THE COLLEGE AT WORK RATHER THAN the time-honored method of treating the administration and the faculty by separate de- partments, the Golden Anniversary PRAECEPTOR wishes to present in picture and paragraph a panorama of personalities, just as one might observe them on a conducted tour of the campus. Stopping first at the office ofthe presi- dent on the second floor of MacLean Hall, we observe the administrative head of the institution at his desk. General policies of all Minnesota teachers colleges are de- termined by the State Teachers College board of nine, Dr. Gilbert L. Gosslee being the Moorhead resident member. To Miss Jennie Owens and her as sistants falls the work of registration and the keeping of records, whether student credits or financial accounts. Living quarters, social life, and matters of personnel in general come within the scope of Dr. C. P. Lura, dean of men, and Miss Mabel Lumley, dean of women.

PRESIDENT R. B. MACLEAN, who guided the affairs of the College succesjully through the trying days of lhe fre and reconstruetion. with it the old Model School and the library, and severely damaging the central heating plant. Only Weld Hall and the dormitories were left. UNDER PRESIDENT MACLEAN,S resourceful leadership, however, and with the enthusiastic support of alumni, students, and faculty, classes were reorganized, temporary classrooms were carved out of every available niche, and, order once again came out of chaos. It was under these difficult conditions that faculty and student body carried on for two years until in May, 1932, the great rebuilding program for which the state had appropriated Z765,ooo, was completed. THIS BRIEF ACCOUNT necessarily omits mention of many who have contributed greatly to make the College what it is. Those who served unselfishly as resident directors, however, we cannot omit. They include MR. Coivrsrocx, THOMAS C. KURTZ AND GEO. N. LAMPHERE C92-'99, MR. CGM- STOCK C96-'ggjg CARROLL A. NYE COO-,O3Jg MR. CoMs'rocK C04-'o7Jg MR. NYE and L. A. HUNTOON CO8-,IIDQ MR.

GossLEE C'32-'37l- WE ARE LOATI-I to close also without tribute to another man who, though never connected with the College in an oH'icial capacity, was probably acquainted intimately with more faculty members, past and present, than anyone else-- the un- official historian of the College and beloved pioneer citizen-BENJAMIN F. MAGKALL, who passed away April'I9, 1935. TODAY THE COLLEGE stands upon the threshold of a new era of usefulness to the Commonwealth of Minnesota. Majestic even in ruins was Old Main, as only the outlines of the three traditional arches stood the day after the fire of 1930 .... Construction days hegan soon after the fire-toward the building ofa larger and more modern edueutionol center .... Smiling and happy qre these three young students as they catch a glimpse ofthe new Moorhead Teachers College whieh was to he .... DR. G. L. Goss LEE, resident director of the Teach- ers College, to whom helongs some of the credit for the present-day institution.
