M MstmtioH Without a strong administration a college can- not function. Middle Tennessee State College, one of the five state colleges in Tennessee, enjoys ex- cellent supervision from a well-qualified administra- tion. Located on a 375 acre campus, the college has twelve departments and offers a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts degree, with additional op- portunity for a Master of Arts in Education. The Branch General unit of the Reserve Officers ' Train- ing Corp offers opportunity which qualifies for a commission in the armed forces upon graduation. w the past decade buildings and equipment have increased in value by more than $4,000,000, and the new library, now under construction, will add $450,000. Founded in 1911, the college has grown until now over two thousand students are enrolled. hi this section the Midlander staff introduces the administrative staff, the faculty members and their departments.

H()N()l AliLE FhANh (i.CLEWEP T Governor Frank G. Clement, keynote speaker of the 1956 Democratic National Convention, has made him- self known in his home state as a good friend to education. The first Governor of Tennessee to be elected tor a four year term, he has proved his in- terest in a balanced program of progress for the Volunteer State, and has worked to meet the chal- lenge ot the expanding classroom needs for all levels of education. His sponsorship of better educational opportunities for all Tennesseans has encouraged those associated with education in the state. Governor Clement is a man of high ideals and deep religious convictions. It would seem that he set a goal early in life which he is achieving step by step. An outstanding leader in high school, college, law school, and the Army, he has the distinction of being the nation ' s youngest chief executive. Al- ready recognized as a leader in the National Demo- cratic Party, he has been compared to William Jennings Bryan in his ability as an orator by out- standing political figures. lU) A l II OF E n U C A T I n N ' ' The Board Guides the Policies of MTSC ' Seated are W.
