The necessity of aiding students
who are unsure of their objectives
in college led to the establishment
of the Basic Division at A&M.
Many faculty members have hail
ed the Basic Division as the great
est thing that has happened here
since the school was founded.
John R. Bertrand has been Dean
of the Basic Division since it was
organized in 1950. The Basic Di
vision is the fifth school of the
college, on an equal standing with
the others. However, it does not
grant degrees.
Three Classifications
The division’s progi’am is di
vided into three general classifi
cations: ■ administration, testing
and counseling and group guid
ance.
Clifford H. Ransdell, assistant
to the dean, is in charge of ad
ministration, which is the office
work of running the division.
Ransdell also teaches.
Testing and counseling is under
the supervision of Dr. Robert Ja
cobs, director of counseling. His
department handles vocational and
aptitude tests, as well has some
of the individual counseling.
Dr. A. J. Kingston is the di
rector of guidance. Group guid
ance takes the form of classroom
work, offering courses on choos
ing a career, library work, and
similar subjects. The Remedial
ivuding program is alsp under
Kj ngstpq,. - 5 1- M % ' ” ’

Other members of . the. Basic'
staff-' are Awston Korley, assistant:
guidance director, A. M. Denton,
remedia}' reading and vocational
counselor, and W. Dee Kutach, vo
cational counselor.
The operation and function of
the Basic Division are best given
in the aims declared when it was
founded:
® To give first year students
closer supervision than is ordinar
ily given.
• To assist students who have
not definitely decided on a field
of study in making this decision
during their first year of college
work. . j
• To give beginning college
students the benefit of guidance
by people professionally trained
to operate a guidance program.
® To supply the various schools
of the college with a highly se
lected group of students fully pre
pared to carry on specialized train
ing necessary for a profession and
outstanding citizenship.
