Dr. Boylan assumed the position of acting president from july. 1966. to February, 1967, when Dr. ,lohn E. Visser was named as the new president of the Teachers College. Beginning with the enrollment increase of 1953, there was an expansion in almost every aspect of the graduate curriculum. ln 1958 the Board of Regents authorized the granting of the Specialist in Education degree, and in 1959 the master of arts degree in English, history and mathematics. President Appoints Council Presently, the graduate program is administered by the graduate council which is appointed by the president. The dean of graduate studies administers the policies established by the council. The graduate program at the Teachers College places a major emphasis upon the preparation of teachers, librarians, counselors, supervisors and administrators for schools and colleges in Kansas. The office provides complete service to graduate students from enrollment to degree check. Assist- antships and fellowships are available to interested and capable students. 22 Graduate Program Expands Since Beginning in 1929 Graduate work at the Teachers College has progressed a long way since the college was first voted authority to offer the master's degree in January, 1929. ln 1930 the Teachers College catalog described the graduate division as consisting of five members. Majors were offered in only five fields and minors in seven areas. Thirty-six years later, in 1966, 493 master's degrees were awarded to graduating students, and enrollment in the graduate division had reached 1,014 in the fall of 1966. Majors were offered in nearly 20 fields. Expansion of the division began in the 193Ois. From 1935 to postwar period, the number of depart- ments approved for graduate majors more than doubled did the available graduate programs, largely as a recognition of graduate study for school administration and supervisors. MEMBERS OF THE Graduate Council administer an oral examin- ation for a master's degree to a graduate student. ' ini'

E iiii n mil as WLT tml Q -Q-Ll S MEMORIAL STUDENT UNION tudent nion Serves As Center of tudent Activities The 1966-67 school year was a significant one for the Memorial Student Union as plans for an addition, costing in excess of a million and a half dollars, were approved by the Board of Regents. This new area will be devoted to providing more stu- dent office space, conference and meeting rooms as well as recreational facilities. These will serve to meet the need for space that has become a con- tinuing problem on the Teachers College campus. The Union, under the direction of Richard Stoner, serves as both a center of social activity on campus and as cultural and artistic showcase. The Hornets Nest is one of the most popular places on campus as thousands of students pass through daily. Tile Black and Gold Room has been the exhi- bition area for many student and faculty art shows as well as many other exhibitions. The Music Lis- tening Room offers a wide selection of music to suit any taste whether as background for between class studying or mere relaxation. The Television Lounge affords students the opportunity to view their favorite day and nighttime shows in color. These, along with many other meeting and conference areas, provide the campus organizations with ample space for activities. Members of the Student Union personnel staff who manage the various union services include assistant directors Charles Green and Gene Black- welder, program director, James Long, director of food services, Helen Bishop, bookstore manager, Shirley Ebbertsg maintenance supervisor, Floyd Garley and receptionist, Grace Atkinson.
