A TRIBUTE ..... DR. W . .I . HAMMOND Since ioining the faculty in 1924, Dr. W. J. Hammond has proved to be much more than a competent professor of history. He has helped TCU grow by leading students to creative work in government, politics and civic proiects through countless interest groups and club sponsorships. The history department chairman has enriched the curriculum by the addition of a survey course in social science, one ot the first of its kind in the United States. He has shown sincere interest in students outside of class by taking them on picnics and trips, and having perpetual open house at his home tor fun, study or discussion of personal prob- lems. To today's students Dr. Hammond symbolizes the continual development of ideas and the sustained loyalty of spirit that has made TCU a fine university. May we in this way say thank you to an inspiring teacher and an understanding friend.

DR. ELLIS M. SOWELL Also in early fall of 'I956 the TCU campus mourned the loss of Dr. Ellis M. Sowell, 'former dean of the School of Business. As well as being Dis- tinguished Professor of Finance, Dr. Sowell was one of the foremost leaders in the campaign for con- struction of the new School of Business building, which now stands as a fitting symbol of his con- tributions to our university. He also was a national Disciples of Christ leader, serving as a director of the Pension Fund for several years. IN MEMORIAM DR. CORRIE ALLEN Dr. Corrie Allen, gracious lady of the School of Education, was certainly one of the outstanding members of the TCU faculty. In her work on the graduate staff from 1950 until her death early in the fall of 'I956 she proved to be a loyal devotee of university activities and a willing supporter of the entire school program. As the Faculty Bulletin so aptly stated, To say that she will be sorely missed is a gross understatement.

A. Clark, Business Manager. ln 1895 the college was moved to Waco and in 1902 its name was changed to Texas Christian University. In 1910 the school opened in downtown Fort Worth and then moved to its present location in 1911. Eleven years later the school was elected to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and became accredited. It is the purpose of the AddRan College of Arts and Sciences to provide a liberal arts curriculum fundamental to the educational development of students, whatever their field of specialization. To this end, courses are offered in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, from which a core of general education is required by the various colleges of the University. AddRan is organized with fifteen departments, two inter-departmental programs, four pro- grams in co-operation with other schools, five pre-professional programs, and two units of Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Two degrees are offered in the college: the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Science degree.
