DEAN OF GRADUATE SCHOOL Dr. Wilson F. Payne The Graduate School requires appli- cants to take the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business. Multiple applications prevail at the graduate level as they do at the college level. A report by the Educational Testing Service for the year 1964-65 shows that 210 candi- dates requested that their scores be sent to Babson and to other graduate schools also. The list of over sixty graduate schools throughout the United States which were paired with Babson in the candidates, choices reveals an interesting pattern. The five schools most frequently paired with Babson were fin orderj Bos- ton University, Northeastern University, Harvard Graduate School of Business, Boston College, and University of Mas- sachusetts, all local Banking sixth through ninth were Wharton, Columbia, Dartmouth fTuckj and New York Uni- versity. The local pairings accounted for 51176 of the choices, the next four only 17920. Several colleges, including M.I.T. and North Carolina, were tied for tenth place. The significance of this list, aside from the good company it reveals, is two- fold. The first observation, and one which is reinforced by our own studies, is that the majority of students prefer to take their graduate work near home. The second and perhaps more engaging observation arises from a study of the other fifty colleges listed. Although they comprised only a third of the paired choices, a reader is impressed by their nationwide distribution. They range from Stanford, U.C.L.A., U.S.C., North- western, Chicago, Michigan, Michigan State to Cornell, Syracuse, Rutgers and others in the east.

DEAN OF FACULTY The DEAN OF FACULTY origi- nates plans for the next academic year by the teaching projection, recruiting new faculty members Cin cooperation with Division Chairmenj, and by com- municating data on book orders to the Bookstore. Dr. Walter H. Carpenter, Ir., serves as Chairman of the Academic AHairs Committee, the Faculty Rank Committee and the Tenure Committee. Graduate Assistants receive their initial Division assignments from the Dean of Faculty. Finally, and most importantly, the Secretary to the Dean of Faculty keeps in touch with students and faculty members alike as she helps solve signiH- cant problems. The chief concern of the Oilice is academic in nature both in terms of cur- riculum and people. Both these concerns occupy much of the Dean,s time. The operation of various administrative ser- vices rests largely in the capable hands of the Secretary to the Dean, Mrs. Mary A. Boyle.

EVENING PROGRAM DIRECTOR Dr. Frank C. Genovese President Iohnson in his message to Congress of January 12th, 1965 said, . . The role of the university must extend far beyond the ordinary extension-type operation. Its research findings and talents must be made available to the community. Faculty must be called upon for consulting activities. Pilot projects, seminars, conferences, TV pro- grams and task forces drawing on many departments of the university -all should be brought into play. This is a demanding assignment for the universities and many are not now ready for it .... Thus the outside pressures are acting to urge expansion of the func- tions and services of institutions of higher education. Those institutions which heed these calls may reap great rewards. Babson started in this direction with its Evening Program. It is now looking into further expansion via Title I of the Higher Education Act of 1965. May this effort, too, be crowned with success! In better servicing its community, the school better serves its stu- dents, its faculty and its administration. 42 l
