In 1927, Dr. Sprague organized a four year program, changing Montciair from a Normal School to a Slate Teachers College. The years before had been spent in persevering preparation for the major role he was to play in the field of teacher education. He has, as president, led us through years of prosperity, depression, and war, until now, our college has become one of the finest of its kind. Under his administration, enrollment has been more than doubled, part-time extension, summer session, and graduate work for the Masters degree have been developed. Furthermore, many spe- cial activities and departments have been established. During this period of expansion, regional and national accrediting associations inspected and approved the college; Montciair became a member of The American Association of Teachers Colleges, The Middle State Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and The Association of American Universities. Dr. Sprague has made us proud of our Alma Mater and of ourselves. His outstanding leadership has provided inspiration for success to all prospective teachers at MSTC. DR. HARRY A. SPRAGUE President
