BOYNTO RALPH D.CASE LWAYS believing strongly in the possibilities for Women in medical research, DR. RUTH BOYN- 'roN has charge of the Student Health Service. Hundreds of students daily visit the Health Service for examina- tion or treatment, and a number of beds are maintained in the upper floors for more serious cases. Gardening and serving as secretary of the American Student Health Association do not keep Dr. Boynton too busy to carry on med- ical research to improve university con- ditions. HAIRIXIAN RALPH D. CASEY of the Department of Iour- nalism has recently returned from a sabbatical leave to England where he studied under a Guggenheim fellow- ship. Mr. Casey, one of the few jour- nalists ever to receive the fellowship, employed his leave in reseach concern- ing the propaganda methods of British political parties. It was in this favored country that he Hrst began his journal- istic career as a reporter on the Seattle Poxz-I11tell1'gezzcc1'. Besides his being recognized as a fine teacher of journal- ism, Mr. Casey is well known as an active journalist. He is at present edi- tor of the l0lll'71IIIIi577Z Qrmrterly. ELL KNOWVN as a champion of agricultural education, VV'AL'I'ER C. Corrliav, dean of the De- partment of Agriculture, is an expert on sheep husbandry for the United States Department of Agriculture.

Dean Coffey is a member of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, Alpha Zeta, Sigma Xi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, academic fraternity. Miss IQATHARINE I. DENsFoRD, Professor of Nursing and Director of the School of Nursing, is probably the best person to see if you feel as though you are going to fall apart, because besides her duties here at Minnesota she is the chairman of the American Nurses Council and first vice president of the American Nurses Association. Miss Densford first taught history, but during the VVorld VVar, she took a course at the Vassar training camp and has since been more active in nursing than in history. it X it Egg, , new f it af: Q?

GUY sT.xNroN iforzn has been in the held of education all his life. I-Ie started teaching in the public schools of VN7isconsin after he had graduated from the University of VVisconsin in 1895. After a ycar's work at the University of Berlin, he got his Ph.D. at Columbia University. In 1933 he won the degree of Doctor of Literature from his alma mater. the Uni- versity of VVisconsin. having been honored in 1927, by an LL.D. from Lawrence col- lege. During the Wforld XVar President Ford was with George Creel's Committee on Public Information as director of civic and educational publications. I-Ie has taught history at Yale, the University of Illinois, and the University of Minnesota, where he was history instructor and Dean of the Graduate school for 25 years. In 1933, President Ford was awarded the diploma for distinguished service to sci- ence by the Minnesota chapter of Sigma Xi. He has twice been acting president of the University, in 1931 and 1932 and again in 1937 and 1938. I-Iis activities are many. For six years he was chairman of the board of editors of the American History Re- view. I-Ie was on the advisory council of the Guggenheim Foundation and on the staH of the Laura Spelman Rockerfeller Memorial in 1924 and 1925. This is the background and experience of the fifth president of the University of Minnesota. GUY STANTON FORD MLM A YoUNc impetuous fellow and you'd better keep your eye on melu said Guy Stanton Ford to the Board of Regents when he accepted the presidency last fall. And though his acceptance had climaxed a turbulent afternoon for the regents, there was rejoicing on the campus. President Ford is a favorite person with Minnesota students, few of whom have ever seen him except at a distance, but all of whom know him by his good works. Presi- dent Ford hates onions and cabbage and all foods that smell. Quote Mrs. Ford, Otherwise he doesn't pay much attention to the food he eatsf, The white-haired head of the University likes airplanes. It pleases him to be able to Hy from place to place, for he is a busy man. For relaxation give President Ford a good sym- phony or an opera. I-Iis wide knowledge and Hne appreciation of music add to his enjoyment of both. I-Ie looks like a philosopher and he speaks the lan- guage of this generation. I-Ie is what some of his students call, a swell guy.
