I lie story of this year is a narrative of advancement and consolidation as the College prepared to meet the problems created by diminishing Post-War Emergencies. Definite steps were taken to plan for a future maximum enrollment ol 800 students. 1 he office of Dean of Students was eliminated. I he teaching staff was reduced by with- drawals and grants ol leave. I he curriculum was revised so that a minimum of 126 hours will be required instead ol I 36 hours. Changes in subject requirements were likewise made. I he business facilities of the college were drawn together for greater efficiency and a student health insurance program was instituted. Many changes occurred in several Academic Depart- ments. Dr. John D. M. Brown, head of the English De- partment. retired after 37 years of service; Dr. Perry F.
