The churches have had a bit to do with deâ€" velopment of social work, and perhaps more, with the inspiraâ€" tion of social workers, he added. The president of Waterloo Luâ€" theran University, Dr. William J. Villaume (who holds a Masâ€" ter of Social Work degree) said that the new school will be a "‘ship of hope, of justice. of mercy for countless thousands" over the years ahead.

But, the profession will also be interested in the health of the family unit as a whole, and in the availability of healthy supâ€" porting group environments outâ€" side the home. The school has accepted H students for its first class this fall and successful students will receive the M.SW. (Master of Social Work) degree at the end of two years of study. The students will spend part of the time on campus and anâ€" other part working in agencies under supervision of fullâ€"time field instructors approved by the school and employed by selected social agencies.

YMCA, and other agencies with which we are more familiar,"‘ he addâ€" He noted that recently a few business and industrial corporâ€" ations have also added social work positions to their personnel departments, adding that the «‘Waterloo‘ school is very much interested in this development." _For the period ahead, the soâ€" clatl work profession will continue to be interested in the internal psychological conditions of the individual, which may be blockâ€" ing successful participation in the family, neighborhood play groups, school, congregation or on the job. â€" Dean Sheldon H. Rahn, recentâ€" ly appointed to head the new school, told those attending that, social work, while a new profesâ€" sion. has won wide acceptance.
