HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL OF BUSI­ NESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS The School of Business Administration and Economics was created out of the departments of Business Administration and Economics in September 1955. The school was organized for the following purposes : 1. To provide a program of profes­ sional education at the college level to prepare young men and women to occupy positions of responsibility in business and government. 2. To train teachers of business and economics. 3. To prepare students for clerical and THE SPEAKERS' TABLE at the installation banquet of Delta Xi Chapter.

The DELTASIG of DELTA SIGMA PI 33 On March 6, 1957, a group of twenty. four students, along with Professor Jones and Dr. Lloyd met officially and in­ augurated the local business fraternity of Phi Beta Chi for the purpose of "en­ couraging scholarship, social activities, and the association of students in eco­ nomics and business for their mutual ad­ viwcement by research and practice, of promoting a closer relationship between students and the business world, and for promoting a higher standard of profes­ sional ethics." This group, which composed the char­ ter members of Phi Beta Chi, was com­ posed of sophomores, juniors, and sen­ iors. They adopted by-laws that were in conformity with the constitution of Delta Sigma Pi and set up standards that would bring into the fraternity only the best qualified majors in economics and busi­ ness administration.
