Uie Reveille has related the academic and physical growth of Fort Hays State for 50 years Although the college was founded in 1902 — as the Western Branch of the State Normal School at Emporia — it was not until 1914 that the first volume of the Reveille ap- peared. This date coincided with the school receiving its first new name, Fort Hays Kansas Normal School, Liberal arts degrees were authorized in 1930, and graduate work was first offered in 1929, The school became a college in 1923 when its name was changed to Kansas State Teachers College at Hays, and eight years later, it was renamed Fort Hays Kansas State Col- lege to conform to its broader scope as a liberal arts college. The college ' s general objectives are to develop foun- dations for understanding man; to promote the apprecia- tion of cultural values; to teach the skills of acquiring additional knowledge, and to help students acquire concepts, facts, and skills necessary to a given vocation or profession. Fort Hays State is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the National Council for Accreditation of Teachers Educa- tion, the National Association of Schools of Music, and the American Association of University Women.

In 13 years as president of Fort Hays Kansas State College, Dr, M, C Cun- ningham has become a familiar per- sonage to thousands of Western and Central Kansans, Always available to make a talk, open a school, crown a queen, or in other ways give of his time and ef- forts, Dr. Cunningham has made the college s name rise as a symbol of ser- vice over the state. Besides this spirit of assistance and cooperation, though, there stands the record of solid achievement that he has established since 19 9, An almost 250 per cent gain in enrollment; a 60 per cent increase in faculty; and an aver- age of one building or remodeling pro- ject a year are all evidences of the pre- sident’s concern for providing high- caliber instruction and proper facilities for the youth of Kansas. Even more important is the presi- dent ' s insistence on quality in Fort Hays State ' s educational program, and under his leadership the college has rapidly gained stature in the academic world.
