Q: In the mid to late 1930s, there was a massive upheaval of

senior professors and administrators, who were replaced by new

doctorate-holding personnel. What prompted the school board to take

such drastic measures?

A: At that time in history, higher-education posts required

doctorates, and CSU needed to meet its accreditation. In addition

to that, reports had been coming in from faculty and alumni that

the school was coming up short and needed a higher academic

ranking.
