EDUCATION. "This volume traces the development of the College and catalogues the contributions of its many students and faculty members.. Provides those interested in the College with an extremely valuable resource by recording vignettes offered by many of the College's distinguished early graduates.. There are may ways to measure the academic quality of a college of business administration, but none provides a better measure of success than the career accomplishments of its graduates.. Dick has helped document these numerous leadership contributions.. The major thrust of the book and its first section come from the many graduates of the College of Business Administration from 1927 through 1992 who participated by interviews or by letters and audio tapes. Hence, this history should be more interesting than would be a more administrative ly oriented history.. The second section is a chronology of major events for the College.. The third section features the graduates of our programs through the years.. The next two sections list our faculty and our administrators through the years. The appendix includes a copy of the address of Dean Asa Knowles for the dedication of Ballentine Hall in 1967 and excerpts from the dedication program.
