HISTORY AND PURPOSE
THE New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations was established in 1944 by act of the New York State Legislature. It is the first institution of its kind in the country. The School has three major functions: undergraduate and graduate instruction; extension; and research; and information. It began its first teaching term on November 5, 1945.
The Legislative Committee which recommended the establishment of the School stated its purpose in the following terms:
"One of the most important ways of improving industrial and labor relations is to bring together, in a common training program, repre­ sentatives of both labor and industry. W hat is important here is not merely attendance at the same institution or in the same school, but rather mutual and cooperative analysis of the problems common to both groups. These representatives of industry and labor will later on meet around the council table as negotiators for their respective inter­ ests, often as spokesmen for alternative points of view or policies. If they have become acquainted with one another through a common training program, that—in itself—would be a valuable step toward mutual understanding and appreciation of differing attitudes. Under­ standing and good-will are engendered by the sharing of a common background of experience. A common background is one very specific coofnitnridbuusttiroinal wanhidchlabsuocrhrealatsicohnoso. l could make to the future stability The School is equipped to provide training for those who look forward to professional careers in industrial and labor relations. The first two years of the undergraduate course include the principal social sciences, English, and public speaking, together with introductory courses in economics, labor economics, and accounting. The last two years are devoted to an intensive study of the technical subjects essential to effective professional service in the field of industrial and labor relations in government, in industry, and in labor organizations. The graduate curriculum offers advanced training in industrial and labor relations. It is conducted through seminars and field research. Relevant courses in other divisions of the University are open to graduate students majoring in the areas of concentration offered by the School.

Many responsible leaders in government, industry, and labor have indi­ cated to the School that there is a growing need for persons trained at the college and graduate levels in the principles and procedures applicable to ef­ fective labor-management relations. Although professional training of the kind offered by the School is developing in other institutions, its program is perhaps the most comprehensive and intensive available today. The location of the School at Cornell University, moreover, provides broad opportunities for study in related fields. Students, both undergraduate and graduate, will find many possibilities for further specialization in particular aspects of in­ dustrial and labor relations through the various course offerings available in the University.
The increasing participation and interest of government in labormanagement relationships over the past fifteen years has opened many new careers in government service. Both industrial concerns and labor unions are, moreover, utilizing a larger number and range of specialists in various activi­ ties within their organizations.
New careers of a specialized nature are continuously developing. Indus­ trial Education is a rapidly expanding field both in vocational and technical schools and colleges and in industry. The School offers a broad program of graduate training in Industrial Education in close cooperation with the School of Education of Cornell and with the State Department of Education.

SELECTION OF STUDENTS
B ECAUSE of limited housing and teaching facilities, the School’s enroll­ ment in September 1946 has been limited to 248 undergraduate and 12 graduate students. The inquiries and applications during the first year indi­ cate that many more students will wish to enter than can possibly be ad­ mitted. Consequently, a careful individualized selection procedure is necessary.
In selecting students, the School’s Committee on Admissions will en­ deavor to secure geographic representation of all parts of New York State. A limited number of students from other states and other nations will be admitted. The School will seek to maintain a balance in its student body of those interested in careers in government, labor, and management. Because of the housing situation for women at Cornell, for the time being, the School is obliged to limit the enrollment of women.
The Committee on Admissions will select students in terms of the following criteria: 1) Academic preparation: Evidence of the satisfactory completion of the secondary school curriculum is required. Fifteen units of academic subject matter, including English, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, and Foreign Language are recommended. Since the first two years of the curriculum are heavily weighted with the social sciences and demand heavy reading assign­ ments, the applicant should be able to read rapidly and with understanding a wide variety of materials. In exceptional cases, mature applicants who have not completed high school may satisfy entrance requirements by submitting evidence of intellectual ability gained through individual study or work ex­ perience. Such students will be classified as special students until they demon­ strate to the satisfaction of the School their ability to carry successfully the academic program of the School. 2) Personal Qualifications: Demonstrated ability to work cooperatively with other individuals and groups and for leadership in promoting these coopera­ tive relationships will be given substantial weight by the Committee on Ad­ missions. Representatives of the School will interview all applicants, either at Cornell or at designated centers in New York State. The interview, together with records of high school or other activities, which indicate qualities essen­ ctioanl stiodeerfefdecitnivethperoffiensasliosnelaelctsieornvicoef icnanidnidduastetrsi.al and labor relations, will be

3) Work Experience: Evidence of work experience in government, labor, or management, either on a full-time or a part-time basis, is desirable. Students who have not had work experience will be required to spend their first summer in gainful employment.
The School follows the admission procedure of Cornell University as described on pages 27-34 of the General Information bulletin of the Uni­ versity. The official application blanks (listed below) can be obtained from the Director of Admissions, Cornell University. In addition, each appli­ cant is required to submit a 500-word statement (preferably typewritten) indicating his background and interest in the field of industrial and labor relations.
The required materials are: 1) Form A for students entering college for the first time, or
Form A2 for students who have attended college. 2) Form B. Principal’s report on character and personality. 3) Form C. Secondary school record to be supplemented with Regents
reports, College Entrance Examination Board reports, etc. 4) Two recommendation forms. 5) Certificate of vaccination. 6) Health record. 7) Official transcripts from any other collegiate institution, which the ap­
plicant had attended. 8) 500-word statement of interest in industrial and labor relations. 9) Money order or check for $25 deposit on registration, which is returned
if the candidate is not accepted. (Veterans need not submit this deposit.) The above materials, required of all applicants, must be in the hands of the Director of Admissions by the following dates: For spring term: December 1, 1946. For fall term: March 1, 1947. The Committee on Admissions of the School will begin the review of ap­ plications on the above dates and will as speedily as possible notify all persons of the decisions.
TRANSFER FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS The School will accept a limited number of students who have attended other collegiate institutions. Such transfers are, however, usually costly to the individual in terms of credit, since the program of the School is highly prescribed.

THE UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM

THE following outline of the curriculum indicates its scope and special­ ization. Complete course descriptions can be found on pages 18-28. It will be noted that the curriculum of the School is prescribed in great de­ tail. There are, in fact, only 21 elective hours in the four-year program. Most of the courses of the first two years are offered by the Faculty of the Col­ lege of Arts and Sciences.

INTENSIVE COURSES The School hopes to develop in the future intensive courses of a year or less duration for men and women already engaged in industrial and labor relations, who wish additional training. Space and staff limitations preclude immediate expansion in this field.

SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES Since all regular students of the School spend their summers in work training, the full curriculum is not offered in the Summer Session of the University. . To place the facilities of the University at the disposal of those persons who have a part of the summer free for study, the Summer Session offers courses ranging from one to six weeks in length. Beginning with the summer of 1947, the School of Industrial and Labor Relations will offer a limited number of courses designed to meet the needs of persons in government, industrial, and labor organizations. Prospective students should apply to the Director of the Summer Session for the Announcement which will be avail­ able about February 1, 1947.

LIBRARY In spite of the acute problem presented by the depletion of publishers’ stocks during the war, satisfactory progress toward building up an adequate book collection in the field of industrial and labor relations has been made. At the same time, the organization of a current periodical, newspaper, and serials collection has been under way. Two important collections of noncurrent books and documents have been acquired and additional materials are being constantly added. It is expected that the collection at the School will eventually take its place as one of the most complete in the country.

VISITING LECTURERS The School regularly brings to the campus leaders who are engaged in industrial and labor relations in government, labor, and management groups. These men and women usually lecture to the student body and are available for informal discussions. In addition, the Mary Donlon Lectureship provides funds for outstanding speakers on workmen’s compensation and related social security subjects.

WORK-TRAINING PROGRAM
EVERY candidate for the undergraduate degree from the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations must have completed thirty weeks of work-training (or its equivalent) off the campus. These programs are designed to give the trainees first-hand experiences with the viewpoints, problems, and procedures in the conduct of industrial and labor relations.
During the first summer (after the Freshman year) students, who have not had previous work experience in industry, will be expected to spend at least ten weeks in gainful employment in industry. This part of the required work-training is being waived for all veterans. The student will be responsi­ ble for securing the job in industry or business, but the School will assist in every possible way. The gainful employment should preferably be in a fac­ tory or office.
During the second and third summers, every student will be required to work for ten weeks each summer in a governmental organization, a labor union, or with management.
The School, in cooperation with employers, will place the trainees on jobs during the last two summers. A trainee will usually be paid by the employer the standard wage for the job which he does. Students who have possible contacts with prospective employers can secure the permission of the School to work in a specific organization. However, students should confer with the office of the Director of Student Personnel before approach­ ing any employer.
During the summer of 1946, more than 100 students were engaged in work-training programs. Although most of the students were located in New York State, others worked in Colorado, Maine, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, and Alaska. Students were employed in federal and state governmental agencies, local and international union offices, and in in­ dustrial and commercial establishments.

THE GRADUATE CURRICULUM *
HE School offers the following areas of specialization at the graduate level: Collective Bargaining, Mediation, and Arbitration; Human Re­ lations in Industry; Industrial and Labor Legislation and Administration; Labor Union Organization and Management; Personnel Management; So­ cial Security; and Industrial Education. Admission to graduate standing is determined by the Graduate School. In general, undergraduate specialization substantially equivalent to that offered by the School is a prerequisite for admission to the Graduate School. An applicant’s work experience and other relevant activities will also be taken into account. Subject to the over-all limitation of the number of stu­ dents which the School may admit, graduates of accredited institutions who are without the necessary undergraduate specialization may apply for ad­ mission as special students. If such students are admitted, a period of from one to three terms is usually required in order to fulfill requirements for admission to the Graduate School. The School offers an opportunity for candidacy for the degrees of Master of Science in Industrial and Labor Relations (M.S. in I.L.R.) and Ph.D. Students concentrating in the field of Industrial Education will, upon successful completion of the requirements for the Master’s Degree, receive a Master of Science in Education. Residence, language, and other require­ ments for each degree will be found in the Announcement of the Graduate School (1946-1947) at pp. 9ff. and pp. 18 ff., respectively. In general, a minimum of two terms of residence for the M.S. and six terms of residence for the Ph.D. degree are required by the University. (For the Ph.D. degree, a maximum of two terms of work may be done in absentia). For the M.S. degree, four courses in each term, or their equivalent, in addition to the preparation of a thesis, will usually be required. Courses may be selected in other divisions of the University. A wide range of specialization within the field of industrial and labor relations is, therefore, possible. For the Ph.D. degree, field experience or internship may be included as part of the candidate’s research program. Details as to courses, thesis, examination re­ quirements, and other procedural matters, may be determined by the appli­ cant upon admission to graduate standing in the School.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

FOR several years Cornell University has been offering a program of graduate study in the field of industrial education. This program has been concerned with the preparation of teachers, supervisors, and adminis­ trators for the field of industrial education. Much of the work was aimed toward meeting the needs of persons engaged in the field of industrial edu­ cation in the public schools of the State; some of it dealt with the problems of training in industrial organizations.
In the spring of 1946, this program of graduate study in industrial education was transferred from its previous location in the College of Agri­ culture, and is now an integral part of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Students working in this field may undertake programs of study leading to the Master of Science in Education degree, or the Doctor of Philosophy degree.
The M.S. in Education degree is administered jointly by the Graduate School and the School of Education. In carrying forward this program, the work is planned jointly by the School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the School of Education.
The requirements for the Master of Science in Education degree are somewhat different from those required for the Master of Science in indus­ trial and labor relations. Details of these requirements will be found in the Announcement of the School of Education.

As the program of graduate study in industrial education is concerned with meeting the needs of persons engaged in work in the public schools, the summer session and extension programs are important parts of this work.
The courses in industrial education offered during the regular school year are open to qualified upperclass undergraduate students as well as othnolyse tpourgsruaidnugagteradstuuadteenwts.orkT.hCe ouorfsfeesrinngusmpbelarnedneidn fthoer h1u9n4d6r-e1d9s47arearoepeans follows:

EXTENSION
The extension program of the School is designed to offer courses in the field of industrial and labor relations to labor, management, government, and civic groups throughout the State. In addition, on-campus institutes are being planned to accommodate those persons who are not in a position, because of their responsibilities, to spend a long period of time away from their work. Members of the resident faculty and of the extension faculty will participate in the extension and institute program. Persons interested should address their inquiries to the Director of Extension, School of Indus­ trial and Labor Relations.
Correspondence courses are not being offered at the present time.
RESEARCH AND INFORMATION
The research program of the School covers not only matters of a cur­ rent informational nature arising largely from specific inquiries on the part of government, labor, and management, but also embraces long-range proj­ ects. The research activities of the School’s staff are coordinated through the office of the Research Director. Cooperation with public and non-public agencies in this field is planned. Moreover, through thorough planning of gctiorvaoitdpyue,aratsetuivptehplelyesembsyetnottpheidecsS,bcyahnocooinlotreadgnirdnaattoeidtohneprrwodgiitvrhaismitohnoesf roreesfseeatahrrcechhUpinsriovbgeerriasnmitgys.deoTvfheilosotphaeecdr­ universities, will prove helpful in the establishment of a comprehensive re­ search program.
