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.

The new building will be the center of research and teaching activities, the biophysics training program and a new environmental health laboratory. Completion is expected in April of l96l, and it is something to which any engineer will be proud to have access. One of the annual events sponsored by the Engineering School is the Engineering Exposition in April. Each department has a display, and a trophy is awarded to the department with the best display.

DEAN KENNETH ANDERSON The school offers undergraduate curricula at the secondary and elementary school levels. At the secondary level, concentrated programs are available in the language arts, social studies, and science areas. Students enrolled in the curricula need no minor teaching area. Otherwise, a teaching major and minor are required. At the elementary level, an area of emphasis is elected in one of twenty-one fields. A minimum of twelve hours is required in this field over the regular requirements for the degree. The school is presided over by Dean Ken- neth E. Anderson, who became dean in 1952. Dean Anderson was recently awarded the twenty-first Science Education Recognition Award and was selected as the first chairman of the board of directors of the newly-founded National Council for Research in Education. Dean Anderson said, regarding the growth of the school, I like to think it's because we offer quality programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
