FEATURE BY • AMANDA MAY BLACK & GOLD history This is the 175th academic year at the University of Iowa. 2021 also marks 100 years since the business school was elevated to college status. To commemorate these huge milestones, we are taking a look back—literally in photographs, with a flashback tour of Phillips Hall, and in the story of a pioneering accounting alumna you may have never heard of—Mary E. Murphy (BSC27). Come along for the ride back in time! 16 IOWA LEDGER 2021
OLD CAPITOL 1914 NOW& 1895 NOW& Class of 1898 2022 & SCHAEFFER HALL STEPS How we got here . The University of Iowa has always been a leader in providing opportunity to all individuals. The university has proudly accepted qualified students from all races and sexes since its founding on February 25, 1847. In fact, Iowa was the first public university in the country to accept women. It was less than ten years after its founding that the first business class was offered—political economy (an early form of macroeconomics), which was taught as part of a moral philosophy course in the Liberal Arts history department. As the century turned, the demand for business education grew. In 1908, the university added “commerce” to the School of Political Science. In 1921, the school gained college status and its first dean, Chester A. Phillips, for whom Phillips Hall was named. One hundred years ago, enrollment at the College of Commerce was around 100 students. Today that number has grown to around 4,000 students. The college’s name changed again in 1959, exchanging the word “commerce” with “business administration” to reflect the breadth of business studies offered. A few years later, in 1961, the degree shifted from Bachelor of Science in Commerce (BSC) to Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). You can see reflected in our alumni notes on page 30.
