ability and energy will be an important factor in the building of COLLEGE OF HRTS ADD SCIEDCES ELZY DEE JENNINGS, Dean Dr. Elzy Dee Jennings came to Southern Methodist University in IQZZ as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. ln that same year the school was admitted to the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and was enjoying a period of extended growth. Dean Jennings stimulated that growth, and in 1933 assumed the . I . duties of vice-president of the University. This year, in the absence of Dr. C. C. Selecman, he has been invested with the responsibility of the presIdent's ofEce in the midst of an expansion program. His A lr- E' the S. M. U. of the future.

It is composed of twenty-six departments and has an instructor personnel of ninety. HEADS OF THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS J. O. BEATY . . . Englirlz J. D. BOON . . Thyricr S. W. GEISER . . . Biology H. H.

Frcnclz The academic standards of the school have been raised to a level to compare with maj or universities in the entire nation. To stimulate scholastic achievement and to reward worthy students, fifty student activity scholarships are given each year, partly on the basis of eXtra-curricular activities and partly on the basis of scholarship. Twenty undergraduate scholarships are assigned each year to the ten ranking junior girls and the ten ranking jun- ior boys. Numerous endowed scholarships are available. The school also has provided for an emergency scholarship group to include a large number of graduates of Dallas high schools who are worthy of, yet have not the means to enjoy, a college education. This award program was not curtailed in depression periods, and is justification for S. M. U.'s claim to leadership in the educational field. ' DP 21 44

THE GRHDUHTE SCHOOL I -ELLIS W. SHULER, Dem Dr. Ellis W. Shuler, with S. M. U. since its inception, is head of the Geology Department, a division of the College of Arts and Sciences. In IQZ6 he was made dean of the Graduate School and has served since in that capacity and as chairman ofthe Graduate Council. A coniirmed believer in the pursuit of higher education, he has raised the requirements for conferring the Master's degree and has organ- ized courses of study for candidates. As a result S. M. U. conforms to the highest standards set by American universities for graduate study, and now draws its share of applicants for this coveted honor. GRADUATE COUNCIL DEAN ELL1s W. SHULER, Clmirman JOHN W. BOXVYER S. W. Gisisran C. C. SELECMAN S. MClNTOSIi J. S. SENIZKER NVALTER T. VVA'rsoN C. L. TVVISSEB.-IAN DR. ELLIS W. SHULER Graduate courses have been ohrered each year since the founding of S. M. U. The original charter provided for the authority to confer all degrees. It was not until 1920, however, that this course of study was designated as a separate school. In 1926 Dr. Ellis VV. Shuler was made dean, and it is since that time that the school has evidenced its greatest development. A belief that scholars of the Southwest should be enabled to obtain training in the ways and attitudes of research without traveling to Eastern universities led to the de- velopment of a worthy course of study. The courses offered in the school are planned to meet the needs of students who wish to obtain a more thorough knowledge of the subject in which they are particularly interested, those who desire preliminary training in the methods of investigation before undertaking more highly specialized studies, and those who desire to become teachers in schools and universities. The plan for the lNflaster's degree does not place primary emphasis on research, though the required thesis and the basic grad- uate courses give ample opportunity for individual investigation. The school seeks to strengthen the interest acquired in some subject during the undergraduate period of study. It further attempts to cultivate a scholarly spirit and to give thorough training, both of method and of content, in the chosen field. VVith the advent of an extensive building program and a sustained drive to establish Southern Methodist University as the outstanding educational plant in this section of the country, much responsibility is placed with the Graduate School to maintain the scholarly atmosphere and to provide instructors with a deep conception of their fields. An increased endowment and an addition in equipment insures the qualification of this School for its part in the development of the S. M. U. of the future. bb ZO 44
