suits. That the larger number who have
remained in the field for which their
training best fitted them is indicative Of
the technical character of the instruction
given in the school and it's helpfulness in
the preparation of young men for the ca
reer of the practical pharmacist.
