HAND As Dean of the School of Science since its establishment in 1903, Dr. W. F. Hand has seen more students come and go than any other man in the faculty. A man of brilliance and ability, he has built a school of which we are justly proud, and as an able teacher he has sent students out into the world that have become famous due to his unselfish guidance. With a sense of humor as keen as his mind he has an appreciative ear for a good joke, and knows quite a few himself.

SCIENCE THE SCHOOL OF GENERAL SCIENCE— now the School of Science— was organized in 1903. This school permits the planning of four-year courses of major study in physical sciences and mathematics, biological science, social studies, and special courses to serve definite purposes. This school has some of the finest laboratories and some of the most capable professors in the South, and it has been greatly improved in the past few years under the capable leadership of Dr. Hand who has been con- nected with the college since the eighteen hundreds. Twenty-three students will receive the Bachelor of Science degree at the end of this semester.
