A Division of I-hlult Education POR THOSE INSPIRED by interests that varied from Russian to aviation, but had to wait 'til nightfall to start the quest, the Division of Adult Education kept the lights burning. Adults wishing to supplement former training, individuals working toward a college degree, or regular students not able to attend day classes participated in the program. Lectures were held at the North and Main Campuses. Sports minded adults who were able to at- tend day classes, were provided courses in sailing and fishing. Though a few hours of lec- ture were required, most of the semester con- sisted of practical experience with the boat and the tackle. Mr. Vernon Cordry was sailing instructor, and Erl Roman was in charge of the fishing classes. These adult courses, which drew 1,500 evening division students, were under the di- rection of Dr. Xlifilliam P. Dismukes, who INDUSTRIAL TRAINING o Uiirst row: William W. Ishman, Percy C-illmor, I.
