Faculty Salutes FREN MUSSELMAN, formerly Dean of Summer Session and Extension, devoted 26 years to the University. Since 1924 he has served as extension professor, associate professor, professor of education, and in 1938 became dean. In his 12 years as head of summer school, Dean Musselman saw the total enrollment for these terms exceed 40,000 students. He often said that he regretted that, in his administrative capacity, he lost some of the teacher-student contact. One of the dean ' s special interests was the entertainment and assembly committees, and he brought such personalities as Alec Templeton, Jan Peerce, Eleanor Steber and Norman Cousins to the campus. He also found time to be active in Kappa Delta Pi, education honorary and the Wesley Foun- dation. MICHAEL J. RADOCK, director of public relations, has helped put Kent State University on the map. When he came to KSU in 1945 the University had only a publicity and news bureau. January 1, 1946 Professor Radock ' s dream became a reality and the public relations office was established. Since then the PRO has become a vital part of the University. From this office information, news stories, pictures and university bulletins are sent to students, news- papers, parents, faculty members, other colleges and radio stations. Under Mr. Radock ' s supervision such publications as the faculty bulletin, the Alumnus, the parents ' bulletin, the Campus Calendar, daily news releases, and weekly radio releases have been started, many of them published for the first time. Besides supervising the news bureau and the sports publicity staff, Professor Fladock also teaches several classes each quarter. NINA HUMPHREY has quite a record of service at Kent State University; 38 years of her life have been spent teaching art to students. Miss Humphrey came to Kent in 1913, when the school was in its infancy, to be its lone teacher of art. She remained as head of the department until 1948. Thousands of students remember the infectious sense of humor which brightened their art appreciation and history of art classes. Many students and townspeople have become interested in weaving through Miss Humphrey ' s enthusiasm in her school weaving classes, private weaving classes and women ' s weaving groups. Weaving has become more than merely a hobby with Miss I [umphrey; she has won prizes for her work at Akron Art Institute salons. Jollv and good-natured, she has spent her life encouraging student interest in the fine arts.
