Dean Stockton Dreams Of A State-Wide Campus
A University campus with the entire state a potential student body is the dream of Dean F. T. Stockton, of University Extension. He hopes that at least a portion of his dream will be realized within the next four years.
The dream evolved from the growing need for expansion of our adult education program as seen by Dean Stockton.
"Such programs," he pointed out, "are moving forward throughout the United States, and unless the University is to be left behind, it is imperative that we improve our facilities."
A continuation study center, nucleus of the state-wide campus, is the first and most important step. Dean Stockton hopes that a new building for this unit can be completed within the next few years.
Study Center Is First
The center is for benefit of persons enrolled in extension courses, institute, conferences, workshops, and other groups that come to the campus each year to attend special courses that last from two days to two weeks.
More than three thousand persons came to the Lawrence center for courses during the past year.
Some of these groups included the Court Reporters' school, Steelworkers Union institute. Debate institute, the Kansas Bank Management clinic, Peace Officer's school, Health Education work shop, and life and property insurance schools.
They usually range in size from the art conference with an attendance of 326 down to the motor Fleet Supervisors' course with an attendance of 30. The Christian Frontiers and Pastor's conference during the Christmas holidays were attended by approximately 2,000 persons.
Center To House 2.000
One suggestion is that the center be erected across the street from the Union. There it would provide easy access to the Union, and that location is the only unoccupied spot on the campus large enough to accommodate a building of the size needed.
The building will be a combination hotel and University classroom. It is expected to house 2,000 persons, with small rooms for classes, committee meetings, and offices. There will also be a cafeteria, and an auditorium for visual instruction.
The building would provide underground parking for cars. It should be air-conditioned and have elevators, the dean said. Adults can't scamper up and down stairs like University students, and the building will be especially for adults.
Two-hundred wives of University students living at Sunflower have enrolled for the eight afternoon adult education classes starting Tuesday. The classes are to be held in the K.U. Dames club room at Sunflower.
200 Enroll At Sunflower
The short courses are being offered by University extension in answer to requests made in recent weeks and will have meetings weekly, and others will have ten.
Courses offered are drawing and sketching, international affairs, sewing, literature, and book reviewing, interior decoration, child care, creative writing, and marriage and family relations.
A silver luster bust of Shakespeare is being shown at the museum of art as the masterpiece of the month for February. Although it is not marked, this bust was probably made by the firm of Enoch Wood who began work in 1783 in Burslem, England, or by Wedgewood, the great English potter.
Mrs. Elizabeth Schreiber, K.U. representative at the village, said the enrollment fee also will include free nursery service during class hours.
This bust was selected from the museum's collection of lusterware as a timely display in connection with the "Cry of Players," a play about Shakespeare, to be given in Frazer theater during the Arts and Crafts festival.
Silver lusterware was produced by potters of Staffordshire in England during the 19th century. This process of using salts of platinum as a metallic glaze over a pottery base was developed for the poorer groups who could not afford items of solid silver or plated ware.
