■• DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE IN 1923 an expansion program was instituted which culminated in the estab- lishment of the Department of Public Service. This newly created depart- ment was designed to meet the educational needs of the people in this territory. Professor Huffor led the movement, and directs the department. For the benefit of those who can not attend the college and for the con- venience of the teachers in the field, this Department offers college courses by correspondence and through extension classes located in towns convenient to those wishing to enroll. In the 1931-32 session new centers were established and the enrollment increased. Extension classes are held in Houston, Galveston, Port Arthur, Wharton, Palestine, Crockett, Conrce, Groveton, Shiro, Baytown, and Fairfield. C. A. Parkhill, Augusta Lawrence, T. S.

The Alcalde, V DEAN OF WOMEN ' S MESSAGE AS YOU leave this campus with the long dreamed of diploma in your hand, do you ask yourself what college has meant to you? Has it meant rich friendships, wholesome pleasures, and work enough to cause you to feel that the acquisition of a degree is an accomplishment? Has it meant for you the ability to see the great and the small in their true relationship, to look at both sides of a question, to recognize and respect the point of view that differs widely from your own ? My wish is that college has meant all of this to you, and a further wish is that you may realize that now to make the most of your life you must find the work you want to do, do it generously, and find happiness in it.

Its primary purpose is to afford prospective teachers an opportunity to observe the application of approved methods of instruction to typical school situations and actual experience in teaching under expert supervision. For this purpose it maintains classes with limited enrollment in every grade from kindergarten to senior high school with teachers holding at least masters degrees in charge of every class. State adopted texts are used as the basis of instruction. A small incidental fee from each pupil enrolled affords adequate instruction materials in every department. Such extra-curricular activities as are found in any first- class modern school are maintained. J. L. Pritchett, Florence Lowe, N. J. Whitehurst, Bertha Kirkley H. R. Brentzel, Mamie C. Lister, F. A.
