DR. J. T. WILLARD P)R. JULIUS TERRASS WILLARD has been on the staff of Kansas State Col- lege since his graduation from here in 1883, except for one year of graduate work in chemistry at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity in 1887-88. Dr. Willard has been vice-president of the college since 1918. In 1897 he was made professor of applied chemistry and chemist of the experiment station in 1900, director of the experiment station and in 1901, professor of chemistry. From 1909 until 1930 he served as Dean of the Divi- sion of General Science. Doctor Willard is a life member of the Kansas Academy of Science, a fellow of the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science, and a member of the American Chemical Society. In the fifty-one years that Doctor Willard has been with the college, he has gained wide recognition in the field of chemistry and as an official of the college. JESSIE McDOWFLL MACHIR THE office of the Registrar is primarily concerned with keeping an accurate record of the results available to the stu- dents, to other institutions, to honor so- cieties, and to social and literary organiza- tions. Until the year 1881-82 the records were kept by the president of the college with the help of an assistant. In 1882 secretaries were hired to serve for the college year. In 1911 the academic records and financial records of the college were kept under one supervision, but with the appointment of Mr. J. C. Christenson as financial secretary, the work was divided. At that time the position of the registrar was established and the appointment of the present incumbent as the first registrar became effective September 1, 1913. In the last few years this office has taken on a new significance, and the discovery has been made that much of statistical value is found in the study of the grades earned by students. It is fast becoming a laboratory for research in education, the grades being used as a basis for thesis material for graduate study. Page 11
