Graduate Division The Graduate Division is the State College branch of the Graduate School of the consolidated University of North Carolina. Its function is to provide graduate training in the sciences and technologies of agriculture, engineering, textiles, and vocational teacher training. The urgent need for graduate instruction leading to research in these fields is recognized by the leaders in the occupations which depend upon the development of these branches of industry. Moreover, unless graduate study and research in the technological and related fields are provided, the institutions of higher learning in this section of the country will look elsewhere for trained men, whereas there should be a fair balance of such men from every section of the country. Graduate students have the advantages offered by the Agricultural Ex- periment Station, the Engineering Experiment Station, and the Research Laboratories of the Textile School, in addition to the regular laboratories used for instruction. Individually developed courses of study lead to the degrees Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. In addition State College offers a Pro- fessional degree to its graduates who have performed outstanding professional service. Z. P.

School of Textiles A new era has dawned upon the oldest industry in civilization. The con- tinual development of natural and synthetic fibers through research has greatly widened the uses of textile products, and has increased almost boundlessly the horizon of textile knowledge. These developments provide increased opportunities for trained men and women: trained for research, production, manufacture, design, and economics. Young people with scientific and technical training, initiative, and im- agination have always been needed by the textile industry. The School of Textiles offers qualified individuals the opportunity to acquire the educational preparation necessary for success in filling this need. This training, based on a study of science, technology, management, and art, coupled with a strong, general college education, results in our modern, perceptive, research-minded textile graduate. The public-spirited manufacturers of North Carolina recognize the value of progressive textile education. Through the N. C. Textile Foundation they have helped bring to the School as teachers outstanding experts in various fields of textiles. In return, the industry profits by drawing for leadership upon a pool of scientifically trained personnel. M. E. CAMPBELL, Dean FACULTY OF SCHOOL OF TEXTI E. B. Grover, T. R. Hart, A. H. Grimshaw, W.

Division of Teacher Education The Division of Teacher Education at State College is responsible for the undergraduate and graduate training of teachers of Agriculture, Industrial Arts, and Trade and Industrial Education for the white schools of the State. The chief function of the Division of Teacher Education is to provide the professional courses for the students electing to become teachers, the general and technical courses are provided by other schools on the campus. The professional training involves residence courses in psychology, visual instruction, principles of teaching, methods of teaching and secondary educa- tion. It also includes directed teaching experience in selected schools away from the campus. Members of the faculty of the Division give very close supervision to the trainees while away from the campus doing directed teaching. They also carry on a research program, prepare teaching materials, and render other professional services to teachers in the field. The demand for teachers in the above fields is much greater than the College has been able to supply. PROFESSOR T. E. BROWNE, Director FACULTY IN DIVISION OF TEACHER EDUCATION T. E. Browne, L. E.
