GRADUATE COLLEGE R. E. Buchanan Dean of Graduate Colhu c B Uack in 1872 one Idiit ' candidate fur an advanced de- jii ' cc tornied tlie entire student body in the newlv-m-jianized (iraduate Cui- le- ' e. Last }-ear more tlian a tliousand students seel ing- masters ' and doctors ' degrees were registered in this high- est division of Iowa ' s institution for higlier teelinical education. For many years the graduate work of tlie college was administered by a connnittee on graduate work. But as the eni-ollment grew, higher degrees became more and more attractive. Finally the difficulties of administration in- creased to such an extent that the administration of all graduate work was placed in a separate division to be known as the Graduate College (so the catalog of 1913 states), presided over by a dean. The largest number of degrees was given just before the war — in 1917 — but during the war the attendance was cut about 40 percent. Althougli it has been only in the last two decades that graduate students hav e enrolled in considerable numbers, Iowa State College ranks thirteenth in the list of universities in the number of degrees of Doctor of Philosophy conferred in the sciences and technical subjects.
