ADMINI Emporia State, Kansas' leading teacher-training institution, did not achieve its position by accident. A strong faculty through the years is only part of the storyg administration plays an im- portant role in defining goals, in mapping programs and securing personnel to carry them out in order to reach those goals. More than ever before, the College is aware of its obligations of service not only to the students while in college, but to teachers Director, Resident Instruction throughout the state and nation, to alumni, and to education everywhere. DR. NATHAN BUDD In fulfilling these roles, the Col- lege provides students with expert and conscientious counseling service. It is a meeting place for teachers in all fields, and it is a research laboratory for the improvement of teaching and learning procedures. RUTH SCHILLINGER V. T. TRUSLER Dean of Women Dean gf Men DR.

From the President . KANSAS STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE OF EMPORIA OFFICE OF 'ms PRESIDENT May 24, l957 In the years since 1865, Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia has made great strides toward better preparation of teachers and librarians for Kansas. Although we can look back upon those years with pride in our progress, we must remember that the work is still unfinished. For progress is not static. We can measure its rate and determine its direction, but we must not view it as an accomplished fact. We stand today on the threshold of a period in which far greater accomplishments are not only possible but necessary. We must make a sound education available on a wider scale than ever before we must produce still more teachers and librariansg and we must equip our young people so that they are able to preserve the fine traditions and heritage of our democracy and to extend its benefits and blessings. We must see to it that each gifted Kansas high school graduate who wishes to attend college may do so. Such a task is not easy. It requi-res the best efforts of all of us - students, alumni and faculty. It requires support and guidance by the Regents, the Legislature and the people of Kansas. But we can dedicate our best efforts to no more fruitful purpose than this. 8 f John E. King h President

RATICN One of the great losses of America's potential strength felt deeply by the Administration of the College is the large number of able high school graduates who do not continue their education. To help this situation, the College maintains both a scholarship committee and a student employment service to assist students who need such help. In addition, the College through its Endow- ment Association encourages in every way possible the gift of scholarships to deserving students by industry, labor, and civic organizations. Students are graduated, but their ties to the College remain. For in- stance, the placement bureau keeps their credentials on file , helps bring future teachers and prospective em- ployers together. There is no project that the College will not undertake within budgetary limits if it feels that im- provement ofits own program, or im- provement of education, will result. DR. ALEX A.
