'Ga President Bancroft Beazley President Bancroft Beatley and Dean Eleanor Clifton are known by every student as the chief administrators of Simmons. They are also known as two people who understand and continually work for the needs of the students. When John Simmons founded Simmons College, he directed that it should give instruction in Hart, science, and industry best calculated to enable the scholars to acquire an independent livelihoodf' Sinnnons follows another basic precept stated for every student in the annual catologue. It states that vocational education on the college level must rest on a Firm academic foundationg that there must be constant emphasis on the broad princi- ples which underlie vocational competence in any Held, that training in skills should be limited to those that are essential to success in initial em- ployment. When President Beatley reached 1952, he saw Simmons celebrate fifty years as a college. At that time he said that his work is still as satis- fying as in 1933 when he became the second presi- dent of Simmons. Producers cmd Dir During the gala jubilee celebration, President Beatley dedicated three new buildings on upper- class campus to bring all the students to one cam- pus. Now plans are underway for more college buildings. A library, a science building, and a social and health unit are part of the Simmons future. ' Next fall the School of Preprofessional Studies will become the School of Social Science. Stu- dents will receive a broad education with an added emphasis on social studies and w'ill then be pre- pared for either graduate study or immediate employment. The students may see President Beatley at a student-faculty tea, a college formal. perhaps eat- ing dinner at the home management house, play- ing baseball at the annual student-faculty game, or walking down the corridors. With his willingness to further student welfare, President Beatley is ready to build an even greater Simmons as the years go by.
