Aside from these duties, Dean Ricks is director of the Mis- sissippi Experiment Stations. Having behind him a wide experience in the practical affairs of life, Dean Bowen has acquired a broad human sympathy which makes him respected and beloved by all the students under him. He is the lead- ing factor in the growth and development of the School of Business in recent years. Dean Patterson has proved to be a hard worker and an excellent teacher. He has the utmost respect of each and every En- gineering student in spite of the fact that he keeps their noses to the grindstone; for they know he is hard but fair, and that he works even harder himself than he would have them work. Dr. Hand has been the Dean of the Sci- ence School since its organization in 1911, and under his most efficient management the school has grown to a ranking position. As Chemistry is fundamental to Agricul- ture, Engineering, and other technical courses, this school does the basic work in Chemistrv for all schools of the institution.
