GLASS TECHNOLOGY In line with the development of Toledo as one of the world's great glass centers, the University has established a graduate study program in the field of glass research. The program began in the fall of 1947 as an undergraduate option in glass technology in the field of general engineering. Two classes! were graduated from this program prior to its discontinua- tion in .lune 1950. The present graduate program was inaugurated in Sep- temper 1950 and has attracted students from different regions in this country as Well as from other countries. Students in the program last year included one from China and one from India. Both men intended to return to their own countries after graduation. The graduate program is administered jointly by full- time University faculty members and specialists from the Toledo glass firms. It comprises a detailed study of glass technology, glass manufacture and a number of related scientific and technological subjects. The Glass Technology program is under the direction of Walter V. Burg, professor of chemical engineering.

E ENING SESSIO MR. BRENTON W. STEVENSON Evening classes at the University of Toledo were among the first classes established. During the last seventy-five years, fifty thousand Toledoans are estimated to have taken courses in the University Evening Sessions. Until 1921, there were more evening students than day students. Work offered in Evening Sessions is of regular University calibre and is fully accredited. A degree may be earned by evening study alone in Law, Business Administration, Engineering or Arts and Sciences. About ten per cent of the Evening Session students already have college degrees and about half of these are working for a second degreeg other students take classes because of some interest or value the work has for them aside from a degree. Evening students attend many of the University social and athletic functions. They are mailed the Campus Col- legian, student newspaper, weekly. Mr. Brenton W. Stevenson, Director of Evening Sessions, is a friendly, thorough and understanding adviser, as Well as a good administrator. He also edits the University bulletins. Mr. Stevenson is capably assisted in both jobs by Robert J. Burns, Jr., Assistant Director of Evening Sessions. Left to right-Hancock, L., Stipp, P., Stevenson, B. W., Burns, R. J., Jr. 26

Mr. Mowers also is adviser to Student Council. REGISTRAR The main functions of the Registrar's Office may be classified under five general headings: admissions, attendance, recording, registration and statistical data. The work in admissions is concerned chiefly with evaluation of high school records and advanced standing records. The office maintains a record of all excessive absences and tardiness for both day and evening classes. Academic records are kept here and analyzed. Grade cards and unsatisfactory notices are sent from this office to students, parents and deans. Transcript records and records for graduation are checked by this office. The big job of registering students falls on Miss Hazel D. Geiner and her staff four times a year. Included in registration are all the schedule changes, typing of class rolls and compiling and publishing the directory of students and staff. The ofhce also pre- pares many types of statistical reports each year. Miss Geiner became registrar here the year after she received her master's degree from the University. She is a past president of the Association of Ohio College Registrars and is active in the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
