The Office of the Registrar The Registrar’s Office is a crossroads for all students at the University. The Office is responsible for all admissions and for all re¬ quirements for graduation. The job of admit¬ ting, registering, and keeping records for ap¬ proximately 10,500 students is all done in this office under the supervision of Carter A. Short, Registrar and his assistants, J. B. Kellar, E. E. Lee, and Wallie Ingalls. One of the Office’s main responsibilities is to make contact with high schools and to in¬ form them about the University. The High School Principal’s Conference has proved to he very successful in coordinating the high schools curriculum with admission require¬ ments. At the Conference, each principal has conferences with graduates of his school who are now students at the University and also members of the University’s faculty. Sugges¬ tions are given to the principal as to ways of better preparing students for college. Registration is a much harder job for the Office than for the students. A schedule of classes must be prepared, class cards printed, packets for students assembled, and endless other jobs completed before the students can begin to register. The Office also keeps ac¬ curate, updated records for all of the students which are considered to be private, personal documents. Carter A. Short headed the Office. Assisting in the Office are J. B. Kellar, E. E. Lee, and Wallie Ingalls, Assistant Registrars.
