l Dean Callcott Increases the Graduate Sclzool Enrollment n HROUGH the foresight and efforts of Deans W. S. Currell and Reed Smith, the founda- tions of the Graduate School of the University were securely laid. With the close of World War II, there came a period of rapid growth in the Graduate School, and the present enrollment is two times as large as in 1946. Under Dean Call- cott a program leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy has been installed in five schools and departments. Basic research is fostered in many iields with active support coming from private corporations, foundations, and governmental agencies. At the same time, there has been a steady development of library and laboratory facilities and a sub- stantial strengthening of the faculty. This com- bination has attracted numerous scholars from this country and abroad who seek further training on our campus. In recent years the Graduate School has placed its students in positions in industry and business, in state, national, and international agencies, and on the faculties of at least eighteen colleges and i universities in seven states of the country.
