Eight persons were graduated in '16, but since that time, graduating classes have increased constantly in size and have established a high standard of scholarship. The experiences of those formative years demonstrated the advisability of transferring two of the non-college divisions to other institutions. With the additional room created, the Junior College department expanded rapidly. In 1919, the name was changed to The Junior College of Kansas City, Missouri. By removing two other bulky divisions to trade and high schools, the way was cleared for tremendous growth in the collegiate department, A division of Engineering was established. No further changes have been made since that time in the arrangement of departments, save that the Business Training department has shared the rapid growth of the Junior College, The Junior College of Kansas Cit institution of its kind in the world.
