HAROLD E. PRIDE WALLACE E. BARRON The Memorial Union is an institution to provide an informal education for our students — to teach them how to live a life. Harold E. Pride sees that this is accomplished. Mr. Pride, who was con- nected with the Union movement long before the building was constructed, is now Secretary of the Memorial Union Corporation as well as Manag- ing Director of the building. He is president of the American Association of College Unions. Wallace E. Red Barron, director of the Alum- ni Association and the Alumni Service, keeps our alumni informed of and interested in their college. Under his direction the Who ' s Who of Iowa State is constantly extended, area alinnni picnics planned, and the eighty alumni groups correlated. Red is the editor of alumni publications, in- cluding the Alumnus, sent to association mem- bers, and the Nexus of Iowa State. R. K. Bliss, Director of Agricultural Extension, heads a wide-spread program which has offices in every Iowa county. Adult education among farm- ers is carried on by the extension service in all Home Economics and Agricultural projects. The work of the 4-H Club, an organization of 28,000 young people, is but a segment of this service. As an Iowa State student he gained repute as a de- bater and editor of the Iowa Agriculturist. State-wide short courses to reach scattered groups in small Iowa communities, in municipalities and in industry are carried on by the Engineering Extension Service. Led by D. C. Fabcr this field of work in vocational education has grown yearly since 1914. Today finds Iowa State with the largest enrollment in industrial short courses in the coun- try. Mr. Faber came to Iowa State as Director of Engineering Extension twenty-six years ago. R. K. BLISS D. C. FABER Page 2p

George W. Godfrey, Director of Agricultural Re- lations, has been an Iowa farmer most of his life, but now travels over the state, managing the col- lege ' s eighteen farms. He graduated from Iowa State in 1909, has served seven years on the State Board of Education, and came to the college staff in 1933. He was the local delegate to the 1940 convention of Rotary International in Cuba. MISS MARIA M. ROBERTS GEORGE W. GODFREY CHARLES H. BROWN DR. J. G. GRANT Dr. Charles Harvey Brown, Head Librarian, ranks as an expert in his field. In his forty years of library work, Dr. Brown held such positions as Assistant in the Library of Congress and Library Specialist in the United States Navy, before be- coming Iowa State ' s head librarian in 1922. Among the many books and papers which he has pub- lished on the subject of library work is Circula- tion Work in College and University Libraries. At the first of the year, the shadow of infantile paralysis brought into focus the importance of the Student Health Service when one Iowa State student died and several others were afflicted by that disease. Dr. John Gray Grant, Head of the College Hospital, was backed up in his fight by students ' contributions toward the purchase of an Iron Lung to be used in treatment of cases in Ames and vicinity.

For the third consecutive year an Iowa State man was high at the American Royal Livestock Judging Contest at Kansas City as the entire team took first place. First place over all other Dairy Products Judging Teams was won this year when Iowa State ' s team cap- tured its eighth championship in national competition and broke the former tie with Ohio.

High individual scorer in the national contest was Harold Kaeser, of Iowa State. Besides the 16 curricular courses offered by the divi- sion, men are active in other campus activities as illus- trated by the fact that Iowa State ' s co-champion basketball team was composed of four agricultural students.
