C G Q l C G I -Ns, il Q! a, :-:f i The College The academic year 1928-1929 will go into the annals of the College as one of its ordinary years. There have been no abnormally high or low spots in its attempted achievements, but months of good, honest effort. The total enrollment for the year numbered 2459, the second largest attendance in our history. Only the year 1927 surpassed it. The number of degrees conferred, ninety-six, is as large as ever has been given by this College in any single year. But numbers seldom tell the Whole story. The spirit of an organism is not so easily discerned. During all of this year there has been manifested a most wholesome school spirit. The support accorded various college activities has been loyal. When our athletic teams Were losing, and this year's record on gridiron and court is an unenviable one, the students supported them as loyally during a long losing streak as When they Were Winning. The high points of the year have been attained in the level of classroom Work on the part of many students, in the fine record of public speaking teams, especially in debating, and in the excellent men's and Women's glee clubs. The College itself has maintained its coveted position of last year When, for the first time, it attained A ranking in the American Association of Teachers Colleges as Well as the classification With regular universities and col- leges by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This is the highest ranking either of these important standardizing agencies ac- cords colleges. The faculty and equipment of the College register constant improve- ment. Last year the College Library passed the 49,000 mark in the total num- ber of volumes it contains, and, as a result, it is coming to be recognized as among the greatest educational libraries of the state. All in all, 1928-1929 is to be reckoned as one of the fine years in the history of the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College. - mluk1 A t T UUU UUUUUUUUUUU -UUUUUVUUUUUUUUUUUUl -24..
