Dedication and Perseverance lead the graduate student to higher planes of learning. Graduate School Graduate projects such as this one in the Biology department bring us many discoveries. More than 14 per cent of FSU ' s student body is en- rolled in the Graduate School, now the most rapidly expanding division of the University. Master ' s degrees are offered through all departments of the University except Nursing. New doctoral programs were activated this year in History, Mathematics, and Physical Educa- tion. Graduate Assistantships are available through the various departments and include teaching or research duties along with the formal course of study. Research being an integral part of graduate educa- tion, special facilities are being developed in parallel with the numerical growth of the Graduate School. This year was the first year of operation of a Computing Center utilizing an electronic digital computer. It was also the year in which the first of two particle accelerators was installed for research in nuclear sciences. Long still hours are spent in the quiet corners of the library by the conscientious grad student. 24
