Graduate School On October 1, 1959, only thirty years after Henderson State Teachers College be- came a state college, Dr. D. D. McBrien, presi- dent, announced to the faculty and students that the North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools had accredited the graduate school program on this cam- pus. This approval assures Henderson gradu- ates that work done toward a master ot science in education degree will be accred- ited by an institution of higher learning. The approval represents another step tor- ward in education, not only for Henderson State Teachers College, but for the entire state of Arkansas. Dr. Waldo Dahlstedt guides one of the graduate students in her choice of curriculum. Dr. Cecil Thomasson, Dean of the Graduate School, registers a graduate student for second semester. The graduate program was started on the Henderson campus in the summer of 1955 for the purpose of offering work leading to the training of teachers on the graduate level. Since that time there have been around 500 students admitted to do graduate work in pursuing degree re- quirements during the summers, and Sat- urday and Monday night classes. Accord- ing to Dr. Cecil Thomasson, a total of 152 students have already received the master of science in education degrees from Hen- derson State Teachers College before the be inning of this school year.
