Dormitory facilities were provided to accommodate student from across the state. With a small faculty of less than fifteen, some of whom did not have a college degree, the faculty grew to more than forty - all having a college degree more than half with masters g one with a specialist degree. The curriculum ex- panded from basic subject matter to a multi-discipline program.
