Graduate School Builds
After Slump During W ar
Enrollment of graduate: students
has increased more than' a. dozen
fold from the low point of 43 at
the end of World War II* Dr. I.
P. Trotter, graduate school dean,
has announced. | |
The number of departments of
fering graduate work has increased
too, and advanced work now may
be done in 43 departments. Not
aU of the 43 departments are able
to grant graduate degrees. Dr.
Trotter pointed out, but most of
them are. (
In the spring semester of the
1944-45, the low point nehr the
close of the war, 43 students were
enrolled in the graduate school.

Weikel ;has been a sportswr
for 15 years, in San Antonio, I 1 ort
Worth and DaUas. He also served
a stint asisports publicity man
Texas A&M. .

"You kinow I really won’t t

umpired in the Longhorn League
on my vacation a couple of ] years
ago. Chased my first player bup
the game, then."
T Clarence has really been u:
ing almost as long a he has

He was a] member of an umpu’i
sociation in San Antonio that
j dueed Mike Williamson and Aindl
[ Andrews: for the Texas Leai

for the Majors.
| "I’m brushing up on technique at
; Lefty Craig’s Umpire School 4t

) "Then I think I’ll connect jvitki

Craig works out of the of fide bf

Some <bf his pals are wondejriflg
if Weikel will like his neW care:
“Well,” he says, "ft’s still
you can’t beat the hours.”
The next year, enrollment zoom
ed to 220. It continued to climb
until the number of graduate stu
dents enrolled during the fall term
of 1949-50, stood at 529—more
than 12 times the enrollment in the
spring of 1943. The enrollment
dropped to around 460 for the cur
rent semester, however. !
An Increase In the percentage of
graduate students to the total en
rollment of the college also may be
noted. In 1923, when the college’s
total enrollment was 1,988, grad
uate students made up 1.2 per cent
of the btudent body.
In 19-10, there were 6,534 enrolled
and graduate students comprised
4.4 per bent of-the total.
Percentage Climbs i
The ne*t year, 1949, the total
enrollment took a sizeable drop
to 7,7738, but the percentage of
graduate students mounted'to 6.5.
College officials expect tttts trend
—a decrease in, overall enrollment
and an j increase in the percentage
of graduate students—to continue.
The decrease In enrollment is
due to the fact that ex-service men
whose educations were postponed
because of the war are completing
their studies. The increase in the
percentage of graduate students
is in line with a national trend
toward higher education. S
To bear this out. Dr. Trotter
cited figures showing that enroll-
men in American colleges and uni
versities now equals the enrollment
in secondary schools in 1919-20.
Field Expanded
As the trend toward graduate
study progresses, officials at the
college are making every effort to
expand the field of study from
which graduate students may
choose.
Present departments are being
expanded, insofar a|s possible, to in
clude graduate study, and hew de
partments are being added, pri
marily to offer a graduate pro
gram.
Ah example Is the new Ocean
ography Department, offering pri
marily a graduate program to aug
ment the liberal education of stu
dents with a background in en
gineering, biological science or a
physical science.
Expaasion Cited
The Range and Forestry De
partment recently was expanded to
include a graduate curriculum.
, ! And the School j of Veterinary
Medicine is in the jprocess of build
ing up a first class graduate pro
gram, one of the few of its kind
in the nation. j
Dr. Trotter pointed out that it
is difficult to outline a definite
plan for expanding facilities for
advanced study. But on the whole,
he said, “The program of the grad
uate school is one of healthy ex
pansion.” 11 j ^

His scoring feats have won him
high praise even before this season,
