Education and Psychology Department When this College was created in 1903 as the Kansas State Manual Training Normal School, its main purpose was to prepare teachers in the prac- tical arts. So this department, which is now headed by Dr. William A. Black is, in reality, the original College here. While students, preparing for the teaching pro- fession, delve into the many different fields offered by the College, it is here that the finishing touches arc placed on those candidates for teaching degrees. Much has happened since that first graduating class received one year certificates allowing them to teach special high school classes. That class had 10 graduates out of a total roll call of 43 and a faculty of five. Miss Odella Nation, now retired, is one ol the original quintet. Present faculty of the department under Dr. Black includes Professors Ernest M. Anderson, E. E. Dawson, John Glaze, Charles Pyle and Claude Street; Associate Professors Paul T. Dixon, Jack 1 Iall, Emery Kennedy, head of the guidance bu- reau; and Helen K. Schuyler. Assistant professors are Wilbur S. Davidson, Clyde R. Baird, T. Wil- liam Hall, Flora E. 1 lolroyd, Homer Johnson, Callie King, Lester Tracy, Norland Strawn and Ralph Wright, Paoe 13
