RETIRED FACULTY Seven widely known faculty members of the University were retired from active serv- ice last fall. In recognition of their long years of association with the University, their col- leagues honored them with a retirement din- ner, which was held on January 6th in the campus Dining Hall. The dinner was pre- sided over by Dr. Byrd, who had been a stu- dent under a number of the retiring members, and the life and service of each member was lauded by their friends and faculty asso- ciates. Patterson Pierson Taliaferro Spann McDonnell Gwinner In point of service, the oldest faculty mem- ber honored during the evening was Dr. Harry J. Patterson, who retired as Dean of the College of Agriculture and Director of the Experiment Station. Dr. Patterson came to College Park as chemist in the Experiment Station in 1888 and during the intervening years rose rapidly to a position of prominence in Maryland agriculture. The next man in point of service was Dr. Henry B. McDonnell, who first came to Col- lege Park as Professor of Agricultural Chem- istry and State Chemist in 1891. One year later he was made head of the Department of Chemistry and in 1923 was appointed Pro- fessor of Research. Dr. W. T. L. Taliaferro, who came to Col- lege Park in 1892, was next to be lauded. He was Acting Dean of the Division of Agri- culture from 1915 to 1917 and served for many years as Professor of Farm Manage- ment. One of the most scholarly men on the campus. Dr. Taliaferro is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, and Beta Theta Pi. Dean A. N. Johnson, of the College of En- gineering, was retired after active service from 1920 to 1936. Dean Johnson became head of the College of Engineering follow- ing an outstanding career as a highway en- gineer. He enjoys a national reputation in engineering circles and in 1933 was awarded the Bartlett award for the outstanding con- tribution to highway progress. Professor Harry Gwinner also enjoyed a long record at College Park, having come to the old Maryland Agricultural College in 1895. He was made associate professor in 1898 and full professor two years later. From 1929 on Professor Gwinner confined all of his time to instruction in engineering mathe- matics. Professor C. J. Pierson, another retiring faculty member, became associated with the department of Entomology and Zoology in 1916. During his years of work in the depart- ment he made many contributions to insect morphology and impressed all with his devo- tion to his profession. Professor James T. Spann, of the College of Engineering, came to College Park in 1917. As Professor of Mathematics he made many friends among students and faculty and will long be remembered by those who were asso- ciated with him. DEAN OF THE FACULTY Dr. Thomas H. Taliaferro, who has been with the University of Maryland since 1907, was appointed last fall as Dean of the Faculty, Dr. Thomas H. Taliaferro, Dean of the Faculty 17 »
