A sos r' X GradluateuSchool N 1892, four students registered in the newly founded Graduate School of VVestern Reserve University. In 1925, the enrollment numbered one i hundred six, and in the fall of 1926, two hundred l lifty-nine students matriculated. In order to better accomplish its purpose of acl- vancing research and training teachers, the school has been reorganized within the past year. lt now has a teaching staff composed of twenty members of the university faculty, nine of the School of Edu- cation, and two graduate professors, and olters training for the higher degrees in a wide variety of fields. The studies are conducted chiefly by the seminars, laboratories, and library research courses in education, chemistry, and history. The school is dependent upon tuition and the support ot the t other departments of the University, since it has as yet no endowment. Close cooperation, not only with the colleges and professional schools of VVestern Reserve, but also with the educational and scientific organizations of Cleveland makes possible extensive research work. Under the new plan, the public health, social ser- vice, and educational organizations of the city, the Museum of Natural History, the Reserve Histori- cal Society, the Public Library, and various indus- trial plants are utilized as laboratories 'for study, and will share the benefits of research.

CUTLER Dean of the School of Applied Social Sciences HE School of Applied Social Sciences is the lirst of its kind ever established within an American university. It was founded in 1916 by a unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees as the result of a peti- tion addressed to them some three years earlier by a committee representing social and civic organiza- tions of Cleveland. The need expressed in this petition became the aim of the School: to provide practical training for social service by combining specialized graduate study with actual Held work. In the first tive years, only two courses, Public llfealth Nursing and Family Case Work, were of- fered by the School. ln 1921, the course in Child XYelfare was begun, and in 1923,-one in Group Science. At the present time, plans are being made for a course in .Public Administration, which will probably be added to the curriculum next fall. In the decade of its existence, 'the number of students has increased from thirty-live the hrst year to one hundred seventy-seven at present. The School of Applied Social Sciences is one of the three professional graduate schools of the Uni- versity. 'l.'herefore, a full college course, with specialization in the social sciences, is required of all candidates for the Masters degree which the School confers. However, special students may be admitted to courses in which they are interested. l l l Z A' 'T 1,4105 E 9 5 3 1 i f? ff di , fd 5 1 Tiff we f e .H 'l 'mm' I 'ull' 5 ,fu . , ...... ., , , ,. . f 1- -1- ' : ' Pagr lem-1zf3.,!,lym FJELLA Wig-7,fQ: ...- -hlwk'

C lF Al ' ' . . . umnae Association si fi . . Zhu l A ' V 1113 Alumnae Association of the College for NVomen seeks to keep in touch with the 2,150 f V graduates of the College in the following ways. K The Association issues four times a year the V Alumnae Bulletin which, under the direction of the l Chairman of Publicity, prints news of the Associa- tion, articles about the College, the faculty, and il individual alumnae. The Association has fifteen regional branches throughout the country which meet as often as they 1 wish, for social or business purposes and which T help to keep girls who have gone to VVestern Re- serve University in touch with the life of the Uni- . versity today. Frequently a member of the faculty or some officer of the Association meets with several X of the branches in order to bring them word directly A . from the College. These branches are situated in 1 Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Wasliingtoii, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, California, and in the following Ohio localitiesg Akron, Lakewood, Youngstown, Lake County, Fremont, Lakewood and South High school in Cleveland. Q M Our Alumnae Council is composed of five rep- ' f resentatives from each class who work under the direction of the Chairman along the lines of Pub- licity, Finance, Membership and Entertainment. TVTARGARET CLEVELAND U President This group meets at the College in November for ANNA LOUISE SLUSSER an all day Conference with Regional Branch dele- Secretary gates and the members of the Board of Directors. At this Conference an opportunity is given to visit - college classes, to hold Round Table discussions on the different phases of the work of the association and to meet socially with other alumnae and with members of the faculty. Reports are also given by all out of town delegates representing the branches. This fall Conference is a new departure but a most hopeful adventure in the life of the Association. I The Alumnae Fund increases each year with the help of subscriptions from individual members and the gifts of the Anniversary Classes and regional branches. Because of the splendid support which has been given to this fund L it has been possible each year to give a larger sum to the College and to have ' more money available for Student Aid purposes. - J Since January 1924, the Association has had a full time Executive Stecretarv l to work with the Board of Directors in carrying on the ever increasing amount oif ,li work of the Association. Miss Anna-Louise Slusser is the Secretary and is in if charge of the Alumnae office in Mather Hall. This office tries to keep an ac- currate record of all graduates and former students and through its geographical -e ' files is helpful in keeping the regional branches in touch with new residents. In D fact the Alumnae office assists all twelve directors and gives valuable assistance Z to the committees in charge of all the varying phases of work which the Associa- r y tion undertakes. ,4 5 X 51' w e --i-- Page Thirty A QL Zim? ,,,, Q. .-- Q,
