RICHARD R.PR1CE ARLES H. ROGE 75-QQ H HE growth of the Extension Division of the University is due largely to the work of RICHARD R. Piucia, Director of Extension since 1913. In that year he came here from the University of Kansas to organize what is now one of the most important de- partments of the University of Minne- sota. The Extension division offers over seven hundred courses in both corre- spondence and night classes, which may be taken with credits toward a degree or for general enlightenment. Mr. Price is proud of the fact that he was born in Hafod, Wales, and that he is the head of the University Radio Committee. PTER he had estab- lished the pharmacy department at the University of West Virginia, CHARLES H. Rooms, Dean of the School of Pharmacy, came to Minnesota in 1917. It was not until 1936, however, that he was named dean. He is the author of I7101'g67lZ1-C' Phz11'mczccuZ1iczII Chemfslry, A Compefzaliufiz of PhlTI'771l7l'0g710,fy, Illa- zerfa Medica, and other pharmacy texts. He is a member of Sigma Xi and Rho Chi, honorary fraternities, and Acacia, academic fraternity. He is known in the community as an expert golfer, and was once president of the Midland Hills Club. R.oi'.xL R. Si-iurvrwiw is Assistant Dean for Student's Vlfork on the same campus where he taught mathematics as a senior in 1903. Dean Shumway takes a personal interest in the problems of all the students, and believes that today as never before they know what they want from college and are going to get it.

HN T.TATE OMAS A. H. TEET 1-IEN the University College was established in 1930, IOI-IN T. TATE, a professor of physics, was named chairman. Because it is the most liberal plan yet adopted at Minnesota, the administration deemed it was neces- sary to place a liberal mind such as Dean Tate's at its head. Seven years later, when Dean I. B. Iohnson retired, Professor Tate was named dean of the College of Science, Literature, and Arts. Dean Tate was co-founder of the American Institute of Physics and was a member of the Science and Research Bureau during the VVorld War. It was partly through Dean Tate's efforts that a grant of 336,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation was made for the Univer- sity's new atom smasher. I-IBN others play, Trloixms A. I-I. TEETEIQ, Associate Direc- tor of the summer sessions, works. His business of making the budget for the summer sessions, hiring teachers, sign- ing payrolls, and contacting speakers for summer convocations leaves him little time for his favorite pastimes, hunting and fishing. Mr. Teeter is a licensed hydraulic engineer, and in the summer of 1922 he served as assistant engineer for the National Park Service. Through his efforts, thousands of stu- dents have been attracted to Minnesota from all over the United States and Canada. EING on the faculty of the University of Minnesota seems to run in the family of RODNEY M. WEST, who is registrar now, but was formerly a member of the chemistry faculty. Mr. West is the son of the late Willis M. West, professor of history at the University. The duties of registrar have greatly increased since Mr. West succeeded Mr. E. Bird Iohnson who retired several years ago. Mr. West is chairman of the University Printing Committee, but aside from this he has very little time for outside activities. UNIKVERSITH' DEAN and assistant to the president since 1934, IVIALCOLIXI VVILLEY,S special field is so- ciology, and in that capacity he edits the SOCli0Z0gZiCLZZ Review. Dean Willey has many duties which carry with them great responsibility. In addition to bringing the University outstanding personalities as convocation speakers, his job includes the granting of federal aid to needy students. Dean Willey was an investigator in 1931 for President I-Iooverls Research Committee on So- cial Trends. ODNEY M.WE ALCOLM WILL Q
