Cmfzw. to ww uate School is the development of the power of independent thought, the pro- motion, the spirit and technique of re- search, and the training of men and women for the greatest possible effici- ency as school and college teachers. The department since its establish- ment in l9l5 has grown steadily. Absolute cooperation between students and faculty has resulted in such high Abernathy, Aekenbom, Culbertson, Dryer, lligginhothain, Reedy, Reynolds, standards being required to receive a de- gree that those students who have re- ceived awards from the school are much in demand as scientific investigators in research institutions, and as teachers in universities, colleges and high schools in practically every state in the Union. The depression and competition for positions has made many people realize the advantage of additional training and laylor, Story, Towry, Trask, johnson, 'S' Page 19 Jones, Van Noy, Vllilcox, XVoods. -2 if it is probable that the enrollment of the Clraduate School will continue to in- crease during the years to come. The first year of the Graduate School there were only lf? students en- rolled for graduate study. ln the sum- mer of V732 the enrollment reached the high peak of -HS seeking higher learn- ing. Since that time the enrollment has fallen off until the summer of 1934 when the enrollment was 208. The first masterls degree was granted in lfllf with only one student being graduated. ln lflll, l6S degrees were conferred, but in 193-l only 102 were given. Qklahoma is a new state and many of her citizens come from other states. 'l'hey are interested in securing addition- al training in the state where they ex- pect to make theii future residence since this will meet their needs much better than if they were forced to return to the institutions where they received their under-grzuluate degrees. ln order to obtain the services of the best instructors in a department, it is often necessary to provide conditions for research and other facilities necessary to progress. The Graduate School is attempting to meet the need for higher degrees and it is an obligation the institution owes to the citizens. The regulations of the Graduate School are being reorganized in order to increase the efficiency of the training. Courses of instruction are being classified so as to make a more definite difference between graduate and under- graduate work. This is being done by the departments with the approval of the Committee on Higher Degrees, and of the College Council. During the past few years there has been a decided increase in the qualifica- tions of the members of the faculty. The increase has come about by the improve- ment of present members of the staff, and by the careful selection of new members. The improvements must con- tinue if this institution is to maintain its place with other educational institu- tions. The graduate school has as its head Dean Daniel C. Klclntosh which speaks for growth of this division.

School spirit, that necessary air about the campus, has been greatly encouraged and developed by having attractive pep meetings and organized openings for all football games. The maintenance of student representation on the discipline committee, social committee, athletic cabinet and the admittance of student representation on executive committees of the athletic cabinet has been insti- gated by Student Senate. A plan which will greatly improve the credit standing of students is now before the president for approval. During the year the fol- lowing appointments were made: Robert l3randenberg, senior, and Arthur Lowen, junior, were appointed members on the board of publications. gl. D. Fleming and john Curry were made sophomore and senior senators due to the failure of the elected candidates to return to school. Temple l3enbrook, commerce senator, became Vice-President when jack Corgan withdrew from school in November, 193-1. The commerce Sena- torship was filled by lid KIcGill. .lack Fredenberger became junior senator when junior Coleman withdrew from schoolg and Arlene YVhite became home economics Senator when Klildred Clem- ent graduated. Under the careful guidance of Ralph Rasor, Secretary-Treasurer, the Senate has made financial progress never before attained by a governing body at Qkla- homa A. and NI. The year started with a bang by having two record breaking dances September S and 9. During these two days Rasor broke another all-time record by selling nearly six hundred caps to the boys of the Freshman class. Another factor worthy of note is that for the first time in the history of the Senate a budget was set up and followed rigidly. This careful planning gave the Student Association a new deal which has been hoped for since the adoption of the new constitution in the spring elec- tion of 1933. The Student Association new deal brought not only a program of economy but a reorganization with faculty supervision of all expenditures. The new finance committee is composed of 111111 T. 13. 1X atlt 1cClendon, Chief Clerk, who is in charge of all Student Asso- ciation receiptsg Dr. C. H. llcElroy, Dean of Nlen, who approves all student association expendituresg and the Secre- tary-Treasurer of the Association who keeps all records and acts as agent for the chief clerk in collection of receipts. Annually the senate rewards gradu- ating lettermen with O blankets bought with money made by the senate.
