passports to academic adventures autoiomhpkityrideas, our product people Mindful of the differing backgrounds and educational achievements represented by each person who joins our community, we have established curricula compatible with these differences. The majority of our study programs are directed to a large segment of our student body whose educational talents are similar. But we recognize, too, that our community includes individuals whose talents merit advanced programs or whose academic differ- ences require programs designed to remedy their deficiencies. Our undergraduate programs are designed to serve the individual to the degree that our physical and financial resources permit. A significant graduate program is possible only where a solid undergraduate program and physical plant exist. Our graduate program is in its infancy; but we believe it has merit commensurate with the academic integrity that fosters it. Acknowledging that our great strength lies in teacher training, we have limited our graduate program to students who wish to advance their professional degree in education. We offer only the masters degree in education. Central Hall, dating from 1904, reflects scars of passing years.
