THE GROWTH OF THE UNIVERSITY PART

The first of three articles on the over-all growth of the University, particularly over the last ten years, this article will describe recent evidenc.es of growth at Eastern Michigan University from the standpoint of instruction. Because of limitations of time and space, this article obviously can not deal with every evidence of growth that could be cited but must be general and rather selective in its examples. Two future articles will discuss, respectively, the growth of the physical plant and facilities of the University, and increases in the quantity and quality of student services at Eastern over the Last ten years. In 1953, Eastern Michigan University was still in education, special education, history, geography, called Michigan Scace Normal College-for a long and science methods, and chis cooperative plan con­ rime, a suitable name for the first Scace normal school tinued for fifteen years. Ten years ago, the University in Michigan, founded in the spring of 1849 and orig­ was given permission co grant its own master's de­ inally named Michigan Scace Normal School.

Each semester has however, the need became increasing! y apparent co shown an increase in enrollment, and according co re-christen our College with a name more descriptive James H. Glasgow, Dean of the Graduate School, of its location, and, consequently, by act of the State nearly 3,000 graduate studentsare enrolled, on and off Legislature in the session of 1955, the College be­ campus, for the current fall semester. The Graduate came Eastern Michigan College. The educational Office has record cards for 11,100 students who have aims and objectives of the College were gradually been admitted co the Graduate School, and more than undergoing modification and expansion coo, and the 2,000 master's degrees have been granted. Ten years Scace Legislature recognized chis face by approving ago, only one graduate program was offered, for ele­ the most important name change of all for the institu­ mentary school teachers. Today there are 19 programs, tion by granting it University status on June 1, 1959. and additional programs are under study.

Currently under study are programs in home eco­ ences and the College of Education followed rapidly. nomics, chemistry, mathematics, and music.

According co Dean Glasgow, "That there is a demand for graduate work beyond a master's degree is shown by the enrollment for the spring semester of 1963, when 9 per cent of the graduate students enrolled at Eastern held master's degrees. In the Middle We st there are several institutions similar co Eastern, and they are offering doctoral degrees for teachers. It is probable chat [our] Univer­ sity will follow their lead." Julius M. Robinson, Director of Summer Session, reports chat the total enrollment in summer session has increased each year since 1959, except in 1960 when there was a slight decrease of 1.5%. The grad­ uate enrollment has increased consistently for the past five years, but the undergraduate enrollment surpassed the 1959 enrollment only in 1963. For the summer session of 1963, the graduate enrollment (head count) increased 18%, and the undergraduate Biology class enrollment also increased by the same race.

Eastern is especially proud of its teacher education program's continued association with the Somali Republic. In September of 1962, EMU and the Agency for Inter­ nacional Development, a branch of che U.S. Depart­ ment of Stace, signed a contract which provides chat several members of the EMU faculty will give tech­ nical advice and assistance for the improvement of teacher education in the Somali Republic during che next three years. The contract is the result of a pre­ liminary survey made in the summer of 1961 by R. Stanley Gex, Dean of the College of Education at Eastern, and Ronald J. Slay, professor of education. Under the terms of the contract, faculty members selected for the project will assist in both pre-service and inservice preparation of teachers, will advise the Ministry of Education on teacher training and elementary education, and will prepare Somali spe­ cialises at the Teacher Training Institute in Afgoi, Somali. Dean Gex was assigned as chief of party for the project, and his staff includes Eugene H. Freund, Robert S. Robinson, Edmond W. Goings, (faculty members at Eastern), Marion Gibbins, and Jacqueline M. Henderson, project secretary. Thomas 0. Monahan, associate professor of education ac Eastern, was named campus coordinator for the project, and main­ tains an office in Pierce Hall. Dean Gex anticipates renegotiation of the contract after its expiration date in 1965. The aim of the project is co develop Somali Educational television EASTERN DEDICATES ALUMNI MEMORIAL CLOCK PLAQUE
