Mr. Crawford is a graduate of Morehouse College and a Master of Arts from the University of Colorado. He has done additional graduate work at Columbia University and the University of Chicago and is a candidate for the doctorate in History at the University of Chicago. He has had several years of college teaching experience and comes to Municipal College from Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte, North Carolina, where he was head of the department of history and political science. Henry S. Wilson, assistance professor of chemistry and chairman of the natural sciences division, will reassume his teaching duties after having the past year in study at Indiana University, from which he received the doctorate in chemistry in June. Miss Virginia M. Lacy, librarian, also returns from a year
  of study in the Library School of the University of Illinois, which conferred upon her the degree of Master of Arts in Library Science. Mrs. Nancy B. Woolridge, instructor in English, has been granted a leave of absence for this year to study at the University [of?] Chicago under the terms of a General Education Board fellowship. During her absence Dean Lane and Mrs. Hazel B. Williams, instructor in German and English, will join with Miss Henrietta L. Herod, head of the department, in carrying on the work of the department of English. Other Changes and Items of Interest. Beginning with this year the department of education will function as a separate department cooperating with all divisions instead of as a member of the division of social sciences. The freshman survey course will be extended from one semester to two and will be reorganized so as to add materials in personal health, hygiene, and social culture. The sophomore course in problems of the Negro in American life, offered for the first time last year, will be continued, as will the courses in library science designed to prepare teacher-librarians for secondary and elementary schools.  For the convenience of students and faculty members the college book store has been moved from its former location to lighter and airier quarters in Steward Hall, just across from the administrative offices and adjoining the libary. During the summer the grading and campus beautification which has been going on for some months under W. P. A. auspices has continued and is nearing completion. Football enthusiasts will be glad to learn that entirely new equipmnt has been purchased, that the use of a practice field near the college has been secured, and that an addition to the coaching staff has been made in the person of Melvin ("Mel") Whedbee, who will be backfield coach again after an absence of a year.

GRAND JURY FREES KRAMER  David Kramer, former grocer at Tenth and Magazine Sts., was freed by the Jefferson County Grand Jury last week, before which he was arraigned on the charges of manslaughter and arson. The charges against Kramer were the result of the mysterious burning of the grocery and from which Ulysses Mathis, 16, who was employed by Kramer received burns which proved fatal. On his death bed the colored youth told the authorities that Kramer promised to pay him $50.00 to set fire to the store, after he had collected the insurance. The youth who was severely burned from the explosion died at the City Hospital. In the opinion of the grand jury, the evidence was insufficient to indict and convict Kramer.
