Dean Boelter as head of the new college of engi- neering is the latest addition to U.C.L.A. ' s able fellowship of deans and is working overtime to establish his school which specializes in the field of aeronautics. hHe is rightly considered the number one man in the United States on the subject of heat transfers. In the field of acoustics Dean Knudsen is a past master, and the Navy department is finding his knowledge along these lines very valuable. Dean Hodgson, who heads the agricultural department, is an authority on sub-tropical horticulture, while Dean Lee guides future teachers into the right educational paths, and many are the excellent economists developed under the supervision of Dean Noble of Business Administration.

3:J . u«« Dr. Paul Dodd, Economics Dr. Yu Shan Han, History Dr. Charles Haines, Political Science U.C.L.A. -faculty members are a much traveled group, and perhaps the broadness of their vision and the understanding of student educa- tional problems is due in no little measure to their various sojourns in far off places. Dr. Dodd spent most of his recent three years absence from the faculty in New Zealand and Australia where he enjoyed to the fullest his hobby of photography, while Dr. Sherwood has interesting background as a teacher at the University of Cambridge. Perhaps Dr. Han has one of the most varied educational experiences. Born in China, he was educated at Yenchung University, Harvard, and Boston Univer- sity, and today is considered an authority on Asiatic history. Dr. Kinsey, who has spent seventeen years in the physics department, is a Johns Hopkins graduate with special research work to his credit on spec- troscopy. With leprosy as a study and photomicrography as a hobby, Dr. Salle is a personality worth meeting. In fact, his interest in leprosy is still so keen that he plans another journey to the Hawaiian leper colony at the close of the war. A graduate of U.C.L.A., Dr. McCullough is well known to many sturdy Bruins who struggle through Chem I A and I B. He is now working on X-ray crystal structure and spectrophometry. Dr. Haines, who has studied at the University of Paris and modestly carries an L.L.D., would be a vital addition to any faculty. At the present time he is completing the second volume of his book on The Role of the Supreme Court in American Government and Politics. I 26 i
