The child research wing of Haworth Hall at the University of Kansas has been named in honor of the late John T. Stewart II of Wellington.
New Haworth wing named
The Kansas Board of Regents approved the recommendation of Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. that the facility be called the John T. Stewart Children's Center. The facility is a part of the Kansas Center for Research in Mental Retardation, which also includes research structures at Parsons and Kansas City.
The two-story Children's Center has about 23,000 square feet of classroom and laboratory space. It is used primarily by the departments of human development and family life, speech and drama and the Bureau of Child Research and the School of Education.
The facility was one of the objectives of the University's Program for Progress, the capital funds' campaign through which more than $19,600,000 was contributed to the University in the past three years. A substantial gift to provide a portion of the funds required for the child research wing was made by the son and daughter-in-law of Mr. Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Stewart III of Wellington.
The late John T. Stewart II was a member of the KU class
of 1911. In addition to an active and extensive business career in banking and real estate, he became widely recognized for his leadership in youth, educational and church activities. He became a trustee of the KU Endowment Association in 1929 and was elected to the executive committee of the Association in 1938, serving until his death in 1949. His devotion to the University was recognized by gifts to establish with the Endowment Association the John T. Stewart Memorial Scholarship Fund shortly after his death.
The younger Stewart and his wife, the former Linda Bliss, are alumni of KU. Since graduation in 1958, Stewart has been active
in many phases of alumni activity. Like his father, he is a trustee of the Endowment Association and on its executive committee. He is a member of the advisory board to the School of Business and serves on the University's Athletic Board. He is executive vice-president of Welco Aerospace Corporation in Wellington.
"The name of John T. Stewart II is highly appropriate distinction for the Children's Center, and one we are proud to have permanently identified with the University," Chancellor Chalmers said. "In their generous gifts to the Program for Progress, John and Linda Stewart have epitomized the loyalty, dedication and service of alumni which have done much to make this University great."
The child research wing contains facilities for training graduate students and modern laboratories for the study of child behavior. It is under the direction of Dr. Richard L. Schiefelbusch, Director of the Bureau of Child Research.
Among its specialized facilities are a laboratory for research in early childhood educaton, with a parallel program for training prospective teachers; a speech and language clinic, an advanced audio and visual laboratory, classrooms and clinical observation rooms and a motion picture production studio.
Independent study offered
The Extramural Independent Study Center of University Extension wants students to know their alternatives. The University of Kansas permits up to thirty hours of independent study to apply toward a degree program, no more than six hours of which may be received during the last thirty hours of credit earned for a degree. The Extramural Independent Study Center offers
many courses which help meet degree requirements. The new catalog lists these courses with detailed descriptions. Students who intend to enroll in independent study need the written consent of their deans to insure credit on their official transcripts.
Student Services personnel, directed by Mrs. Vivian McCoy, have planned a special summer school enrollment day June 11.
Enrollments can be completed any week day, however, in the portable building at Oread and Baumgartner Drive, directly north of the Kansas Union.
The official summer session schedule also provides this information on page 5. Many students use the summer months to accelerate their college programs through independent study.
