School of Education by JEAN STAINTON ONCE The Chemistry Building, Boiley Hull now houses The School of Education. For fifty-one years, Kansas University has had a School of Education. Established in 1909, the school's curricular offerings have been constantly expanded. Today, it offers professional curricula for the preparation of prospective teachers. A complete program of graduate study promotes educational research and provides professional services to educa- tional institutions in the area. The School of Education is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. In the fall of 1952, there were 426 enrollees in the undergraduate pro- gram. Today, there are 925 enrolled in the program. These students are juniors and seniors except for those enrolled in physical education in the freshman and sophomore years. The school offers ten degrees, up to and including Doctor of Philosophy. In each of the last six years, fifteen persons have earned the Doctor of Education or Doctor of Philosophy degree with a major in Education.
