Dean Moss Qi-Mluafe ,Si 00 EPRESENTATIVE of the constant achievement and advancement of the University as a whole is the Graduate School. During the year the school became authorized to offer Ph.D. degrees for the first time. This step forward in education was brought about under the guidance of Dr. Herbert J. Moss, Dean of the Graduate School, and the graduate faculty. Established in l903, the Graduate School has always offered instruction with the obiective of bringing together faculty members and aca- demically qualified students in a progressive spirit of scholarship and research. The graduate student is given the opportunity to specialize in some field of knowledge specifically interesting to him. The school stresses the development of a maturity of thought and attitude toward the individual's chosen field so that his professional and his cultural life may be enriched and made more meaningful. During this academic year, l59 students were enrolled in the various departments of the Grad- uate School. Instruction is given in all three colleges, Liberal Arts, Agriculture, and Tech- nology and in over twenty departments in the colleges on the graduate level. Since the first University master's degree was given, almost 1200 students have received advanced degrees here. From some l0O educational institutions including most of the states and several foreign countries students have come to New Hampshire for post-graduate work. Fellowships and scholarships are offered in many departments as well as part-time working assistantships, to enable deserving students to attain higher education in their field. 20

rm I l I I RMY Reserve OFFicer's training has been a part of Uni- versity life for sixty years. Established at UNH in 1893, the present form of training was prescribed by the Na- tional Defense Act of 1916. There are approximately four hundred and thirty students from all four classes enrolled in the Army's training pro- gram. Three students have been offered Regular Army commissions while nearly ninety more seniors will receive commissions in the Army Reserve as second lieutenants. The program is integrated with the regular academic University schedule so that students may not only qualify for their degrees but also for their commissions. Thousands of UNH graduates have undergone training in the Army ROTC's two maior branches: Infantry and Anti- Aircraft Artillery. The ROTC program in America's colleges and universities is a major source of army appointments for the government. Those students accepting their commissions will begin their Army careers on an equal footing with the West Point graduate. 22 Colonel Barker
