This bulletin is sent out for the information of students, prospective students, school officials, and other friends of East Carolina Teachers College. It contains current information of interest to all friends and patrons of the college. The college faculty will be enlarged this year and considerably improved by the fact that several members of the staff have been doing graduate study and some have taken advanced Dr. M. K. Fort completed the work for the Ph. D. degree this summer at George Peabody College for Teachers, at Nashville, Tennessee. Miss Helen Spangler, Plu D. Duke Univereity, will take the place of Miss Cassidy in the Science Department. Miss Cassidy resigned at the close of the past summer session. Miss Dorothy Schnyder, Ph. D. New York University, will take the place of Miss Bonnewitz in the Art Department. Miss Bonnewitz was on leave last year but resigned this summer. Dr. R. L. Hilldrup, Ph. D. University of Virginia, takes the place of Miss Rachel Mc Key in Social Science. Miss Mc Key resigned at the close of last year. Boley Farley, one of the best athletes ever to attend Duke University, and manager of the Greenville club of the Coastal Plains League baseball team, will be men's athletic coach this year. Farley took over the coaching duties the latter part of last year after coach Mathis resigned. A new dietitian will be secured in the place of Mrs. Jeter who was compelled to resign last year on account of ill health. Mrs. Jeter is now living in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Simpson of the English Department has resigned to take a similar position in the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Dr. Dewer E. Baughan M. A. Vanderbilt, Ph. D. Yale, has been secured to take his place. Miss Kathleen Grace Plumb, M. A. George Peabody College, of Clearwater, Florida, has been secured as seventh grade critic teacher in the campus traning school. Miss Frances Wahl, principal of the campus training school, will be the academic adviser of students taking the grammar grade curriculum. Most of the June 1936 graduates with A certificates have secured teaching positions for next year, some as far west as Clay County. Some have been employed in Virginia and a few in South Carolina. A former graduate with experience was employed in Winston-Salem recently. The school officials and the public are becoming more and more insistent on securing teachers with the A certificate. Many improvements have been made in the college campus this summer. Hard surface drive- ways have been put around Wright Circle, down the front campus from the Library to the West Entrance, out the Front Entrance at the Austin Building, and up the back campus from Wright Circle to the Dining Hall. Some improvements have been made in other driveways. Cotton Hall has been treated to an interior dressing by way of painting all corridors and all rooms, making them look most attractive. The floors have been treated to a new coat of paint. Some additional painting and decorating has been done in the other halls. Yale locks have been put on all of the room doors. A large receiving room has been constructed as an addition to the college laundry, uniform in architecture with the power house. This improvement will greatly facilitate the handling of laundry for the one thousand "customers" of the plant. In spite of the fact that the college is dropping the two year normal curriculm, the outlook now is that there will be a capacity enrollment when the college opens on September twenty-nineth. Many two year graduates are returning to complete the work for the A. B. degree since school officials are demanding the "A" certificate of their teachers. A good number of teachers who already hold the "A" certificate but do not have the requirements for the A. B. degree are return- ing to complete the requirements for the degree. The commercial department, begun last year, is attracting many students to that field and it is the hope of the college that very soon it may begin to meet the demand in this state for high school commerical teachers. Larger numbers of students were registered in both terms of summer school this year than have attended any other summer school here for several years. It is believed, also, that the quali- ty of work done by the summer school students is improving year by year, and that it is of the same high quality required during the regular school year. $5,800.00 was spent for new books for the Library during the year ending July 1, 1936. About $5,000.00 is being expended for new books for the Library this year and the Librarian has been busy this summer getting the books ready for the use of students when the fall quarter opens. The college will have the benefit of the N. Y. A. again this year and the Self-help Committee has already made the self-help assignments and notified the applicants. The Committee has a wait- ing list of 200 applicants asking for work to help defray college expenses. Three artesian wells have been put down by the Lake to provide a constant stream of fresh water through the Lake. Freshmen will be registered Tuesday and Wednesday, September 29 and 30. Upper classmen will be registered Thursday, October 1st; Class work begins Friday, October 2nd. Some minor changes have been made in the registration procedure, effective at the beginning of the fall quarter. Permits to register will be secured in the Library, and students who did not pay the registration fee prior to September 29 will make application for admission, pay the regis- tration fee, and secure the permit to register in the Library. Student registration forms will be secured by all students in the lobby of the Robert H. Wright Building.
