The organization of the college was brought about by the community, the members of the Independence Board of Education and Superintendent C.S. Risdon, who resigned at the end of the year. The college was founded as an upward extension of the high school to provide some college education for those young people who could not afford to leave home. There were six members of the faculty in addi- tion to the librarian. These members were Fran- cis Myers, chemistry, Miss Alice May Austin, mathematics, Clayton L. Montgomery, social science and education, George Sudermann, his- 6 tory, Mrs. Majel Wood, romance language, and Theodore C. Owen, English. Miss Pearl Russell was the librarian. All faculty members taught split assignments having some high school class- es as a part of their teaching.

The freshman class totaled 49 members. ln comparison to those figures this past fall semester found over 500 students enrolled with 29 full time faculty members, three more split assignments with high school responsibilities and two were part time all college. In addition there are several people teaching one class each in the evening sessions.
