MARTIN Arkansans who play a vital part in the development of Henderson State Teachers College are the members of the Board of Trustees. These seven persons formulate the policies which are responsible for the college's rapid growth. The Board acts as general controller and manager. College officials depend on this group for authority to ad- minister affairs and to help with decisions. It derives its funds mainly from legislature appropriations since Hender- son is a state college. The Board serves as a governing and administrative body, and in this respect it decides college policies, elects staff members, and decides on new campus construction and work. As individuals, the Board members are people who have taken time from their personal affairs to help Hender- son in its rise to greater achievements. Chairman Rison CARLETON CHAMBERS GUY E.

General Colle e- General Education The General College and its faculty are charged with the orientation. guidance. and basic studies of students during the first two years of college. lts pur- pose is to provide a student with a general education which may in turn be described as that non-vocational, unspecialized education possessed by the well-informed person in our society. The Basic Course of the General College is undertaken in seven parts which are ar- ranged to emphasize primary skills first and then to present certain fundamental understandings in a fashion which will increase the breadth of outlook of a student and prepare him to continue in a more satisfactory way his education and his life. This program is operated to keep its studies under continuous revision. ln this way each group of students leaves behind an im- proved basic course for those who are yet to come. DR. C. M. STRACK Dean of General College Graduate Studies - the final building block Every Monday night, graduates flock to Henderson for their graduate studies. This was made possible in 1954. when the Henderson Board of Trustees approved a fifth year program of advanced professional educa- tion for Henderson. General cultural studies. a student's chosen field of specialization and the field of professional education are the areas covered by the program. Candidates for admission to graduate studies must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution or be within three semester hours of graduation. Unless special conditions occur. the candidate must have an average grade point of 2.50 or a 3.00 point average for the junior and senior years. The maximum load for a summer term is six hours. For a full-time teacher or a fulltime employed student, three hours a semester is the heaviest load available. A fulltime graduate student may carry twelve semester hours. DR. C. W.
