1-ELMS ,Q g 0 fluf f The first non-teaching registrar, Miss Isabel I-louck,was appointed in 1925, and the posi- tion of Dean of Women created in January, 1926. Miss Catherine E. Reed began her work as Dean in September, 1926. Tncreased registration and overcrowded facilities made a larger plant and campus necessary as each year went by. On May 27, 1927, in response to a request made by the Board of Managers, in a resolution on April 14, the State Board of Regents changed the name of the Buffalo State Normal School to that of State Teachers College at Buffalo. Credit for this change is due to the late Adelbert Moot, Vice-Chancellor of the Board of Regents. On March 9, 1928, the Legislature passed a bill giving the right to the legal title of New York State College for Teachers at Buffalo. This action gave the college the same Faculty classification and salary schedule as that of the Albany State Teachers College. A college nurse was added to the staff in September, 1928. The Vocational-Industrial Department was put on a three year basis in the spring of 1929, and a four year course was planned. An auto mechanics and a general shop will come within two years. In July, 1929, the Board of Regents approved the transfer of the Art Departments from the Potsdam and Fre- donia Normal Schools to the State Teachers College at Buffalo. The proximity of the new plant to the Albright Art Gallery and the Buffalo Art School made this change especially advisable. In August, 1930, the School of Practice was taken over by the State, which thereafter undertook the paying of the salaries of the critics. With even higher standards for entrance, applications were so great in September, 1930, that tests for admission were again given. The new Art Department opened with twenty students at that time. The expansion of the College from a registration of two hundred seventy-hve in 1919 to one thousand, one hundred fifty in 1930 and a relative increase in the number of faculty, marks the amazing growth in the service of the College. A director of training and two associ- ates, increased practice teaching facilities, a department for the training of elementary princi- pals, two new salary schedules, recognition of the degree of the College by several of the larger universities, and the appointment of a Deans Committee are but a few other splendid developments that took place on the Jersey Street campus during this period. Nearly all fraternities and sororities became nationalized following the collegiate ranking of the school. The American Association of Teachers Colleges also gave the College a grade A rating. State University scholarships were given to students registering at the College, as well as twenty-five vocational scholarships of one thousand dollars each. On January 1, 1931, the College building was turned over to the City of Buffalo, to be used as the Grover Cleveland High School, with its opening scheduled for September, 1931. 18
