1 INAUGURATION Dr Walter Harrington Ryle was inaugurated as the seventh president of the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College on the nineteenth of May, 1938. Dr. Ryle succeeded the late Presi- dent Eugene Fair and continued the tradition that presidents of this college are trained in service on the campus. He was a stu dent under both John R. Kirk and Eugene Fair, the two preceding presidents. The inauguration of President Ryle in the seventy-two year old history of the Teachers College was a symbol of continued progress. Leaders of all fields expressed well placed confidence in the ability of President Ryle to carry on the ideals of progressive education on that inauguration day. Thus far that prediction has become a reality. There is a reason to believe it will always be so. An eventful day was the nineteenth of May. The inaugura tion convocation was held in Kirk Auditorium at ten o'clock. Dean L. A. Eubank presided and Dr. Sidney Clarence Garrison, president of George Peabody College for Teachers, gave an address. The president of the Board of Regents, Judge James A. Ooolev, gave the charge to the new president, and Dr. Ryle gave the inaugural address. Thirty-nine visiting colleges and univer- sities were represented at the inauguration. Congratulations were offered by Dr. Ryle's classmates of 1916, presidents and other administraiive officials of the visiting schools, the faculty of the Teachers College, townspeople inter ested in the growth of the college, various friends of Dr. Ryle, Governor Lloyd C. Stark of the State of Missouri, and alumni and former students under the new president. After the inauguration there was a corner-stone ceremonial at the new Baldwin Hall. Lloyd W. King, state superintendent of schools, presided and Governor Stark gave an address. Fol- lowing the corner stone ceremonial, the Class of 1916 were guests of President and Mrs. Ryle at a luncheon at the Masonic Temple. That afternoon President Ryle conferred degrees upon the graduating class. That evening there was a banquet, fol- lowed by a reception and Inaugural Ball.

10 BUILDINGS Ideas thrive in congenial and comfortable surroundings and progress results. Among the worthwhile objects created at the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College to give worthwhile ideas space for growth have been new buildings. When students returned from the Christmas vacation, the transformation of $350,000, a plot of ground, and architectural intellect was complete in the form of a new Administration-Fine Arts building, an addition to the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School, a new field house, and the beginnings of a landscaping and beautifying program. Baldwin Hall, the administration building, was a welcome outlet for the crowded condition in the older campus buildings. Its three-story spaciousness immediately became filled with the administration offices, the division of language and literature, the division of fine arts, and the division of business education. In one wing of Baldwin Hall is a theater for productions by the Little Theater group. Progress is more than suggested by this building with its broad, friendly halls, its sound proof rehearsal rooms for music classes, its well lighted art studios, its roomy offices, and its general spaciousness. The addition of sixteen rooms and a gymnasium to the Ophelia Parrish School is but material proof of the growth of the education division. The construction of the addition enables the progressive leaders of this division to expand their ideas and carry out their ideals. With some of the college divisions removed from the formerly crowded buildings, work has begun for expansion in the remaining divisions. In a v ell rounded education the body must be as fit as the mind To help with this ideal the new field house was con- structed. This one-story brick and tile building is on Stokes Field, where football games and track meets take place. An ornamental entrance of Carthage limestone and brick has been erected at the north side of the campus, the beginning of the landscaping and beautifying program.
