Introducing Our Dr. Ryle's interest in and loyalty to the Northeast Missouri State Teachers college began long ago when he first enrolled as a student here Stepping from the role of student to faculty member, and from there to president in 1937, he has contrib- uted his untiring efforts to maintain the high standards of the institution. Upholding the traditions handed down to him by his predecessors, our president has done much to maintain the initial concepts which were incorporated into this college at its founding. An attractive campus, dotted by beautiful and useful build- ings, sprinkled liberally with earnest, hard-working, clear-think ing students, working with a cooperative, understanding, and well-educated faculty to secure the maximum in teacher training for the state of Missouri has been one of the chief objectives of this seventh president.
