Grad School Requires Modern Language Exam WILFRID H. CALLCOTT Dean of Graduate School UNDER the supervision of Dean Wilfrid H. Callcott the Graduate School has been steadily growing. An education equivalent to that represented by a baccalaureate degree and suf- ficient maturity to enter courses of advanced study are requisites for entrance. Credentials for admission include an analysis of courses taken and the grades earned, and the standing gained on the Graduate Record Examination. Individual attention is given to each application. In the ma- jority of the schools on campus, a student may obtain an advanced degree fro m the Graduate School upon completion of required course work and attendant obligations. Each candidate for the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science is required, as soon as he begins work on his Master ' s program, to pass an examination which will demonstrate a reading knowledge of a modern foreign language. In addition to the course work, a comprehensive final examination and a thesis on a portion of his major field of concentration is required of all candidates for graduate degrees. Amid intricate laboratory apparatus, graduate students conduct complicated and highly technical experiments. Graduate student Gerry Driggers finds a moment in her schedule to grade her class ' Political Science papers. 30

THEODORE J. LEDEEN Director of Russell House DAVID E. ABEEL Director, News Service USC Administrative Units Plan Educational Program THE fundamental educational program at the University of South Carolina is planned by the administrators and professors, without whom the program could not endure. It is through the efforts of these men and women that our presence at the University is made possible. From the moment the prospective freshman begins the en- trance examination, until the momentous day when he is presented a sheepskin, these are the people who assist him in charting his course. These educational preparations are advanced by the daily efforts of persons ranging from the secre- taries of the deans through the student workers. Administ rative Units include the Examining and Counseling Bureau, Donna S. Young, Ad- ministrative Assistant; Machine Records super- vised by Luther Gunter; Personnel and Placement, Ruth E. McVey, Administrative Assistant; Pur- chasing and Supply managed by Anna S. Durham; General Supplies, managed by Harold V. Richard- son; and the Extension Division, directed by Dr. Nicholas P. Mitchell, Administrator. Serving as manager is Roger White, who also is executive secretary of the Gamecock Club, an organization for the promotion of Gamecock ath- letic teams. Students form the ever familiar line at the window of the University bank, to cash and deposit their checks. MRS. LOUISE J. DuBOSE Director, University Press
