dean hand Dean of the School of Science since 1903, Dr. W. F. Hand has succeeded in giving his department something of the atmo- sphere that one Hkes to think clung about the old universities. His abi.ity as a chemist and teacher cannot be over- rated. His brilliance of analysis he car- ries from the laboratory into the field of human relations, where, as a judge of human nature, he has few equals. His delightful sense of humor blends with a crystal-clear vision to make him a truly great personality. dean brceks The School of Education was very for- tunate in obtaining the services of such a capable and conscientious man as Dean B. P. Brooks. Although new at his job, he has shown great ability to lead. An active man, he has worked steadily and efficiently for the advancement of his school. Dean Brooks is a great favorite with the students, who always welcome the chance to hear him speak. dean drennen Dean of the Graduate School since its creation in 193 5, Dr. Herbert Drennon has succeeded in establishing a compre- hensive and well balanced curriculum. His sympathetic understanding of stu- dent problems, his innate friendliness, and his eagerness to help students make him liked by all he comes in contact with. He also acts as Professor of English, where his sound literary analysis and his deep, resonant, slightly accented voice make his lectures delightful.

ENGINEERING SCHOOL The School of Engineering comprises the departments of Aeronautical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Elec- trical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. In addition, it makes use of many other departments of the college to make it one of the most outstanding Engineering Schools in the Sovith. This is the second year that students have been given flying instructions under the C. A. A. plan of the Government. This has proven to be of much interest to those students desiring further training. There has been some several hundred students to complete the required course. The School of Engineering also offers in conjunc- tion with the course in Aeronautical Engineering, but not as a required part of the same, a course for students desiring flight instructions. This flying school is approved by the Civil Aeronautics Authority and State has one of its own students in charge, Mr. M. S. Camp, who finished here some time ago. Colonel C. R.
