His talent in this field isiun- limited and he is equally versatile in delivering a formal address or an informal discussion. Al- though, he has the immense task of co-ordinating the activities of the entire school,tDr. Wilson still tries to accept as many speaking requests as he can fit into his already tight schedule. These many invitations are an indication of the great demand and respect for his speaking powers. In his seventeen years of service as Dean, Dr. Wilson has brought great prestige to the Missouri School of Minesg and his sound prac- tical decisions have always served for the best advantage of all concerned.
