l DEDICATIO -CHENERY Dr. Andrew Ellicott Douglass's pioneer scientific research has brought world-wide distinction to himself and to the University of Arizona. YV ith rare intellectual courage he has transcended the boundaries of the separate sciences, combining astronomy, physics, biology, and his own new science of dendrochronology in the study of one great problem, the eliect of the sun's radiation upon terrestrial and planetary activity. Tree-ring chronology, invaluable to the archaeologist and best known to the layman of all Dr. Douglass's accomplishments, he devised as a tool in the search for a prehistoric record of sun-spot cycles. Not only as a scientist has he served the Univer- sity, but also as acting president and as clean of the College of Liberal Arts. The clarity and en- thusiasm of his lectures are remembered by more than three decades of alumni.

' F o R E W o fe D Like the campus it represents, the 1939 Desert is neither reactionary nor agressively CE radical. It seeks to portray the combination of Arizona's indolent climate with the LCE occasional energetic activity of tlie inhabitants by its own combination of leisurely CCF' Mexican drawings with brisk photography. Cloaked within a quiet, formal coin- position the reader will iind a series of innovations designed to make the Desert as GE complete as possible a record of tlie year's activities.
