®(s)©= @®©= 016 KflcKor? Y ' . =©« •• Greater E. T. S. T. C. Much of the progress of this year in our school can be traced to the recent appropriation of the State. Out of this fund a magnificent new auditorium with a seating capacity of 1100 which in beauty is unsurpassed by any in the Soutlp was added to our school. Tliis auditorium was formally opened to the public on Monday evening, November 28th, with a comedy entitled, “The Family Upstairs.” The standard of the school has been rising gradually for a number of years, especially since the institution became a College. In 1926, the first year as a col¬ lege, we received admission into the American Association of Teachers Colleges; then in December 1927, we secured unconditional admission to the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. Since we are now a member of this Association, our students will be accredited without discount in the leading schools of the country. Additional books have been bought for the library amounting to $4500; making about 10,000 volumes. Grading on the grounds has been going on at various times during the past year, with the result that the Western front is greatly improved in looks. Our laboratories are rapidly installing new equipment, having spent over $5000 for additional apparatus, models, slides, diagrams, stuffed animals, and fowls. What will probably mean more to the school than any other project is the erec¬ tion of a new demonstration school for which $180,000 has been appropriated. The State appropriated an additional $30,000 for a central heating system which will be installed in the near future. This outline indicates the material part of the school progress and leaves un¬ said much of the other progress of the school that may be seen on every hand. The students, alumni, and teachers hope and confidently expect that the progress will be even greater in the years to come. —Sara Jobe. Page Seventeen ®= 1928
