PRESIDENT JOHN S. KYSER began this fall his 42nd year on the hill and is in his 12th year as the 12th president of Northwestern State College. Beginning as an instructor he advanced in academic rank to full professor and became head of the Department of Social Sciences in 1935, a position he held until he became President in May 1954. Changes and developments during his administration include the establish- ment of the Graduate School, new departments, changes and expansions of curricula and degree programs, and major additions and improvements in the physical plant. Expansions in the physical plant include the construction of Williamson Hall, Prudhomme Hall, Natchitoches Hall, St. Denis Hall, Caddo Hall, Louisi- ana Hall, and Prather Coliseum, and additions to Russell Library and Caspari Hall. With the completion of present building plans, six major structures will have been added, including one in Shreveport. Mrs. Kyser has also been active in programs of the college throughout the years, and has been prominently engaged in activities of the Natchitoches Community. Her campus interests have been varied and she has participated in the planning of many special observances and events. To President and Mrs. Kyser we express our deepest gratitude for their contributions to Northwestern State College, and we express the love we hold for them as the chief administrators of NSC.
