Education as the final award, thus making the three white normal schools into state teachers colleges. The following year its name was officially changed and it received ac- creditation from the American Association of Teachers Colleges. During the period between 1934-1938 the number of faculty members was increased to 30. By 1938 the library had some 35,000 volumes on its shelves. Student enroll- ment during this period fluctuated, both because of tuition increases in 1935 and later as a result of the war. In 1938 Dr. M. Theresa Wiedfeld was appointed Presi- dent of Towson State Teachers College. In 1942 The Model School was renamed the Lida Lee Tall School. In 1946, a liberal arts program was added to the curriculum in response to the educational needs of the large number of veterans returning to the campuses in Maryland. This program was designed not as a terminal course but rather as a transfer program. The curriculum in the teacher ' s program was expanded in 1946 for those who wished to teach on the junior high level; in 1947 a Pre-school Pro- gram was added. Dr. Earle T. Hawkins became President of the college in 1947. The expansion of the programs continued. In i960 a senior high school program was added. In 1958, a Master of Education degree was also made available in the curriculum. A Special Professional Summer Program for elementary teachers was begun in 1951. Since then the summer school program has become more diversified. Lida Lee Tall Principal, 1920-1934 President, 19 34-1938 W. Theresa Wiedefeld President, 1938-1947 In 1949, the college was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Prior to the initiation of the Junior College there had existed no real need for this kind of accreditation. In 1963, the College was authorized to expand its offerings in the Arts and Sciences. By this authorization the status of the in- stitution was changed from that of a teachers college to that of a state college offering a four year liberal arts program in addition to its teacher training program. Other rapid changes have taken place in the last two decades. In 1949 the faculty totaled about fifty. In 1965 there were 171. In 1949 student enrollment was 764; by 1965 full-time student enrollment was nearly 3,000 with 2,000 more attending evening classes. During this same period of time legislative allocations for ex- pansion totaled over fourteen million dollars. The physical appearance of the campus has also changed. In addition to Stephens Hall, Newell Hall, Glen Esk, the Gardener ' s Cottage, Richmond Hall, the Service Building, and Van Bokkelan Hall, there are Ward and West Halls, (Men ' s Dormitories), Prettyman and Scar- borough Halls (Women ' s Dormitories), Lida Lee Tall School (Laboratory school), Albert S. Cook Library, Dowell Health Center, Wiedefeld Gymnasium, and the latest ' addition, the Smith Science Hall. In order to meet the evergrowing educational needs and overcome the constant overcrowdedness, Towson has launched a seven year building program which it hopes will help alleviate the problem (see opposite page).
