Hutchin on As dean of the community college the work of Dean John H. Hutch- inson goes beyond that which is ordin- arily required of the dean of a college. In addition to his regular work, he makes up the college program and schedule. To keep his students in- formed, he writes and distributes a program of advertising to put the community college before the citizens of Des Moines who constitute a ma- jority of the community college en- rollment. In the last six semesters Dean Hutch- inson has watched his college grow from an enrollment of l85 to ll00. He says some of his most enjoyable hours have been spent in the last three years on the student-faculty council. Dean Hutchinson received his bach- elor of education degree from Illinois State Normal college and his master -of arts and doctor of philosophy de- grees from the University of Chicago. Bohlman Sensing a great increase in the im- portance of graduate degrees, Dean Herbert W. Bohlman, dean of the graduate division, hopes for a corres- ponding increase in the field of grad- uate work. This does not mean an expansion in subject areas but more work in the present fields. As has been the case in the past, the majority of graduate degrees will continue to be given in the field of education. Dean Bohlman feels that there is greater pressure for teachers with more instruction. He anticipates a great increase in master of arts de- grees since the demand in all fields is for more preparation. Dean Bohlman received his bachelor of arts degree from Lawrence col- lege. He also received master of arts and doctor of philosophy degrees from the University of Wisconsin. Brillhart Since coming here in l946 Dean Rus- sell E. Brillhart has felt the need in the pharmacy college for more re- search work in pharmacy and allied fields - particularly in the field of manufacturing pharmacy, since a great many students go into this work. Dean Brillhart would also like to see some graduate work done in phar- macy. Dean Brillhart received his bachelor of arts degree from Pennsylvania uni- versity. From the Philadelphia Col- lege of Pharmacy and Science, Dean Brillhart received bachelor and mas- ter of science degrees in pharmacy. He participated in the research and the production of penicillium when it first came out.

talnaker Many new courses have been added to the liberal arts curriculum since Dean Luther VV. Stalnaker joined the Drake staff in 1927. This has made it necessary for everybody, especially the faculty, to re-educate himself and adjust to something entirely new and different. Although nothing is def- inite, plans for further reorganization are being considered, Dean Stalnaker said. He would like to see the sociology department enlarged to in- clude the field of social welfare, more courses in the field of city government and public administration, and a greater emphasis on citizenship. Dean Stalnaker says that as a result of observations made in his travels he feels that Drake is academically far ahead of many schools. He received his bachelor of arts degree from Drake and doctor of philosophy de' gree from Yale university. Macomber Since he came to Drake in 1946 Dean F. G. Macomber has tried to guide the education college along the line of practice what you preach . This program will be emphasized even more in the near future, Dean Macomber says. All faculty members in the education college share his viewpoint. He believes that many colleges of education teach new and advanced methods of teaching yet do not apply them within their own col- leges. Dean Macomber received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Washingtoii and his master of arts and doctor of education degrees from Leland Stanford university. He served five years with the army, part of which was spent as executive of- ficer of the army academic division at Biarritz, France. Tollef on Dean Martin Tollefson believes that the teaching of law is an individual matter and has made future plans for the law college with this in mind. He feels that it should be more of a lab- oratory course, with more research and more written law reviews. He wants to make law training more practical so that the student may step from the classroom to the courtroom and, feeling perfectly at home, do his work there with ease, speed and ac- curacy. Dean Tollefson received his bachelor of arts degree from St. Olaf college in Northfield, Minn., a master of arts degree from the University of North Dakota and bachelor of laws and doc- tor of philosophy degrees from the University of Minnesota. He served five years with the legal branch of the army. 14
