TRUSTEES 0. K. NEW SOCIAL SERVICE
DIVISION FOR THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
By Bill Stephenson
The approval of the addition of
anew division of social service ad-ministration
to the Graduate
School by the Board of Trustees
of the University was announced
by President R. A. Kent last
week.
“The division of social service
administration represents only an
extension of work which has been
provided by the University for the
past five years,” President Kent
stated. “Both the beginning and
the extension of this work came
about as the result of urgent re-quests
from a half dozen or more
agencies for social work in Lou-isville
whose personnel needs
training which the division pro-vides.
Dr. Strong will continue to
be at the head of this in the fu-ture
as she has been for the past
five years. This is one of the sev-eral
fields where the University,
by cooperation with already estab-lished
agencies, is making a de-finite
contribution to the needs
and welfare of the city.”
Dr. Margaret K. Strong, head
of the department of socialogy
and social work, said that with
the new division the University
will become accredited by the As-sociation
of Professional Schools
of Social Work. This will give
students doing the required work
in the division a recognized status
as professional social workers. For
this reason the Louisville chapter
of the American Association of
Social Workers, through its chair-man,
Miss Ruth Mellor, has been
active in urging the new graduate
school department.
Of the thirty-one institutions in
the country that are accredited by
the Association of Professional
Schools of Social Work only three

ALL-UNIVERSITY BOAT RIDE TO START
ABOARD IDLEWILD AT 12:45 FRIDAY
Student and faculty stunts will
be the featured events of the
second annual all-University Boat
Ride on the steamer Idlewild,
which will leave the foot of
Fourth Street tomorrow, Friday,
May 22, at 12:45. All classes will
be dismissed at 12:30.
Former notice that tickets,
priced at fifty cents per person,
would not be sold after May 20
has been rescinded to permit sale
of tickets at the boat from 12:00
until 12:45, according to Gil
Adams, general chairman.
Last year’s Boat Ride, also
given on the Idlewild, was marked
by the hilarious antics of the fac-ulty
in their floor show. One of
the most striking acts was put on
by Charles A. Orr, former instruc-tor
in the department of econo-mics,
who auctioned off a bunch
of bananas, including the stalk, at
handsome prices.
Plans for the faculty floor show
this year are, as usual, being kept
secret. Several student skits have
been prepared. Speed School’s
famous rendition of Longfellow’s
Wreck of the Hesperus, which
won first prize at the Sigma Kap-pa
Stunt Night, will be presented
on the boat. The men’s chorus,
featured at the Women’s League
Benefit Ball, will perform. And
Chester Bower’s recreation class
will do folk dancing.
Dance music will be furnished
between times by Eddie Johnson
and his orchestra.
Students may bring their own
lunches or purchase food on the
boat.
