Realty Attractive Feature.
Probably the most attractive of the

finance and business administration
and which, apparently, is attracting
the largest number of business men
to enroll for the course, is the realty
course, in which a thorough course in
real estate law and allied subjects is
offered.
The university has recognized the
efforts of the American Realty Asso-
citation to prevail upon the larger
universities throughout the country
to add courses in real estate, to be
taught by professors qualified in the
field, in an effort to put the business
upon a professional footing. and by a
system of instruction made available
to business men acquaint them with
the possibilities for enlargement of
the scope of the business, and also to
warn against sharks in the business
The course will be conducted by
competent instructors who have made
study of the subject, and Is not a
series of lectures by real estate men,
who may be well qualified to deal
with certain phases of the subject,
but, in most cases, who have very
little knowledge of the subject in it's
entirety. The subject Is commenced
with the ordinary real property di-
visions, and is developed through the
entire field, including psychology of
advertising and salesmanship.
Emphasis on Branches.
Among the branches on which en-
phasis in the study of the subject is
based are: Running down land
titles. acquisition and conveyancing,
preparation of papers, deeds, etc;
brief outline in untechnical language
