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 de- grees. Beginning with the fall quarter 1937, students will have the opportunity to major in physical education. Mr. J. D. Alexander, who comes to the college from Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Tennessee, will be chairman of the department. Mr. Alexander has his B. S. degree from East Texas State Teachers College, Commerce, Texas; his M. A. degree from the University of Iowa, and is near completion of the work for the Ph. D. degree in physical education at George Peabody College, Nashville, Tennessee. Miss Lucille Norton, who was on leave of absence during the winter and spring quarters, 1937, following an automobile accident in which she was injured, has recovered and will return in the fall to resume her work in the physical education department. Dr. Daniel R. StuU, Dr. Elizabeth S. Brown, and Bliss Mary Caughey will be new members of the science department next year. Dr. StuU has been doing research work with the U. S. I. Chemical Company this year. He earned his doctor's degree at Johns Hopkins University, where he was assistant in the chemistry department for three years. Miss Brown earned her doctor's degree at the University of Chicago. Her major field of study was biology. Miss Caughey has the master's degree from Columbia University. She has been teacher of biology in the city schools of Chester, West Virginia, during the past three years. She takes the place of Miss Lorraine Hunter who is on leave of absence this year doing graduate work at George Peabody Col- lege for Teachers. Dr. Paul A. Toll is a new member of the faculty who will teach in the sociology and educa- tion departments. He secured the Ph. D. degree at the University of Ohio, where he has been teaching recently. Dr. W. A. Browne, Ph. D., George Peabody College for Teachers, will take the place in the geog- raphy department of Mr. LeMar Stephan who resigned last spring. Dr. Brovsm has been teach- ing in the State Teachers College at Nacogdoches, Texas. Miss Rosaline Ivey will be a new member of the home economics department. Miss Ivey is from Valdosta, Georgia. She secured the master's degree from George Peabody College, and has been teaching in the State Teachers College at Kalamazoo, Michigan.

A. degree from W. Ky. S. T. C, Bowling Green, Kentucky, will take the place of Miss Maude Adams in the commerce department. Miss Ellis has been teach- ing in the State Teachers College at Bowling Green. Miss Adams resigned to accept a position with the Woman's College of the University at Greenboro. Miss Mary D. Dormer, a graduate of Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, takes the place of Miss Dora E. Mead in the music department. Miss Dormer has been teaching in the State Teachers College at West Chester, Pennsylvania. Miss Mead is on leave for further study. Mrs Louella Stancill is taking the place in the training school of Miss Eunice McGee, during the fall quarter. Miss McGee is on leave for graduate study. Mrs. Stancill earned the bachelor's degree at East Carolina Teachers College and the master's degree at George Peabody College for Teachers. The director of the placement bureau noticed this year, as heretofore, a strong demand for teachers who could do extra-curricula work such as coach athletics, play the piano for recitals and assembly, teach public school music, direct glee dub. etc. Every prospective teacher should, if possible, develop some extra-curricula skill. The second annual high school day, conducted last spring, brnight to the campus for the day, April 15, 1937, about two thousand enthusiastic high school seniois and a faculty _ representative from each high school. A large number of parents were mcluded among the visitors. All of them seemed well pleased with their short visit to the college and it is quite certain that a con- siderable number of the visiting seniors will register in the college at the opening of the fall quarter. Wanted : the loan for a short time of a copy of the first issue of the Tecoan which it seems was published in or about 1923. If some kind friend will lend a copy to the Registrar he will see that it is taken care of and returned to the owner. A short story about the origin and early his- tory of the Tecoan will be most welcome. Practically all graduates of the past year who hold "A" certificates have secured teaching position^! and a fair number of those who graduated from the two-year curricula have also been employed, though most boards of education ha ve ruled against the employment of teachers with less than the "A" certificate. It is now quite well known that East Carolina Teachers College is no longer offering the two-year curricula which it has offered since its establishment in 1909. The last class in these curricula was graduated at the close of the summer session 1937. The college now offers only four-year curricula leading to the bachelor's (A. B.) degree, and the master's (M. A.) degree which requires a minimum of one year beyond the requirements for the bachelor's degree. Advance registrations for the fall quarter 1937 are far in advance of similar registrations for the fall quarter 1936. Only a small number of dormitory assignments remain to be made, and it is quite certain that all space will be engaged before the opening of the quarter on September 28. The summer school enrollment this year was the largest in many years and it was especially noticeable that the second summer term was much larger than usual. The quality of work done by summer school students continues to improve and keep apace with improved standards of work required during the regular school year. Many students of East Carolina Teachers College go to other colleges for advanced study and advanced degrees after completing their work here. These students have no difficulty in meet- ing the requirements for admission and no trouble in measuring up to the standards of scholar- ship required in graduate schools. One of our graduates is now attending a dental college in Baltimore, another is attending Vanderbilt Medical School in Nashville, Tennessee, to mention only two instances. The college will again have the benefit of the N. Y. A. funds for worthy students but the amount available this year is two thirds of the amount provided last year. The self-help commit- tee has made the assignments of work under the provision of the N. Y. A. and notified all ap- plicants. The committee has a waiting list of more than two hundred fifty requesting self-help work to assist with their college expenses. The Fall Quarter 1937 opens September 28. Freshmen registration is Tuesday and Wednes- day September 28 and 29. Upper Classmen will be registered Thursday, September 30, and class work will begin October 1st. Permits to register are being mailed out to those who made reservations in advance. Students who do not receive the permit by mail will secure it in the Library on registration day, as will all students who did not make application for admission or pay the registration fee well in advance of registration day. Student registration forms will be secured as usual in the lobby of the Kobert H. Wright Building on registration day.
