Great interest has been manifested
| throughout Virginia on account of the
| introduction OF the school OF com
merce, business Administrations and ac-
countancy in the college. So often
business men assert that they believe
in college education, but have de-
clared that it should be libernlized and
made more practical.
| They wish college to conduct
courses that will maintain high stan
dard OF scholarship. but as all degree
courses in the purely liberAlsartH
courses have from a third to n hNlf OF
the work optional they have expressed
an opinion that the optional work can
readily be taken from a group Of
courses that prepare men. for business
liam and Mary proposes to- meet these
needs. 1t Is generally heAeYed that
this will be one OF the most pepniar
courses in the college. .-
