Mr. liarter of the Bacteriology Department watches hopefully as an experiment progresses. Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering (). R. Sweeney won national fame in his field before retir- ing last year. Within the five divisions at Iowa State there has been a considerable turnover of personnel during 1947-48. Present profes- sors find that instruction is only one of their jobs. Many participate in research and ex- tension work Overlapping of their fields gives students a varied knowledge of the work within the division in which they have chosen to major. Another duty of some of the faculty is supervising the various departmental clubs for students. This, along with the student faculty teas of some departments, allows stu- dents and instructors to become better acquainted socially. As chaperones of all- college dances, speakers at college functions, and guests of organized student houses, the faculty also shines socially. Professor of Dairy Husbandry S. I.. Jacobsen seems to have found a new friend. Florence Fallgatter takes time out from Home Economics to appear in the Bomb. Vet Medicine also claims smiling Dr. Olson.

With the increased student enrollment the past year, instructors have had extra work but have enjoyed the versatility provided by so many new students. Sometimes they had the prob- lem of teaching class in some place far from their division building. Sometimes it meant correcting papers for classes overflowing these rooms. And the nature of their classes has changed with the influx of veterans and married students. But the number of faculty members has now increased. Of the 2,045 staff members of Iowa State, 822 of them are faculty per- sonnel — deans, directors, professors, assistant professors and instructors. Besides the 822, there are 216 graduate students teaching. Dorothy Brilei makes a pretty picture as she dis- cusses her specialty, Textiles and Clothing. Evidently Harvey Feyerherm of the Zoology Depart- ment has discovered the long-lost duck-hilled platypus.

DEAN H. H. KILDEE u There is no more logical place for one of the largest colleges of agriculture in the world than in the heart of agricultural America. Our Agriculture Division has earned a position of leadership, not only in Iowa and the United States, but also in all farming regions of the world. Gone are the days of hit-and-miss farming; thus the divi- sion, under Dean H. H. Kildee, has become a training ground for the ever-increasing number of students interested in scientific agriculture. You ' ve seen lots of cheesecake, but look at this Iowa State cheese. It looks like the Landscape Architects are really inspired.
