ffiis-1 i 'X V -., 1 ict 'ugqfgfen 1949-1950--A SIGNIFICANT YEAR The year of i949-1950 marks another milestone in our progress toward the lang dreamed-of Greater San Diego State College. This June for the first time since the founding of our College in l897 as o two-year normal school, graduate students were awarded masters degrees. Furthermore, many students marched across the platform at Commencement to receive their bachelors degree, having suc- cessfully completed the newly developed occupational curricula which prepared them both tar effective employment in the business and industry of our great area and tor intelligent and contributing participation in the cultural and civic life of today's world. Other students have completed the requirements which will permit them to enter the graduate programs of the university of their choice for advanced study required for entering the higher professions, Our faculty of 220 reflects education, and in many instances teaching experience, in the best universities of the United States and Europe. The student body of 4200 regular full-time students, and a total enrollment of 5000, compares most favorably with the intellectual potentiolity ofthe nation's outstanding universities and colleges in terms of standardized test results. Our campus acreage has been extended by some 38 acres and plans for six new buildings are now on the architects boards, while two such buildings were completed and occupied during the past year. And before another twelve months have passed the six oddi- tional buildings will be nearing completion. Thus we see that I949-l950 has been a year of great signifi- cance in the development of your Alma Mater, Each of us, faculty member and student alike, can view with justifiable pride the increasing size and beauty of the plant and the comprehensiveness and quality of the educational program of the Greater San Diego State College.
