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.

CALIFORNIA Just mention Mexico and you have a real enthusiast on your hands CARL 0. SAUER, chairman of the geography department. He is known for his good sense of humor, his ability to express himself clearly and concisely, and his hard exams. Ask any of his students about the latter. He makes numerous trips to South America, where he rides the country ' s back roads on a mule, seeing everything first-hand. Receiving his doctor ' s degree from Chicago University, he has been at Cal since 1923. It seems quite natural, being in the geography department, that he also likes gardening in his own back yard. Professor JOEL HILDEBRAND, once introduced by President Sproul as the only full professor known to dive successfully from the high diving board of the men ' s gym, is a great outdoorsman. He stroked the University of Pennsylvania varsity crew in his college days, he is the co-author of Camp Catering, and is now, in spite of his years, an ardent skier. Although his lectures are always forceful, his personal charm and grandparental pride are great. He has given the lectures in Chem 1A for 33 years, and has served as Dean of the College of Letters and Science. Incidentally, he is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a recipi- ent of national and international honors. With a twinkle in his eye, Professor WILLIAM H. ALEXANDER informed us that he labors under the ancient delusion that the student is still the most important thing about a university. As chairman of the classics department, this vibrant personality suc- ceeds in showing his students the ancient basis of our own great literature in an interesting manner. He likes to do mechanical jobs in his shop, and putter in his garden. We didn ' t tell him, but we agree with him about the student being important! Traveling doesn ' t appeal to him, but travel books, especially on Central Asia, do. So says PERRY BYERLY, seismology professor and assistant Dean of the College of Letters and Science. His work is his hobby, which may account for his fellowship in Cambridge University in the late twenties. His dry wit has made him particu- larly popular since he came here in 1929. Prolific author of articles and books is Austrian-born ROBERT H. LOWIE, authority on Plains Indians and chairman of the anthro- pology department. At one time associated with the American Museum of Natural History, he has been on many expeditions for the study of Indian culture. A visiting associate professor in 1917-18, he returned in 1921. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and Honorary Fellow of the Royal Anthropo- logical Institute of Great Britain and Ireland. Friendly, famous and modest is ROGER SESSIONS of the music department. When he isn ' t working on his opera Montezuma, he ' s playing with his two youngsters or reading books. His life is varied, having spent eight years in Italy, France and Germany, where he spoke all three languages fluently. He also taught Ameri- can history, and has heard Pierre Monteux play his 2nd Symphony. He admits, with a broad smile, that he sometimes dabbles in politics. I K-,
