Known the world over as a great scholar and a lecturer who knows the magnificent value of words is MONROE E. DEUTSCH, Vice-Presi- dent and Provost of the Berkeley campus. THIS University, like the other institutions in this country, has been facing this year a situation unprecedented in the history of American higher education, and indeed of the whole world. We have all been flooded with students, primarily G.I. ' s. In addition, however, the various countries of Europe and Asia, whose uni- versities have suffered so grievously in the war, have in larger num- ber than ever before, sent students to us. And we have been glad to welcome them because their presence is the best means for build- ing the international world for which mankind has been yearning. We have had many problems, there have been difficulties of all kinds encountered, but the cheerfulness and good humor with which the University and community have met them has been in- spiring. It means, however, that American universities have this year had the greatest opportunity in their history and we are hope- ful that the fruits of the work of this year and succeeding years will mean much in the life of the American people. HURFORD E. STONE is one of the busiest of the University ' s administrators. Dean of students is a full-time job in itself, but Dean Stone also acts as the president ' s representative at Ex Com- mittee meetings. 22

D E A N S O F C O L L E G E S Back from China, where he studied conditions on a United States agriculture mission, CLAUDE B. HUTCHINSON divided his time between traveling as vice-president of the University and working as dean of the College of Agriculture. He has a reputation for thoroughness, fairness, and the ability to leave no stone unturned! WENDELL M. LATIMER, dean of the College of Chemistry, re- c eived an invitation from the National Academy of Science to go to Japan as an advisor to General MacArthur in regard to science and industry in Japan. A Guggenheim Fellow in 1930, Dean Lati- mer carried great weight in university life today, and write some of the best Little Willie poetry possible! I GEORGE P. ADAMS, dean of the College of Letters and Science, has journeyed to Europe three times, collects stamps, and works at cabinet making. He likes dogs, even the ones on campus. Some- one has described him as an outstanding scholar and an ex- ceptional administrator. Need we say more? One of the best hydraulic men in the country is MORROUGH P. O ' BRIEN, dean of the College of Engineering. He has spent much time in Sweden, and did wave investigation for the Navy during the war. He never relaxes, and always gives full credit to those working under him. A battered disreputable old hat that he wears on rainy days is the trademark of E T. GRETHER, dean of the School of Business Administration. His hearty laugh has been in Europe and the Orient. Pleasant, friendly, Dean Grether gardens and plays often with his young son, David. WARREN C. PERRY, dean of the Col- lege of Architecture, designed Edwards Field, and has a great fondness for literature. A mechanical wizard, he has put an elevator in his home and made a sailboat for his family. His accom- plishments certainly do not end in the field of architecture.
