There he -taxed until 1929, when he was invited to work in Hawaii as icc-prc-iden! of the Hawaiian Pine- apple Cumpam of Honolulu. He wanted some real Im-ine- experience and who could have asked for a pleasanter setting? II.- ua-n ' l the only one thai liked the idea. You sec, on that firm visit to the mid-Pacific islands in 1919 he had met a certain Kleanor Si won Thrum of Mill alley, California. The records shows that a year or two later he went wet again. He couldn ' t plead MMM of health that lime. He didn ' t even go as far .1- Hawaii. But hi a alion took him, JHH| incident- ally, to the Thrum re.idence in Mill Valley. And in 19S, California girl who had lived part of the time in Hawaii, moved to Camhridjie. Massachusetts. Hardly four years passed, of course, until the family found themselves hack in Hawaii again on lmsim- -. There were the children to take care of, now, too, and sight-seeing in this favorite place of all places finally heroine more or less limited to pointing out to the children Mauna Loa ' s crest against the sky. hen the application of modern production prin- ciples lo the pineapple fields hegan to pall, Mr. Malott returned to academic halls again, and the years 1933-39 found the recalled assistant dean teaching Harvard Business School students such suhjects a Business Policy, Puhlic Utilities Administration, Business Proldem Analysis, and Agricultural Indus- tries- especially the later. His students must have found it pretty hard to get hy easily in - ' his methods called for a great deal of classroom di rii-H m ami student eontrihution particularly in that Busi- ness Prohlems course. Administrative work in his own School also look much of his time. He was chairman of the- Scholar- ship Coiiimitlec. liesides. Anil he was continually working on various reports for important financial concerns, not to speak of several hooks with such titles as Introduction to Corporalr Fiiunn-t-, On (ioinfi Into Business, and Problems in Agricultural Markcl- inf!.

And, of course, he was a regular, enthusiastic worker in New Kngland alumni circles. He kept in touch with K.U. He thought of himself preeminently as a K.U. grad. )S hen the University regents set out in search of a comparatively young man, preferably a Kansas aluni- iiii-. to take over the administration of Ml. Oread ' s manifold activities and problems, their painstaking umv-ligation totaled up to a unanimous choice. V lien Deane Waldo Malott, ' 21, was notified of their de- cision, he set aside the comfort of his familiar sur- roundings, the chances for advancement and further recognition in his own long-studied field, and decided to come home. The crowning part of his story remains to be told twenty years from now. perhaps. Then we will know whether first impressions were true. But for now, we have from him what is, in a certain sense, his life ' s credo a credo that is, like himself, direct .in.

Kansas Man ... a swell fellow and a reasonable sort of fellow, besides ... given lavishly of her own time as chaperon, host- ess, and what-have-you. Both are hoping they can preserve their Sundays as at-home days. Yes, this business of getting acquainted - even the re-acquainted part is a long and sometimes a difficult task. Certainly the manner in which a new Chancellor approaches the proc- ess may bode well or ill for the whole atmosphere of his term to come. But Mr. Malott hasn ' t worried about that he ' s just plunged in with a laugh and had a good time meeting everybody. Result: everybody has enjoyed meeting him. The unanimous verdict has been that he ' s a swell fellow and a reasonable sort of fellow, besides. Reporters find that he talks with them and not at them. He ' s direct, sincere, frank sometimes, perhaps, almost too frank. He is im- patient of ceremony and waste motion wants to be called just plain Mr. Malott, a man who ' s trying to run a university in its own best interests
