Byron Cummings, A. M. KAN CUMMINGS, as he is known to every student of the University, is loved for his kind consideration of others, his inflexible defense of right, and his unselfish devotion to duty. For the past two years, he was Dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. In this work, he was particularly successful, because of his true understanding of individual needs and his sympathetic interest in student life. Last year, he was made Dean of Men, and in this capacity he held the respect and high regard of all with whom he dealt, through his just decisions and able advice. As Professor of Archaeology, Dean Cummings has made this study of prehistoric man one of the livest and most popular courses in the University. The State Museum, of which he is Director, has been built up largely through his efforts. As President of the Archaeological and Historical Society, he has been influential in raising funds for the restoration of Tumaca-cori Mission. At the close of last year, he resigned his deanship in order to devote more time to archaeological research. However, he continued as acting Dean this fall and winter during the long illness of Dean Lockwood. In the absence of Doctor von Klein-iSmid, he was made acting President of the University and discharged these added duties in an efficient manner. He is never too busy to be concerned about a student's welfare, to take a personal interest in those who need a friend, to encourage all worthy ambition, to make life dearer for all those who come in contact with him.
