C. j. INTRODUCES
SEPARATE DIVISION
Business and Public Admin
istration Courses to Be
Held in Afternoons.

I'm charting its 138th academic
year which opens this month, George
town University furnished additional
evidence of the progressive policy that
stamps its educational trends.
With a view to widening oppor-
kunities for study and research the
School of Foreign Service opens on
Beptember 18 a separate division OF
Business and Public Administration.
These courses, in which classes Will
be held in the late afternoon, Will
emphasize the interrelated problems
between government and business.
A second change. affecting the
ceorgetown Law School, makes an
arts and science degree necessary Tor
admission this Fall Formerly only
two years Of previous college work
were a qualification for the study OF
law at Georgetown. This new ruling
places the law department on a par
with the rigid standards OF Harvard,
Yale. Northwestern, California, Pitts
burgh. California and the University
of PENNSYLVANIA law schools. There
will be no combined arts and law
course at the school.
DR.. Arthur A. O'Leary, S. j., who
Is entering upon his second year as
president of the oldest Catholic in
stitution of higher learning in the
country, has planned constantly for
the advancement of academic stand
ards at Georgetown. Graduate work
is becoming increasingly important,
not only in the professional schools
but in the College of Arts and Scien-
ces as well.
Two Added to Faculty.
Two prominent Jesuit educators
we're added to the faculty OF the
Graduate School at the college and
number of changes are being worked
out. From the presidency OF Fordham
University, New York City, largest OF
the Jesuit universities, DR.. Aloyslus
Joseph Hogan has come to George
town as the new dean of the Graduate
School. A man with wide executive
training and versed in studies OF
graduate schools, DR.. Hogan has had
the advantage of special graduate
studies at the University of Cambridge
in England.
The other is DR.. J. Wilfrid Parsons,
widely known authority in sociology,
economics and political science, VINO
also has had background OF graduate
work at Cambridge University. Until
this Summer he was editor in chief
of America" one of the leading
Catholic reviews. DR.. Parsons will be
professor of European history in the
Graduate School and lecture also on
various subjects during the year.
Students may register at George
town up to the commencement OF
classes in arts and sciences, medicine,
dentistry law, foreign service and in
nursing In recent years there has
been a decided increase in the num-
ber of students admitted from the
District of Columbia, and registration
figures to date were said to be highly
satisfactory in all departments.
The new Division of Business and
Public Administration is attracting
students who are employed in the
Government service. The late after
noon classes are at convenient hours.
The first two years of this flve-year
course 60 Immediately into effect. AS
formerly, the regular full-time ses-
sions of the Foreign Service School
will continue to emphasize interna-
tional relations and political science.
Courses Carefully Planned.
Georgetown authorities were three
wears planning the new division. 1T
is generally felt that the relation
ships between Government and busi-
ness have become so important that
a sound training for business today
requires considerable knowledge OF
the functions and operations Of Gov
ernment,' an announcement said
ION the other hand, effective train
ing for public service requires consid-
cradle knowledge of the economics
and practices of business"
Stress will be placed on research
projects in the new division of the
Foreign Service School, and these will
be conducted under trained faculty
supervision. Use will be made Of the
mass of economic, social and govern
mental data now gathered in Wash
ington. Indeed, the wealth of research
material afforded in the National Cap
ital is largely responsible for the grow
ing interest in graduate studies.
Admission to the new business di-
vision is limited to mature students
