University of Southern California.

/ and Finance. Mr.. Haskins. died in
| 1904. but his pioneer work was in
large measure responsible for the
phenomenal success Of the school in
later years His firm, Haskins &
Sells, has but recently established the
Haskins Institute of Accountancy in
New York.
Henry Rand Hatfield left the Uni
versity of Chicago some ten or twelve
years ago to head the commerce
school at the University Of California.
A year or so ago he became dean
of the faculties at the State university.
which is really the vice-presidency of
the institution.
\ Among the newer men, Morton
Aldrich, dean at Tulane University of
Louisiana, is an outstanding figure
not only in the South. where he has
done fine work, but for the movement
as a whole through his tremendous
enthusiasm as secretary of the AS
ISOLATION of Collegiate Schools of Bust
ness
The organizer and first dean of the
College of Business Administration at
Boston University, Everett w. Lord
Cat one time assistant commissioner
in charge of education at Porto Rico).
has done a remarkable piece of work.
Within recent years his department
has become more widely known
through the experiment of maintain
ing a branch in Havana, Cuba, for the
study of business conditions, and par
ticularly for first hand knowledge of
trade principles and practice.
Those who were present at the dedi-
cation OF the University of Illinois
Commerce Building nearly ten years
ago recall the splendid leadership of
David Kinley, the dean. who has since
been appointed president of the institu-
ton. At the University OF Cincinnati
Frederick Hicks, former dean of COM
merce, is another example of the BUSH
ness educator, who is now head of the
entire institution.
And so one could cite at length
splendid examples of successful men in
this field: James E. LIE Rossignol,
noted sociologist, at Nebraska; VIII
lard Hotchkiss, sometime dean at Min
nesota but now consulting economist;
John T. Holdsworth, once dean at
Pittsburgh. now prominent bank
official: d. Walter Morton, first dean at
Oregon University, later educational
expert for the University of Southern
California; Arthur Swanson, some
time dean at Northwestern and now
on the board of the Firestone concern:
James Haggerty. sociological expert
of Ohio State: Leon Marshall, the
economist, from Chicago: Harlow Per-
sons. dean at Dartmouth. now manag-
ing the Taylor Society activities; Ed
win Gay. long executive dean at Har-
ward and now a New York publisher,
and hundreds of the teaching fra
ternity engaged in this field Of en-
deavor.
Here in Los Angeles the realty
board. in cooperation with the College
OF Commerce. has just completed a
real estate course which had total
registration OF 200 people. A course
in purchasing and stores by the Pur-
chasing Agents Association and one
on traffic management by the Traffic
Club are worthy OF note. What is be-
\ ing done in Los Angeles is being
done In many OF the large centers Of
/ popula ton.
