He will divide his time between the President's Edwardsville office and that of Vice President HAROLD W. SEE. MYERS .TO TEACH AT SIU To most of us the name of Dr. Alonzo F. Myers is very familiar. Many of us have met him personally. It was he who made the analysis of higher education needs in southwestern Illinois which was instrumental in establishing SIU facilities in this .area in 1957. Engaged in 1956 by the Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education .to make a survey of the extent and nature of needs for higher education in Madison and St. Clair counties, Myers' comprehensive study pointed out that the percentage of college graduates in the two-county area was only half that of the state and n.a tion as a whole; that firms in the two counties could employ 200-250 engineering graduates each year, 120 to 240 business administration majors, and 65 chemists--if they were available; and that the demand for additional teachers would be so great by 1961 that the two-county area would need to generate a supply of up to two-thirds of the number of new teachers it would need. When Myers retires in .September from the chairmanship of New York University's higher education department, he will go to Carbondale to teach .at SIU during the fall quarter.
