Beta Theta Pi Leads Fraternity Scholarship List
Beta Theta Pi, with a 1.658, maintained the highest grade average among the 22 social fraternities for the fall semester. Alpha Kappa Lambda, the fraternity which won last year's fraternity scholarship honors with a two-semester average of 1.86, was in second place for the semester with a 1.584 average.
The semester's winning average was 0.21 lower than the 1947-48 average of 1.86; but the lowest average held by a fraternity for the past fall was 1.161 as compared to last year's over-all low of 0.93.
Lambda Chi Alpha led the 11 fraternities showing improvement by advancing from 1.13 to 1.364. The all-fraternity average moved slightly upward from 1.33 to 1.357.
The fall average will be computed with the grade averages achieved this semester to determine which group will win the various awards including the scholarship cup, the Sigma Chi improvement trophy, and the brass spittoon which will go to the fraternity having the lowest grade average.
The list, computed by the scholarship committee of the Inter-Fraternity council, follows:
Fraternity. Grade Av.
Faternity. Grade A

*and the annual faculty-senior soft-
ball game.
Organized in 1924, the school under the direction of its first dean, Frank T. Stockton, had 12 instructors and 51 students. Today the enrollment is around 834 and the faculty numbers 48 men and women.
The University of Kansas was the last major university to establish a business school but within a year it had become a member of the American Association of College Schools of Business, an honor unusual for a two year old school.
To assist its graduate students in finding job opportunities the Business Placement bureau was also organized. Though at first handled by the dean, it is today under the direction of a designated member of the faculty. Frank Pinet, economics instructor, is the present director.
Soon after its acceptance in the association, the local charter of Beta Gamma Sigma, national honorary business fraternity, was granted.
Many additions to the curriculum have been made during the 25 years of the school's existence. The new courses have emphasized the importance of marketing, accounting, economic theory, and industrial management. In 1938 a course in secretarial training was also added.
"The School of Business proposes to train students to analyze and comprehend business situations and problems," Dean Leonard H. Axe said. "The aim is to develop in each student an awareness of the problem at hand, a method of approaching it, and an ability to deal with it."
After 22 years as dean of the School of Business, Frank T. Stockton became dean of University Extension.
In developing this awareness of problems the case method of teaching has been employed. Students are given actual business problems secured from real business organizations.
The Bureau of Business Research was organized at the same time as the School of Business. The Bureau, headed by Paul Malone, professor of economics, does research for the benefit of business men in the state
