Placement Bureau Has Good Opening for Accountants
Professional Requirements
High; Compensation
Is Good, Says
Blocker
FOUR PAGES
The bureau for placements of the American Institute of Accountants, a national professional organization, which attempts to place approved college students in accounting positions at the accounts without charge to the students, offers attractive possibilities to college seniors, according to Prof. Blicker, of the School of Business.
The committee of the Institute which is directing the activities of this bureau consists of practising actuary and an associate professor of point men just graduated from college. "They realize,," and Professor Blocker, "that many college graduates have been taught to them, and they have formulated definite methods for selecting men for selection." It has also been likely to be contented and successful. In the period of two years during which this plan has been in operation, 120 professors of colleges in the country have been placed in positions and practically every one of these men is making a contribution.
Requirements Are High
Men who enter the accountancy profession through this medium occupy a favorable position for their work. Blocker The requirements as to personality, character and mental ability are high, and they must have a careful record of his progress, and since no man are selected who are in charge of the place in the profession, the committee is anxious to do anything possible to assist these men to justify its requirements.
Compensation Is Good
According to the statement issued by the bureau, the method of approach used by the accountants is based on the belief that the student should work independently and then make his own decision as to whether or not he wishes to take up this work. A booklet has been prepared for free distribution which describes the work, opportunities and compensation of the accountant in the job.
The booklet states that the com-
pensation of public accounts com-
pares favorably with that of preci-
tuality of other employees who
do that training in account
ney has a unique advantage, in that
it is probably the best possible pre-
paration for almost any kind of com-
merial or industrial executive post
Further information in regard to this placement bureau can be obtained from the School of Business office or business department of the business placement bureau.

Famous Architect Visits University to Make Address
Doctor Trowbridge Speaks on Task of Educating People to Know Fine Arts
"Art education is a much larger task than merely touching people to understand," said Dr. Alexander Brad Trowbridge, Washington, D.C., noted architect and director of the American Institute of Arts, in Fine Arts day conversation with Spooner-Thayer art museum. The dedication service was part of the program of the annual day celebration during music week.
Concerning the contribution of an art museum, Doctor Trowbridge said that outside of the necessary technical instruction in teaching people to paint upon the great hay public, believing that good art is bound to develop in communities where there is chance to appreciate beauty in art.
Mr. Trowbridge was acquainted with Mr. Thayer, donor of the University's collection, having met her a month earlier at Prairiewood on Cane Collec. "In the light of what I have seen in the gallery and from what I have been told, I should just happen, if it could be that, with unflagging energy and devotion to an ideal. Her generosity was promitied. She did not hesitate to mention her personal pleasure nor did she reserve to a late date the decision to remember the University of Kansas in her will. It is a reminder of a number of years an intention to contribute to the cultural development of the men and women of your Uni- tory, and to what his imagination has conceived. "To the literal-minded: the expression of art as a universal language; to what his language is necessary when we gain emotional and spiritual uplift in the presence of great art. In one's effort to give art excitement, he sees because execution always looks so far behind imagination. Yet one also finds complete joy and absorption in his attempts, for there is anything else in life."
Angela Was Like Morgan
"A friend of mine remarked that he considered Michael Angelo the Pierrepont Morgan of his time and that if the great masteres of the Renaissance civilization, they would be in Wall Street as captains of industry, for art was the big absorbing vocation of the geniuses of those days, and the most important artists are captains of industry. They fully realize its value."
"A strangely neglected, yet marvelous opportunity lies before us in a field but slightly scratched as yet—perhaps because of our pernicious the beauty of athletics.
The extreme expression of modern art is to me 90 per cent. I enjoy the beauty of security. One element which modern painters cannot safely ignore is the age old demand for a
"The greatest satisfaction will come in the consciousness that your efforts will show art relation to every life interest and the learning process, and enriched by this concentration of beautiful things which separately, few would ever be able to enjoy," concluded Mr. Trowbridge referring to the University's art museum.
