WILLIAM T. MIDDLEBROOK EDWARD E. NICHOLSON BUSINESS IXIANAGER for one of Minnesotals largest concerns is WILLIAM T. MIDDLEBIzooIc, Univer- sity comptroller. Through his oHice are transacted all service enterprises, invest- ments, and trust funds. Over ten mil- lion dollars a year in business transac- tions are under the supervision of Mr. Middlebrook, When he is not busy keeping the University in the black, Comptroller Middlebrook enjoys the seclusion and rest afforded him at his cabin retreat, where he can idle, hunt, and golf. cc, . U 11-IE student aH'a1rs oFH:e, said Dean of Student Affairs EDXVARD E. NIC!-IKTLFON, like Topsy ljust growedf 5' Although certain broad disciplinary powers have been given him by the regents, it is as a liaison oflicer between faculty and students that Dean Nick'y enjoys working. He al- ways likes to remember the year 1910, when be was sent by Governor lohn A. Iohnson on a special mission to Swe- den. One of the most complete Hles of Gophers is that kept by Dean Nichol- son since coming to the University from Nebraska in 1897 as a chemistry in- structor. The dean once said that he wished he would have a grandson who would come to the University and look over the complete forty years of his File, a real history of student activity at Minnesota. DEAN 'WESLEY E. PEIK is one of the few deans to be born in Minnesota. He took over his job as Dean of the College of Education upon the death of Melvin Haggerty in the fall of 1937, which makes him the most recently appointed University dean. Dean Peik started as a country school teacher earning S535 a month. His doc- tor's thesis is considered the most im- portant contribution from any source to the analysis of college curricula for the training of teachers. KEEPING in contact with 40,000 alumni is the tedious but pleasant job of ERNEST B. PIERCE, alumni Secretary. Through his job as oflicial Hmiddlemanv between the Uni- versity and its graduates, Mr. Pierce has grown to know personally thou- sands of alumni from many colleges of the University. He does considerable travelling, planning and attending alumni reunions all over the country, and is a member of the National As- sociation of Alumni Secretaries. The Alumni lflfeekly and the Alumnz'Dz'1'ec- tories are published by Mr. Pierce. ESLEYE.PEI NEST B.PIERCE
