GRADUATE The foculty of the Graduate School is unique in that any member of the entire University faculty who offers graduate work belongs to the staff of this school. This mokes it diffi- cult to accurately state the exoct number of instructors in the Graduate School; but the number of students is in the vicinity of one thousand attending the regular and summer sessions. Students from all sections of the country, and from foreign parts, come here to continue their graduate work. Leading universities of the United States also send their graduates to Alabama; for the graduate work is standard, being recognized throughout the land. Lately, it has been improved still more by adding to the faculty, bettering the equipment, and en- lorging the number of books in the library. Dean Albert B. Moore came to Alabama in 1923, and was made head of the Graduate School the year following. He has received degrees from both Auburn and the University of Chicago. Immediately preceding his coming to the Univer- sity, Dean Moore served at Iowa State College as Associate Professor of History from 1919 until 1923. DEAN A. B. MOORE AMFIIA r,AYIE GORGAS LIBRARY ' it
