Shortly after the close of the school year, 1901-02, Dr. Palmer, head of the Department of Chemistry in the University and for many years a strong and faithful nieniber of the faculty, received and accepted a call as President of the State School of Mines. The faculty and students felt the loss keenly, but We believe We have filled his place With a man Who, in time, will Win as strong a place in the esteem of the University and affection of the students. Dr. Ekeley assumed the duties of the Department of Chemistry in the fall of 1902, and it is the consensus of student opinion that he has fulfilled all the trying demands of thc place in the niost satisfactory manner.
