ADMINISTRATION The Mr. E. J. Howell Most students, as they go on their way from day to day in pursuit of higher learning, know little of the exact records which are kept concerning them. The Registrar’s office with its seemingly unlimited number of files and cabinets could tell many interesting tales of thousands of boys’ lofty ambitions, proud accomplishments, and in some unfortunate cases, heartbreaking failures, for in its safe-keeping are permanent records of all who have at¬ tended this College. The Registrar ' s office also serves as a contact to the prospective student, enlightening him on all information of the College, and it furnishes the public with valuable information which it gathers through extensive statistical research, ft handles all registration, matriculation, classification, and graduation matters. Mr. Eugene J. Howell, Registrar, graduated from this College with the Class of 1922. Prior to assuming his present position, Mr. Howell served as Assistant Registrar of the College for two years and as Registrar and Commandant of John Tarleton Junior College for seven years. Officers under Mr. Howell are W. E. Morgan, Recorder, who is on leave of absence this year, L. B. Jones, Acting Recorder, and L. F. Lawhon, Assistant Recorder. Page 21

It also confers the professional degrees of Agricultural Engineer, Civil Engineer, Electrical Engineer, and Mechanical Engineer. The School of Arts and Sciences offers regular four-year courses in Liberal Arts and in Science and assists the other schools of the College by giving every student of the institution the basic studies which are essential for special¬ ized work and the cultural learning which marks the educated man. The departments of Biology, Chemistry, Eco¬ nomics, English, Geology, History, Mathematics, Military Science, Modern Languages, Physical Education, and Physics are included in the School. Dr. Brooks has administered his two-fold task admirably in the short time that he has been here, and he has already won the good graces of all on the campus. Before coming to A M he was Chairman of the School of Edu¬ cation and Dean of the Summer School of Baylor University.
