im n The Graduate Division is the State Colieoe braneh of the Graduate School of the consoHdated Universitv of North Carolina. Its function is to provide graduate training in the sciences and tech- nologies of agriculture, engineering, textiles, and ocational teacher training. The urgent need for graduate instruction leading to research in these fields is recognized by the leaders in the occupations which depend upon the development of these branches of industrv. Moreover, unless graduate studv and research in the technological and related fields are pro ided, the institutions of higher learn- ing in this section of the country will look elsewhere for trained men, whereas there should be a fair balance of such men from every section of the country. Graduate students have the ad antages offered bv the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Engi- neering Experiment Station, and the Research Laboratories of the Textile School, in addition to the regular laboratories used for instruction. lndi iduallv developed courses of study lead to the decrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosoph . In addition State College offers a Professional degree to its graduates who ha e per- formed outstanding professional service. Z. P. Metcalf, Dean GRRDURTE Division GRADUATE COUNCIL Left to n ;(: L.

Shinn, Knitting. i 1 A new era has dawned upon the oldest industry in civilization. The continual development of natural and synthetic fibers throuoh research has oreatly widened the uses of textile products, and has increased almost boundlessly the horizon of textile knovvledoe. These developments pro ' ide in- creased opportunities for trained men and women: trained for research, production, manufacture, de- sign, and economics. Youno people with scientific and technical train- ing, initiative, and imagination have always been needed by the textile industry. The School of Textiles offers qualified individuals the opportunity to acquire the educational preparation necessar ' for success in filling this need. This training, based on a study of science, technology, management, and art, coupled with a strong, general college education, results in our modern, perceptive, research-minded textile graduate. The pubhc-spirited manufacturers of North Caro- lina recognize the ' alue of progressive textile educa- tion. Through the N. C. Textile Foundation thev ha e helped bring to the School as teachers out- standing experts in ' arious fields of textiles. In return, the industry profits by drawing for leader- ship upon a ]5()ol of scientifically trained personnel. M. E. Campbell, Dean

The Division of Teacher Education at State College is responsible for the undergraduate and graduate training of teachers of Agriculture, In- dustrial Arts, and Trade and Industrial Education for the white schools of the State. The chief function of the Division of Teacher Education is to provide the professional courses for the students electing to become teachers, the general and technical courses are provided by other schools on the campus. The professional training involves residence courses in psychology, visual instruction, principles of teaching, methods of teaching and secondary education. It also includes directed teaching ex- perience in selected schools away from the cam|ius. Members of the facultx ' of the Division give very close supervision to the trainees while away from the campus doing directed teaching. They also carry on a research program, prepare teaching materials, and render other professional services to teachers in the field. The demand for teachers in the above fields is much greater than the College has been able to supply. L. E. Cook, Acting Director Division OF TEACHER EDUCflTIOn DEPARTMENT HEADS Top to bottom: L. E.
