COLLEGE of EDUCATION Talk of adopting the Ford Foundation program for teacher education in Arkansas has undoubtedly made the College of Edu¬ cation the most talked about college this past year. Under this plan, which has brought con¬ siderable controversy from across the state, a teaching degree would be awarded on completion of five years of training—four years of liberal arts work and a fifth year of teaching under supervision of a master teacher. The entire program has the back¬ ing of the Ford Foundation ' s millions. The man sparkplugging the Ford Founda¬ tion program for Arkansas is none other than the dean of the college, Dr. Henry Kronenberg, a native of South Haven, Minn., and dean of the college since July, 1945. A separate college since 1917, the Col¬ lege of Education has three main divisions: elementary and secondary education, voca¬ tional education, and physical education. H. H.
