lil DIVISION OF GRADUATE STUDIES IVeW Maftefff Degree za eefueezfzen Dr. Snyder, Dean of Graduate Studies was one of the busiest men on the college faculty. Among his and his staff's regular duties were the following: 11 to co-ordinate both on and off-campus classes, 21 to process, approve and decide admission material and requirements, 51 to approve transfers, 41 to supply faculty for graduate studies, 51 to keep accredi- tation up-to-date. As if regular duties were not enough, a new credit system in California for prospective teachers will make it necessary to rennovate the division within the next few years. The division involved more post-praduate students this year than it has for several yearsg by all indications it will continue to grow. Besides numerical growth, the graduate program has con- stantly broadened. Under the new credential system Pasadena College can offer a program involving all credentials both on elementary and secondary levels. For twenty-five years the Graduate Division offered an M. A. in religiong this year it offered an M. A. in education. There was word that other M. A.'s were to follow. It is well that P'Cinians keep a watchful eye cocked on this division. With its capable staff working hard toward its development, it could prove very profitable to many who are now undergraduates. pf DR. HARVEY B. SNYDER Dean of the Graduate Division MRS.

Culbertson, Dean of Pasadena College for fourteen years, inspired the thinking of students and faculty alike in the field of psychology and personality development. During the years of his study and teaching, Dr. Culbertson revealed many insights of great philo- sophical and religious value that have heightened students, perspective of the Christian life. ' He summarized his insights into six thoughts: Q11 The Principle of the Margin, Q21 The essence of prayer, Q31 The Common denominator of Success, Q41 The sacramental view of the whole of life, C51 Salva- tion primarily by the life of Jesus Christ, and Q61 The relationship between communication and good personal, social, and spiritual health. He proved this by the way he lived and taught. According to him, these ideals will add richness and usefulness in the Christian walk. Only the challenged Christian student who made a point to know Dr. Culbertson received full benefit of what he was and what he said in teaching them. .

DEA T DE T frzknd of all fiudefzff Dr. james Jackson, Dean of Students in the last two years, contributed a great deal of service in administration and speech. Having learned a great deal, he passed on to students many new insights into the problems of life and the Christian experience. Dr. Jackson declared that service to the present age challenged him, for in serving as dean, he could give aid to young people who need direction while in the most decisive moments of life. With his training in communications, he became more and more aware of the way in which people react to certain symbols used in the interchange of ideas. In communica- tions one can learn a conscious understanding of the other persong This value, 'he says', is one of the most important in the redemptive life. Dr. Jackson further states that the task that is set before us is to rebuild and redeem the soul, mind, and bodies of our fellow men, for others seek to destroy and betray these gifts that God bestowed upon us. It was Dr. Jackson's prayer that he have wisdom from above to carry out his duties and to fulfill that task that God called him to do. MRS. I.. DECKER Attendence Clerk
