Eighteen J U N OR COLLEGE ' EAN of the Junior College and cr.m- paratively new at the job, Mr. Helser serves also as Director of Personnel. He came to us straight from the Animal Husbandry Department, and at one time served as Assistant to the President along with his other two positions. Radiating a charming and interesting personality himself. Dean Helser is an ardent admirer of character in men. His coordination and fine sense of humor have won friends for him among the entire faculty and stu- dent body. The freshmen and sophomores who find difficulty in becoming adjusted to the new life at Iowa State have discovered that Dean Helser is the one to see. He is the pilot at the helm, the sympathetic listener, the one who conscientiously endeavors to straighten out troubles in or out of class work. M. D.

Sevenleeit YY ITH the presidency of a college goes the power to initiate policies which will ultimately determine the success or failure of the enterprise. EfRciency, ex- perience and fineness of character have fitted President Hughes for his position as the guide of the enterprise which is Iowa State College. His resignation as president of Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, in 1927, to accept the presidency of Iowa State, brought to us a man whose ideal is to assist others in the realiza- tion of their ambitions— a man who radiates an unselfish, impartial and kindly personality. President Hughes has been active in the service of the Association of American Colleges, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the National Association of State Universities, and the American Council ' on Education, in each of which he has at one time served as secretary.

FACULTY PRESIDENT ' S OFFICE JLn 1909 George Godfrey graduated from Iowa State and from the Agricultural Division. For several years he was a member of the agricultural staff. Then he returned to farming, where his main interest lay. It was not until September, 1933, that Mr. God- frey came back to Iowa State. This time it was to serve as Assistant to the President in Agriculture. A man or woman who is as unpretentious as he, is the kind of person who appeals to Mr. Godfrey. Not an orator, but a fine speaker, Mr. Godfrey is in fre- quent demand at various meetings and banquets. Mr. Godfrey has served on the State Board of Educa- tion, has been very prominent in farm bureau work, and has continued to rise in our estimation every year that he is with us. George Godfrey GRADUATE COLLEGE I, . T WOULD have been strange indeed if leadership such as that given by President Welch, Dr. Bessey and their associates in the early days had not led to a desire on the part of students to go further in their work. This desire led to the creation of the Graduate College. By 1925 graduate work had become so prominent on the campus that some organization was essential. A new department, the Graduate College, was organ- ized, and Dean R. E. Buchanan chosen to head it. Membership in the organization includes all students enrolled in this department, and those who have re- ceived an advanced degree from the college. Iowa State ' s Graduate College was starred (highest rank) or checked as creditable in nearly every course pertaining to science offei-ed by this college. K. E. Buchanan Nineteen
