MELVIN A. BRANNON, Chancellor W HEN I entered upon my duties as Chancellor of the Uni- versity of Montana January 15, 1923, I began to acquaint myself with the structure and function of the various units ot the University of Mon- tana. Very early in the study it became evident that the State Normal College should have its course of study extended to four years. The rapid changes and advancement in the theory and practice of education made this change and extension of work in the State Normal College im- perative. This move is in harmony with the best procedure in every state which is endeavoring to discharge its responsibility in adequate training of teachers for the public schools. This change will permit the enrichment as well as the extension of the course of study. It is extremely gratifying to me that our State Normal College is moving into the full rank of a teachers college. I extend my felicitations and record my high appreciation of this definite constructive evolution in Montana State Normal College. MELVIN A. BRANNON

There is more in a four year course than in two years for the right Audent in the right place. The Normal College is proud of the thousands who have inveiited two of their be t years in the diploma course. It will soon have pride in its degree graduates who are investing more and will be correspondingly richer. Open- eyed, they are traveling the longer journey where there is much to see. SHELDON E.
