WALTER H.ana1NcToN Rue The eleven years that Walter H. Ryle has been President of Northeast Missouri State Teachers College have formed an era of many improvements. Through his efforts the faculty has increased in quality of training and number. Through his efforts it is now possible to do graduate work toward a Master of Arts Degree in five fields. A graduate of the Teachers College, President Ryle was a member of the faculty for nine years before being named President in IQQ7. From his desk in Baldwin Hall President Ryle keeps a linger on the pulse of the whole school and does all in his power to help carry on in the traditions of superior scholastic training for the prospective teachers who come to this college. Primarily a teacher, President Ryle still finds time to devote hours to his garden and an occasional hunting trip. He is married, has one son, Walter H., jr.. and resides in a spacious home in Kirksville. Pam' I3 D President Maur Orr Secretary FLETTA joNus General Secretary
