HUGH BUCK ELIZABETH AYRI-:s CHESTER CROW President Scrvrcfn ry Vfce.PregiflgNf Student Body Association HE year 1929-1930 has been a full one for the student body. To start off the year, nearly every member of the school attended the first meeting held just before football season. A vote of confidence in the Frogs' chances for a championship year was expressed. As the year draws to a close we find that confidence was not bestowed in vaing that the student body as a whole stood up to the promise of full support, fol- lowing her team to Breckenridge, Austin and Waco, to say nothing of the support of home games. The student body has expressly voted that whenever T. C. U. has her new stadium, the middle section should be reserved for the students. Another move has been to persuade the authorities that the new stadium should be dedicated to the champion Frogs of '29. Throughout the year the student association has been working toward the adoption of a new constitution. It is hoped that this will be completed and adopted before the year closes. This new constitution will establish a definite plan of finances for the student association, as well as bring about a better and closer organization between the dormitory and town students. The oiicers of the Student Body Association of '29-'30 are: Hugh Quin Buck, presidentg Chester Crow, vice-president, Elizabeth Ayres, secretary. TI L11

BILLINGTON HUGHES Sco'r'r SMITH . Dean of the Graduate School R. JOHN LORD has been Dean of the Graduate School since 1926 when it was first established. Much of the success, advancement and development of the school is due to his efforts. Dr. Lord is also head of the Government Department and chair- man of the Social Science Department. He received his A. B. degree from Transylvania in 1904, his A. M. degree from Syracuse in 1915, and his Ph. D. from Syracuse in 1922. The Graduate School The Graduate School of Texas Christian University is offering graduate courses in nineteen different departments of the university and there are students taking courses in all of these departments. Only teachers holding the Ph. D. degree, with the exception of a few teachers of long time standing, are allowed to offer graduate courses. This gives added strength to the Graduate School and will be rigidly adhered to in the future. Continued effort is put forth to increase the library facilities for graduate work and it is constantly im- pressed upon the heads of the various departments that the matter of building up library facilities for graduate work be kept in mind. The admission of T. C. U. to the Association of American Universities in 1928 has greatly increased the prestige of the Graduate School in that the graduate credits are accepted in any American university. The attendance this year, including the enrollment for 1929-1930, numbers sixty-nineg of these twenty- three are men and forty-six are women. The number of colleges represented in the Graduate School is twenty. There are twenty-one candidates for the Master's degree 1 in June, 1930. Eighteen of these are candidates for the DR, JOHN LORD 'Master of Arts degree and three for the Master of Sci- Dean of Graduate School ence degree. Fnrtll-two 4
