! 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

K LETTERS AND SCIENCE Ever since his statement prohib- iting more than three consecu- tive classes for students in the college of Letters and Science, Pean CJordon S. Watkins has been busy interviewing those who work afternoons or who cannot obtain afternoon classes. The large number of these in- terviews seems to indicate that the students do not appreciate the benefits which Dean Wat- kins feels will result. INDERCR.ADr.ATES Ihe administration of I ' .C.L.A. received a new officer, and Earl J. Miller a new position this year, when the latter became the Dean of Undergraduates instead of continuing as Dean of Men. In addition to holding this office. Dean Miller is a professor of Economics, sharing with Dr. Stockwell the doubtful pleasure of leading business-minded stu- dents through the intricacies of economics l. ' and IB. AGRICrLTlRE Professor Robert V. Hodgson, in charge of the work of the College of .Agriculture, who recently returned from a leave of absence on his fifth and sixth foreign assignments, made an interesting survey of fruit grow- ing conditions in the native state of Patiola, In dia. He has not only made many surveys for us, but for the Ministry of Agriculture in Eg pt, Honduras, Morocco, Tunisia and Palestine as well. EDICATION Marvin L. Darsie, as Dean of the Teacher ' s College, is espe- cially busy because of the large number of students enrolled there. In addition to teaching the Principles of Education, Dean Darsie is a member of many administrative committees. Last November, he delivered the fourth annual John Adams lec- ture, speaking on Education and Social Reconstruction. 25 —
