Graduate School MORAY ST. JOHN MacPHAIL Associate Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science and Director, School of Graduate Studies. Page 16 In the spring of 1960 the School of Grad- uate Studies was established at Carleton, to mark the end of the initial stage, during which graduate work was done by a few students as the opportunity occurred, and the beginning of a more broadly based de- velopment. As early as 1952, students had been accepted for the course leading to the Graduate Diploma in Public Administration. In the spring of 1954 a small committee was appointed by the Senate to consider the ac- ceptance of candidates for the Master's de- gree, and in the fall of the same year such students were admitted in a few depart- ments and in the inter-departmental School of Public Administration. The number of students and departments concerned increased gradually, and in the spring of 1959 the committee was enlarged by the Senate so as to include representa- tives of all departments offering or intend- ing to offer graduate work. In 1959-60 the number of students increased, under the stimulus and opportunity provided by the move to the new site. Eleven departments were actively concerned, besides the School of Public Administration and the Institute of Canadian Studies, and there were 110 students registered, counting full and part- time students and diploma candidates. In the spring of 1960, therefore, the present School of Graduate Studies was formed, the committee being retained for policy mat- ters, and an executive committee appointed for day-to-day decisions. In 1960-61 there have been about 40 new admissions. An important feature has been the pro- vision by the University of six teaching fel- lowships each year. These are of the great- est value in several ways. They not only provide financial aid to the students, but they also allow the students to gain teach- ing experience while studying. By reliev- ing some of the departmental loads they enable the faculty to devote more attention to the graduate students' needs. I should like to extend my best wishes to all our graduates, and especially those who are going on to higher degrees, either at Carleton or eleswhere. M. S. MacP.
