Ten years ago, in my report for the biennium ending June 30, 1951, the words "the mushrooming enrollments now in ele­ mentary and secondary schools will reach the colleges beginning in 1960" served as a prelude to discussion of the pressing needs such increased enrollment would involve--needs for additional physical facilities, for selective recruitment of students to meet the increasing demand for public school teachers, for curricular changes and development of new areas of service, for further development of effective graduate instruction. In the ensuing decade, as Ball State Teachers College pre­ pared to meet these various needs, the many programs offered by the College were expanded. Expansion, in turn, necessitated reorganization, particularly in the area of instructional affairs. This reorganization was of central concern during the biennium

ending June 30, 1961, which this report covers. The band rehearsal room is in the music area of the extension to the Music-English-Auditorium Plans were formulated to reorganize the instructional affairs Building. The extension, constructed during the 1959-61 biennium, .includes the coll~ge area, administered by the Vice President of Instructional Affairs theater and the communications area as well as the musIc rehearsal section. and Dean of Faculties, into three divisions under the direction of separate deans and into three staff program areas headed by associate deans.

Approximately 1,550 college students had participation assignments during 1959- II 61 and made approximately 6,400 class visitations in Burris. Development of the program based on modern mathematics instructional materi­ als, now used quite widely in the state and the nation, was inaugurated during the II biennium. II GRADUATE PROGRAM To support the new doctoral pro­ grams (see p. 3) , 20 teaching fellowships were created. These fellowships carry an annual stipend of $3,600 and are available for a two-year period. In addition, Ball II State Teachers College was awarded three National Defense Fellowships for doctoral candidates under Title IV of the National Defense Education Act of 1958. These fel­ lowships are also for a two-year period and carry an annual stipend of $2,200, plus $400 for each dependent. 11 The joint doctoral programs with Indiana University (cooperative Doctor of Ed­ ucation degree in ten areas of education) and with Purdue University (cooperative Doctor of Philosophy degree in guidance and counseling) continue to provide cross­ II utilization of faculties and facilities. To date, 17 students have completed the require­ ments for the joint Ed.D. degree with Indiana University, and one student has com­ pleted the Ph.D. degree with Purdue University. In 1961, 29 students were enrolled II in the joint Ed.D. program with Indiana University and six in the joint Ph.D. pro­ gram with Purdue University. The Speciallst in Education degree is now offered in nine areas of education and in social science, the Master of Arts in Education degree in 24 study areas, and the 1945 1947 1949 1951 1953 1955 1957 1959 Master of Arts degree in the various subject fields. A sixth-year, non-degree program 1947 1949 1951 1953 1955 1957 1959 1961 prepares high school principals and school superintendents for certification. Total graduate registrations and the number of masters' degrees granted have increased markedly since the biennium of 1945-47, as shown in the graph that follows. Total registration includes all graduate student registrations every quarter In 1959-61 there were over four times as many total registrations as in 1951-53.

Direct services in adult education consisted of the evening and Saturday pro­ gram, the part-time evening college program, and special services requested by vari­ ous groups. The total evening and Saturday enrollment in credit courses reached 5,706 in 1959-60 and 5,793 in 1960-61. Special noncredit courses included Real Estate, Ap­ prentice Mold Makers, Prescription Footwear Applicators, and Office Personnel in Business. Progress has been made in sponsoring cooperative research among school systems, an area in which increased activities are anticipated. The Office of Extended Services helped plan in-service education programs and sponsored new activities for which con­ tact with the field indicated a need.
