As early as ISSn, S. W. Rohins in, the first professtir of mechanical engineering, ser ' ed as a member of the Railroad Com- mission of Ohio. He also was the first person to devise a method for the measurement of natural gas flow, made necessary by the discovery f natural g;ts in Ohio. C. N. Brown, for whom Brown Hall is named, served the W ' .ir department in a mineral investigation in Kentucky, was ch.iirm.m nt the Sewer Commission of Qilumbus in 1900, and represented the Governor of Ohio in directing the State Topographic Survey in co- operation with the United States Geological Survey in 1901. N. W. Lord, director of the Schtxjl of Mines and first dean of the Qillege, was the pioneer in the investigation of Ohio coals. He also took an active part in the Geological Survey of Ohio fmm 1SS6 to 1910. The important position now held by the ceramic industries of the State IS due largely to General Edward Orton, who was responsible for the beginning, in 1894, of ceramic engineering education. While super ' ising the work of the Ceramic Department, he also directed the State Geological Survey. These four men were the leaders in making contacts for service to enterprises of the State. The Q)llege now ser ' es the State through its Engineering E.xperi- mcnt Station and its faculty. Members are now serving on State boards and civic committees. They are cooperating with the Federal Bureau of CJood Roads, the 0 m Gixxl Roads Federation, the State Highway Department, the United States Geological Survey, the United States Bureau of Standards, the United States Weather Bureau, the State Welfare Department, the Ohio Ceramic Industries AssiKiation. the Southern t hio Coal Assfviation, the Ohio Bell Tele- phone Company, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and other Stdte and private enterprises. In fact, in every way the service work of the pioneers of the College of Engineering is being continued % 1 [26]

mg illf i Education Building — where future teachers are taug it EDUCATION THE ti dining of Ohio ' s youth tor effective and efficient pubHc service in secondary schools, colleges and universities is, in general, the function of the College of Education. An enroll- ment of over two thousand graduates and undergraduates places the College first in si;e among similar colleges in state supported univer- sities and second only to Teachers ' College, Columbia University. The quantitative service which the college renders to the state is thus readily understood. The qualitative service, however, is not so easily penetrated since it does not lend itself readily to statistic al formula- tion. But statistical realities are, after all, little more than symbols or outward data, which may or may not lead to significant meanings. The prevailing scientific and philosophic approach to the problems of training teachers for public scr -ice taps the hidden realities, the sig- nificant meanings, with which the College must concern itself. In such an approach there is no room for the vendor of stereo- typed information, for the mere peddler of microscopic and irrelevant details, for the worshiper of conformity, tradition and the dead past. In such an approach there is abundant room for the explorer of new ideas, for the prophet of a new day, for the adventurer in thinking, for the liberator of the mind, for the discoverer and utilizer rather than the collector of knowledge, for the creative mind untrammeled and unencumbered. In so far as these conditions are made to prevail, in so far does the College of Education render significant service to the commonwealth of Ohio. Dearx George F. Arps George Arps has served as dean of tfic College of Education since his appointment to that position in 1920. He was graduated from Lcland Stanford University in 1904 with a B. A. degree. The following year he received his M. A. from the University of Indi- ana. He studied abroad at the University of Lcipsic until 1908, where he was given his Ph. D. In 1912 he came to Ohio State as professor of ps chology. Dean Arps is a member of Sig- ma Xi, Phi Delta Kappa, the Na- tional Education Association, and the American Psychology Associ- ation. [25]

-o.f a It - i Page Hull — inhere legal minds are trained LAW rip HE College of Law of Ohio State Uni- versity is of service to the State of Ohio in at least two ways. First, it offers to citizens of Ohio an oppor- tunity to study law at a reputable Law School at a minimum cost. The tuition fee at this Law SchtKil as compared with private law schools of equal standing, is very low. Second, it offers, or at least purports to offer, to those contemplating the practice of law, a thorough training. There is no need in Ohio for an increasing number of lawyers; there is need for a constantly increasing number of men com- ing to the practice of law thoroughly grounded in the ideals of the law and its fundamental principles. Dean Adam. ' i If the College of Law of this University is doing nothing more than increasing the number of lawyers, it can hardly justify its exist- ence. If, on the other hand, it is preparing a limited number of men for the practice of law who are thoroughly grounded and trained, as well as possessed of the ideals of public service, it is of distinct service to the State of Ohio. C -TJ- ' -y fl oJ uMzh Acting Dean Tiitlle When John Adams, then dean of the College ot Law, was taken by death in June, 1926, the Uni- versity lost one of its best known and most capable college execu- tives. He had been at the helm of the law school for 17 years, having been appointed to that post in 1909. He received his B.A. degree from Kenyon College in 1879, an M. A. in 1889, and his LL. D. in 1910. He was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1883, and served as judge of the circuit court from 1895 to 1901, in the fifth Ohio circuit. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Alonzo Tuttle came to Ohio State in 1900, shortly after his graduation from the University of Michigan. While there he received both his B. A. and M. A. degrees. In 1907 the University conferred on him the degree of LL. B.. and at the same time he was elected to the Order of the Coif. He has served as acting dean of the Col- lege of Law since the death of former Dean Adams. [27]
