At that time, 177 graduate students were enrolled in 144 graduate courses taught by 103 faculty members. Today, the Graduate School has an enrollment of more than 1,400 students, and the 1,000 courses are taught by more than 500 faculty members. Since 1861, 8,712 advanced degrees have been conferred by the University and during the year ending August 31, 1953, 667 ad- vanced degrees were awarded. Of these ad- vanced degrees, 126 of them were doctorates. Students From all parts of the world are attracted to Penn State to do graduate work. During the past year, 114 foreign students were enrolled. The organization of the Graduate Student Association, a part of the activity of the School, is a means by which the graduate stu- dents may have a voice in University affairs and are given the opportunity to express their problems through discussion and collective action. The oHicers and members of the Executive Committee of the Graduate Student Associa- tion are President, Gene M. Love; Vice-Presi- dent, Kenneth H. Gee; Secretary, Agnes G. Doody; and Treasurer, William H. Hickey. All students enrolled in the Graduate School during the academic year have membership in the Graduate Student Association.
