The complete records of these as well as the records of 20,000 other students who have Qi' been in attendance at the University or who are now enrolled must be kept in the i registry office. Hundreds of inquiries come to this office every month for the records , of graduates or former students and for recommendations based on these records. If students realized how much importance large firms placed on an applicant's l ' 95 standing in the University those with ambitions for the future would certainly make My ' 1 I iff? ii every effort to earn satisfactory grades. A 2,3 if The chief purpose of the registry office, aside from preserving records, is to aid in D 'si ff: i i .5 3' , keeping students at work. The welfare of the students and the reputation of the its University depend on the ability of faculty members to interest students in their glasses. The instructor can not be expected to do much with those who are not enough interested in their work to attend classes regularly. The registry office has 5535 gil a somewhat complicated system for keeping advisers informed as to what students if are doing.

REAvEs Acting Dean THE GRADUATE SCHOOL was organized in 1909. As yet only the Master's degree is offered, since it has been deemed best to strengthen the work for that degree rather than to attempt to give the required work for the Doctor's degree. The following degrees are now offered: Master of Arts, Master of Science, unqualis fied, Master of Science in Engineering, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Chemical Engineer. The last four are professional degrees, con- ferred under the following conditions: The candidate must be a graduate of the College of Engineering in this University. He must present acceptable evidence of at least three years of practice in his profession, at least one of which must have been in a position of responsibility. He must present an acceptable thesis upon some engineering sub- ject. He must enroll for the degree not later than November 1 of the school year in which the degree is expected. During the last two years there has been a large increase in applications for enroll- ment by graduates from other institutions. The two principal reasons are: first, the greater number of students who desire to specialize, particularly in oil geology and in oil chemistry, and second, the demands of the schools of the State for better educated and better trained teachers. Many of the high schools ,and colleges are now requiring in- structors to have a higher degree, and ad- vancement, or even the retaining of positions, is dependent upon the securing of such de- grees. This has greatly stimulated the de- mand for graduate work during the summer sessions. 32 THE COLLEGE or Arzrs AND SCIENCES is as old as the University, having been organized in 1892. Its first graduating Class consisted of two members who received Bachelor of Arts degrees in 1898. Its growth in size and intiuence is indicated by the fact that the number of degrees conferred by fit in 1923 was two hundred ninety-five. This College has always maintained re-1 quirements for admission and for graduation as high as those of the better colleges of the United States, and its degrees have always been accepted at other universities. It has been a member of the North Central Asso- ciation of Colleges for twenty years. The purpose of this College is to give its students acquaintance with many subjects of cultural value and more intensive training in two or three which lie closest to the student's interests or future activities. It is closely associated with most of the professional schools. Two years of 'its work is required for admission to the Schools of Law, Medicine, Education, and Business, and within this College are organized the Schools of Jour- nalism, Social Service, and Home Economics. The progress and development of this College have been guided largely by the inliuence of its only Dean, Dr. james Shan- non Buchanan, now Acting President of the University, who has been Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences since 1909.
