Registrar—Focal Point of University f + ., Carter A. Short, Registrar, opened the doors to the University. The Office of the Registrar was the focal point for all academic objectives of the University. General rules and regulations were not formulated in this department, but were applied and enforced by it. It was the respon¬ sibility of this Office, for example, to require that each graduate have credit for courses in American History and Junior English. The duties of the Registrar were divided into three divisions: Admissions, Registration, and Records. Through its admissions function, the Office acted on all applications from freshmen, graduate, and transfer students. It maintained a close relationship with high schools throughout the state in order to articulate the change between high school and college. The Office was also responsible for registration each semester. Another main duty of the Registrar was record¬ keeping. All transcripts have been recorded since 1871. They have been microfilmed and locked in various lo¬ cations so as to eliminate the complete destruction of such records by fire or theft. The Office of the Registrar was headed by Carter A. Short. He was assisted by Wally Ingalls, director of all phases of graduation, by Dr. E. E. Lee, director of freshman and transfer admissions, and by J. B. Kellar, director of registration, graduate admissions, and vet¬ erans. Assisting in the evaluation of a student ' s transcript were the Assistant Registrars, J. B. Kellar, E. E. Lee, and Wallie Ingalls. 26
