!l PRESIDEIVT The question of who would be chosen as the new- Provost of the University of California at Los An- geles was left undecided for a year when Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul took up residence on the campus, to fill that office as well as the one of President of the entire University of California. This action of Dr. Sproul has stressed the important position which the local campus has attained. During his stay here, he has made a successful eflort to unite the several campi of the University. The weekly student hour which he has maintained has given the undergraduates the valuable opportunity to become personally acquainted with a thoroughly human and likable man. Br B.1I llCtilg f II-

! DEAIVS DF THE UNIVERSITY SUMMER SESSION J. Harold Williams, Professor of Education and Dean of Sum- mer Session, has an enviable background of experience in educational psychology ' , statis- tics, school surveys, and delin- quency. He has been associated with ' the University since 1923 and holds membership in num- erous educational organizations, for several of which he has been elected to the office of president and has conducted with efficiency. WOMEN Dean Helen M. Laughlin takes an active part in the orientation of incoming women students through her get-acquainted Freshman Teas, at which she in- troduces many campus personali- ties. The women have also been choosing careers in which they will be both interested and suc- cessful by the Dean ' s informal talks on vocational guidance, to which she invites all co-eds. GRADUATE STUDY Vern O. Knudsen, a renowned physicist, has served as Dean of Graduate Study since the Fall of 1934. As Dean of the Graduate School he has built it up from a comparatively insig- nificant institution to a complete unit in which students may work for either a Master ' s de- gree or a Doctor ' s degree. Be- sides this valuable contribution to the University Dean Knud- sen has found time to make many experiments in BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Howard S. Noble, Dean of the year-old College of Business Ad- ministration, received valuable experience in his former position as Chairman of the Economics Department of this University. The new college has made some- what of a record this year, hav- ing already enrolled 561 stu- dents. A graduate of Harvard, Dean Noble has for some time been recognized as an authority on cost accounting. — 24
