Department leads Long-awaited material recognition came at last to Idaho's hard-working faculty as much- needed pay boosts were given the go-ahead by state government machinery. Faced by rising costs of living, Vandal faculty members found the road to higher salaries a rough one. Some solved the problem by accepting more lucrative offers elsewhere; most remained on the Moscow campus to sweat out legislative action. On the shoulders of the department heads and faculty members pictured on the following pages lies the burden of educating Idaho youth. Final results of Gem State higher education depends largely upon them. Rarely making the headlines, these men and women have done much to overcome the problem of heavy post-war enrollment and the resulting overcrowded classrooms, heavy schedules, and after-hour instruction. Gripes of faculty members are numerous, but they subordinate them to listen to student problems. For struggling, bewildered freshmen and school-wise seniors and graduate students, these faculty members are advisors, teachers, and pals. Their efforts in adverse circumstances have done much to place the University near the top among western educational institutions. Roy Anderson Ceology J. W. Barton Psychology fleah A. Beecher C. J.

University Deans One of the best known of Idaho deans is white-haired T. S. Kerr, head man in the College of Letters and Science since 1937. Since his arrival as an University faculty member in 1924, Dean Kerr has been one of the busiest of the Vandal teaching staff. As an authority on busi- ness law, he has published several books on the subject: finds time to help formu- late Vandal athletic policy as a member of Idaho's athletic faculty board. New dean of the Vandal College of Agri- culture is Dr. D. R. Tneopuiius, long- time Idaho faculty member, who took over the job of guiding the courses of ambitious young agricultural students last fall. Dean Theophilus did most of his studying at lowa State College, re- ceiving three degrees from that school. He has a daughter attending the Uni- versity, a son in high school. Comparatively speaking, Dean J. F. WELTZIN is a newcomer to the ranks of Vandal teachers. However, seventeen years of educational experience are ample proof of the qualifications he pos- sesses for his present position. He was appointed the Dean of the School of Education in the fall of 1944 after hay- ing previously directed a school of edu- cation at Denver. He studied at the University of North Dakota and at Columbia. In his spare time he manages to write numerous articles on education, - 2 g : 2 Page twenty-nine
