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.

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 huge demand for engineering graduates, enrollment in the Engineering Division is largest on campus and still in- creasing. Engineers seem to flood the cam- pus, creating a need for extra faculty, class- rooms, and laboratories. The nine depart- ments of engineering are directed by our new Dean of Engineering, J. F. Downie Smith, and the new Assistant Dean, Frank Kerekes. In the list of news is the depart- ment of architecture which was first ac- credited last year. DEAN J. F. DOWNIE SMITH Watly Hansen barked by Duane Schmidt gives out with a little information to visitors at the Chem. E. Veishea Open House. Kent Drummond assures Veishea visitors tlint the transit is sometimes used for purposes oilier than sightseeing.
