Title

Commencement, August 1954, photo 3

Description

This image shows a line of graduating students walking past the Men's Gymnasium, built 1934, towards College Field for commencement exercises. By 1948, the Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967) summer school was composed of regular students as well as graduate students working towards a master's degree. Teachers already in the workforce would attend the summer school as it did not interfere with the regular school year. There were 165 graduate degrees conferred in the summer of 1954.
