Dean Kenneth E. Anderson Hoch Auditorium the school of EDUCATION The School of Education looks to the future when it will move into Bailey ' s remodeled labs in the summer of 1956. Complete architectural plans, with considerations for the present school needs, are now completed. The building, formerly housing various kinds of labs, will be redone to house the guidance bureau, the departments of music, art education, speech correction, and the bureau of visual aids, now lo- cated in Strong hall annexes. Each of these bureaus will have a floor in the west wing of the building. The building will be air conditioned because of the large enrollment of the school during the sum- mer session. Enrollment in the School of Education has risen about 20 per cent from last year ' s figure, and Dean Anderson anticipates greater growth when the school moves into its new quarters. At present, there are 550 undergraduates and two hundred graduates enrolled. - .V

THE COLLEGE of liberal arts and sciences Dean George R. Waggoner is the new ad- ministrator of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Dean Waggoner, formerly of In- diana University, was appointed last spring to succeed the late Dean Paul B. Lawson. Two other new faces on the staff of the College are Dr. M. L. Thompson, chairman of the geology department, and Dr. Geoffrey Moore, visiting Rose Morgan professor who is teaching in the English department. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has two functions, first as a preparatory school for specialized schools, and secondly as an independent school awarding degrees. Some of the departments of the College are larger than other schools of the University. In this way the College serves as a basis for many of the separate schools of KU, as well as functioning as a separate school itself. The Pioneer George R. Waggoner, the new dean of the College.

Civil and aeronautical engineering were added as departments this year. Along with the depart- ments of chemical, electrical, and mechanical engi- neering, these new departments are offering grad- uate work in Kansas City for the first time. The first master ' s degrees will be offered in 1957. Recent gifts to the school include a turbo-jet en- gine, an automobile engine and equipment, a die- casting machine, television sets, two Air Force liai- son airplanes, technical books, funds for scholar- ships, and various parts and machines. About 100 business companies will interview graduates this year for positions through the co- operation of the school. Dean T. DeWitt Carr That ' s Marvin Hall behind the i ivy.
