Dean A. L. Stone SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM 'Professor Carl Holiday of the Department of English taught the Iirst journalism course at the State University, but A. l,. Stone, present dean, officially opened the School of Journalism in l9l4 by borrowing tents from the Fort Missoula commandant and setting them up over night, unknown to anyone. About fifteen students enrolled, and the canvas class- rooms achieved fame, for their pictures were printed in newspapers all over the country. Later a small room was obtained by enclosing an old bicycle shed. used until the state constructed a new Shack, After the World VVar, the school moved to its present location in Marcus Cook hall, then the war barracks. Today it is a class A institution, including in its curriculum courses in all forms of news and edi- torial writing, advertising and printing. The School of Journalism now owns its own print- ing shop, and its greatest growth in the past year has been in the printing laboratory.

The Montana Kaimin, campus newspaper published twice a week, is edited entirely by student journalists.

l Dean T. C. Spaulding SCHOOL OF FORESTRY The School of Forestry, developed from a Govern- ment Ranger school in 1909 to a part of the State University in 1910 and established by the state legis- lature in 1913, includes students from almost every state in the union in its enrollment. An under- graduate course of four years allows specialization in the various forestry branches, and a graduate course leads to the degree of Master of Science. The Forestry club, composed of students and fac- ulty members of the School of Forestry, has the distinction of being the wealthiest in the world, due principally to the large student loan fund it spon- sors. Much of this capital is proht derived from the Foresters' ball, the only dance of its kind in the world. One of the two big projects of the past year was the establishment of the arboretum in the forestry nursery. lt extends from the new tennis courts down ,lohn's avenue to the Kirkwood Memorial grove, and includes fifteen different species of trees native to this country as well as important exotics from foreign countries. The other project includes experimental work up Pattee Canyon in the Lolo National forest. where fifteen hundred acres were loaned to the School of Forestry by the United States Forest Service for experimental purposes. VVith the help of Recon- struction Finance Corporation labor, fifteen sample plots have been established for experiment in Douglas fir and XVestern Yellow Pine stands. This work is under the supervision of Professor Fay G. Clark. Since fall quarter Dean T. C. Spaulding has been on leave of absence, and Professor I. XV. Cook has been taking his place as acting dean.

Dean C. E. Mollett SCHOOL OF PHARMACY This year the School of Pharmacy completes its twenty-sixth year of service. Founded in Bozeman in l907, with an enrollment of nine students, it was transferred in 1913 to the State University at Mis- soula. C. E. Mollett, now dean of the department, was the first instructor. The Bachelor of Science degree given originally required only a two-year course, but during the last year a minimum four-year basis has been established. In June, 1932, the University of Montana gave its first Master of Science degree in Pharmacy, and plans to continue the award. The government has now recognized Pharmacy in hygenic health service and the Veterans' bureau on the same basis as medicine, dentistry and other professions. All members of the Pharmacy club, composed of students in the department, automatically become members of the State Pharmaceutical association. Kappa Psi, national honorary fraternity for men, and Kappa Epsilon, women's national honorary, both have chapters on this campus. About three hundred alumni of this department are practicing pharmacy at the present time, and over fifty graduates and former students own their own stores. Several are in government service and some are representatives of large pharmaceutical manufac- turing houses. The school is a member of the American Associa- tion of Colleges of Pharmacy. The three members of the faculty have practiced retail pharmacy and are registered, licensed pharmacists. T271
