' x Montezuma II, the last Aztec emperor of Mexico, was noted for his improvements and construction. Like him, the administration and faculty of East Texas State College have a great interest in these things. Dr. james G. Gee, president of the college, could easily be remembered in East Texas State history as The Builder, not only because of the impressive panel of buildings that now adorn the campus, plus the proposed College Union and housing projects to be built in the future, but also for his interest in building the intangible qualities of education. President Gee has a great interest in building a sound aca- demic and cultural program as shown through general studies, Forum Arts, and other improve- ments in the curriculum. The faculty, the most important part of any college, also shows a keen interest in improve- ment. As the faculty increases in numbers, there is a like increase in the number holding ad- vanced degrees. Approximately 53.4 per cent of the East Texas faculty members have earned the Ph.D., or equivalent degrees. Seven others have doctorates pending and many are working toward the goal. Thus the great growth of the physical and the academic phases of the college indicate a sound growth toward stronger programs for the future.
