SCHOOLS and COLLEGES College of Agriculture OPERATING on four campuses, Davis, Berkeley. Riverside, and Los Angeles, the College of Agriculture plans ahead. Notable along the construction line is the new School of Veterinary Medicine, soon to be established at Davis. This progressive college includes resident instruction and California Agriculture Extension Service. Too busy to have a hobby, Dean CLAUDE B. HUTCHISON of the College of Agriculture is vice-president of the University, fisherman, smoker, and takes up three quarters of a page in Who ' s Who. College of Ch:emistry COMPLETION of the huge Chemistry building highlighted the College of Chem- istry this year. This represents the first increase in space for the college since 1919. Here possible classes in micro and ultra-micro chemistry will be held. Such studies figured prominently in the atomic energy program. Gilman Hall will be used to a greater extent for chemical engi- neering classes. Dynamic Dean of the College of Chemistry, WENDALL M. LATIMER, even found time on his busy schedule to make frequent trips to Washington on government business.

Scheduling appointments with the Dean of Women and giving advice to perplexed students makes busy programs for the assistants in 201 Administrations. OFFICE of the Registrar . . . General Informa- tion . . . Office of the President . . . Office of the Dean of Letters and Sciences . . . Office of the Dean of Women . . . spacious halls with por- traits of leading university officials - - all are impressions gathered on entering the Adminis- tration Building, white edifice at the Sather Gate entrance. Here students gather to seek information and advice on their majors, purchase Charter Day tickets, obtain loans, locate addresses of fellow students and join the throng that always seem busy with important affairs. HURFORD E. STONE rarely finds an opportunity to pursue his love of hunting for he is one of the busiest of Cal ' s administrators. As Dean of Students he assists in student governmental problems and acts as a mem- ber of Finance and Executive Committees. GIGANTIC is the responsibility placed on the overloaded desks of Cal ' s leading administrators, the deans. Office of the Dean of Students, headed by Hurford E. Stone, has no menial task in assisting undergraduates and graduates in countless problems. Mrs. Mary B. Davidson acts as con- sultant for living accommodations, finance and student discipline. Aiding the male population is Chaffee E. Hall, Jr., Assistant Dean of Men, while acting Dean Morris A. Stewart is the top authority for graduate students. Through their cooperation with student government and action on student petitions, efficient university coordination is achieved. A most engaging person is the concensus of opinion among co-workers and friends when speaking about MORRIS A. STEWART, Dean of the Graduate Division. No time to indulge in outside activities whatsoever, as his time is taken up by guiding graduates and studying parasitology. Everything to do with petticoats is the burden of MARY B. DAVIDSON, Dean of Women. Dean Davidson still manages to find moments of relaxation in the art of knitting, reading or gardening. CHAFFEE E. HALL, JR. is just as loyal a Bear as when he edited the Daily Cal. He now devotes time and much effort to his alma mater in the capacity of Assistant Dean of Men, and his summers are spent writing in the Santa Cruz Mountains. 26
