State Legislature creates Alabama Pol teelonie Institute . 7 fffx , f dd 1 1 l , fi -4 'X1L Q . . ,. 9 0 . ,- w x N X f T H A C H 1902-1919 VXI, D O W E L L 1920-1928 F- Y an act of the Alabama Legislature, on January 27, 1899, . ' 7 the Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College became ' is Alabama Polytechnic Institute. The new name, often ab- 5 breviated API, became familiar to thousands through the 435- years. The new API offered students nine courses of study: Chemistry and Agriculture, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Pharmacy, a 2-year course in Mechanic Arts, Agriculture and Pharmacy and a General Course . Six fraternities were on campus at the turn of the century. A Hop com- mittee of 16, including five of the faculty, planned the school dances. The 16 coeds must have had a whirll They, like the men students, stayed with towns- people until Smith Hall, the first women's dormitory, was completed. Alumni Hall was built for the men. In 1918, under the Smith-Hughes Act, Auburn was named to train teachers of vocational agriculture. During World War I, the entire API band, with typical Auburn spirit, volunteered as a unit and was the first American band to march into Berlin after the armistice. In 1946 the first women were admitted into the band as majorettes. Four years later they were allowed to play instruments. Dr. L. N. Duncan became president of API in 193 5. He had to deal with the financial problems of the depression years and ready the institution for its strategic role during and following World War II. Dr. Ralph Brown Draughon, acting president in 1947 and president since 1948, has directed the institution during the period of its greatest expansion, enrollments have doubled, new buildings have been constructed, faculty has been strengthened and enlarged, research and graduate work has been re- designed to spark the state's expanding economy. Today, instruction is being offered to more than 8,000 students. During the last two years an increase in staff members has resulted in the further de- velopment of the engineering school research program. The Graduate School, a top university feature, had an enrollment of 829 students during the Fall of 1959. In addition to a Ph.D. in seven fields, a Doctor of Education degree is offered. The master's degree is offered in 29 departments. During the fall quarter of 1959, Auburn attracted students from twenty six foreign countries.
