ZMQW DR.HAROLD DIEHL EDWARD M. FREEMAN f .,.i -' 7- K s' ' ' K, 5 , A 2 HAROLD S. DIEHL, dean of the Medical Sciences, is the author of one of the University's most popular text books, Healzhful .Ll-Zllillg, used in the preventive medicine course. The book was written, Dean Diehl said, for those who think too much about their health but lack knowledge of what is good or bad for them in the light of modern medical experiencef, In addition, Dean Diehl said that in his book he attempted to popularize medi- cine. It is his contention that people do not worry about things they under- stand, but that the unknown fills them with fear and apprehension. AN EXAIXIPLE of local boy makes good is Dean ED- XVARD M. FREEINIAN. Dean Freeman not only edited the 1898 Gopher himself, but is the only college dean to have been born in St. Paul, where his Col- lege of Agriculture, Forestry, and Home Economics is located.

LLIAM F.LASBY A MINER LELAN M1NNEsoTA's Dentis- try School has seen many improvements under its progressive Dean, WILLIAM F. LAsBY. Dean Lasby was appointed in 1929. At this time he was labeled uno radical, autocratic, grandstandn leader, and he has helped to make his school one of the country's best. Pho- tography and golf are sidelines to Dean Lasby, who claims his profession as his main interest. During the World VVar he served as schools lieutenant colonel in the Army Dental Reserve Corps. Cv I-IENEVER he is not busy being the Dean of Administration in the Institute of Technology, Dean ORA MINER LELAND is working to keep his golf library and museum up to date. Dean Leland has very recently been made a member of the museum com- mittee of the United States Golf Asso- ciation and is a life member of the Council of the Society for the Promo- tion of Engineering Education, by vir- tue of his having been a past president of that council. AN EXPERT in the ever more important Held of radium, SAMUEL C. LIND, Dean of the Institute of Technology, studied with radium's co-discoverer, Madame Curie, in I9l0. When Dean Lind was called to Minne- sota, he was in the midst of an impor- tant experiment, and rather than inter- rupt his labors he brought with him to the University the f1Sl00,000 worth of radium with which he was working. He is the inventor of the Lind inter- changeable electroscope for radium measurements, and he originated the ionization theory of the chemical effects of radium rays. Before the formation of the Institute of Technology, which combined all the technical schools, Dean Lind was director of the School of Chemistry. He has edited the Iournal of Physical Chemistry since 1933. TRUE to his Scotch ancestry, Director MALCOLM S. MAC LEAN of the General College has a de- cided partiality to plaids. His job is perhaps the only one of its kind in the academic world. Though he is one of the youngest of the administrative of- Hcers of the University, he has already had considerable experience. He bum- med his way to Europe, attended the Sorbonne, experimented with hot fudge delights at a drug store fountain, set up a press while in California and ran his own newspaper, The Laguna Beach Life. He also worked for some time on a local newspaper. Last year he gave the annual Inglis lecture at Harvard. SAMUEL C.LIND MALCOLM S. MAC LEAN
