GRADUATES GRADUATE OFFICERS Hartwell Martin. Katherine Northcutt, Dr. Joseph Roemer, Rex Kemp. Dr. Andrew W. Hunt, and Ellen McRey- nolds. In order to meet the need for the ever increasing demand for better trained teachers. McMurry Col- lege in 1951 organized a graduate school in the field of education. After the Texas State Agency granted their approval of the program, in August of 1952. twenty eight members of the first graduate class of Mc- Murry College were hooded at the commencement exercises with the degree of Master of Education. The graduate program has been most successful at McMuny for it has offered to those participating highly individualized instruction and opportunity for research and study in the field of their particular need. The Graduate program promises a good future with the ever increasing demand for graduates in education. An integral part of the graduate program is the in-service-program with the Abilene Public Schools, in which McMurry offers consultant service to the schools.
