HAT portion of the campus south of State street is known as the kingdom of the Pigs, and here Prof. Skinner, dean of agriculture, reigns supreme. The outlay of buildings and farms to be seen there makes a distinct impression on the passer-by, and helps to make the school one of the greatest of its kind in the country. Quoting Dean Skinner, 4'The aim of the School of Agriculture is to train young men for scien- tific and practical agricultural work and to teach them to think straight, to analyze and meet every situation open-mindedly, JOHN H.

She is a gracious personage whose magnetism attracts and holds as friends all those with whom she comes in contact. MARY L. MATHEW5 96' . HE Department of i Z History and Eco- nomics offers some i of the most interesting and in- formative courses in the Uni- versity curriculum. Under the supervision of Professor Nloran, the series of lectures delivered by him and his colleagues are a source of undisputed pleasure and interest to Boilermakers. FoXy,,' as this department head is dubbed, is a popular and admired iigure on the campus. A keen wit, coupled with a hu- morous and kindly manner, makes him a favorite with all Boilermakers. His lectures are interesting to the point of ex- asperation to his hearers, who become so absorbed with his fluent tongue that they forget to note down what he is saying. VVidely informed, with a magnetic personality, and a pair of keen, piercing eyes that look out at you from under gray brows- FoXy', Moran. THOMAS F. KIORAN -. gif .-
