But even more treasured by his students are the conferences that help them with more than class schedules and credits. The Chemistry building would never be the same without Associate Professor Lillian Cohen. Formulae and equations, in her classes, are more than academic prob- lems-and much more interesting. The psychology of making everyone like him is just as much a part of Professor Charles Bird's classes in elementary psychology as any of the ordinary textbook facts. The pharmacy seniors and even the alumnae never forget the first pharmacy class they had way back in sophomore year because it was taught by Associate Pro- fessor Earl B. Fischer. Edmund Wfilliamson, coordinator of University per- sonnel scrvices, is also a professor of psychology. Young as he is, he understands just what students need and what they want as well. Pleasant and helpful and very wise in biochemical matters is Ross A. Gortner, professor in agriculture. And the professor who teaches most gladly of all is Dora V. Smith who teaches beginners the way they should teach. Such is the professorial life. Those who follow it must write, study, experiment and invent-and they must gladly teach. . f ' c - ' ,, 21 ,..,5jf:' . 1 .u-1 11.11 - 2 3? ga rm , , , ,M ...V 5 A. EDMUND G. WILLIANISON DORA V.

CHIPS whose school was never the same without him are the scores of professors who win a special place in the hearts and memories of their stu- dents. No one stands high above the restg every member of the faculty has his own circle of student-friends. Stories for boys, for foresters as well as the youngsters who read the Scott Burton stories he writes, are the specialty of enthusiastic E. G. Cheyney, professor of forestry. To the majors in home economics, the next high to God must be the Goldstein sisters, for the girls bring all of their problems from house plans to studying to either Miss Harriet or Miss Vetta. Witty, good-natured Asher N. Christensen, assistant professor of political science, gestures wildly, loves to talk to any and all of his students. From their first days in freshman clinic, the medics learn to respect the gentleness without sentimentality, the knowledge and humanity of Dr. Wfilliam A. O'Brien. Understanding and kindliness have won Professor NVilliam H. Emmons, head of the geology department, a popular position as high as his official rank. The problems and difiiculties of thousands of students are the everyday work of John G. Darley, director of the Testing Bureau, who makes new friends with every problem he solves. Paul A. Minault is not only handsome and French and fun to be with. He is a very good teacher who presents his language gayly and laughs with the class. fzgmjq STEIN VVTLLTANI A.

Wfilliam Cowclry THE ALL-UNIVERSITY COUNCIL isn't going to grow hide- bound with tradition. Severe attacks of growing pains have prompted the organization to change its constitu- tion four or five times in the last ten years. It was in the early 1900's that the University first felt a need for a group which would express student opinion and advise the administration on student ideas. As a result, the All-University Council was formed. The council, the most important student organization on campus, con- trols all student government functions. It has played a large part in the establishment of such governing bodies as the Board of Publications and in providing an oflice in the administration for the supervision of finances and actions of student organizations. A few years ago the council backed the movement which investigated stu- dent life and took steps to improve living conditions and recreation activities. Any student on campus who is at All - U - Council UNDER TI-112 GAVEL of efficient Roderick Lawson, coun- cil president, came a number of controversial issues and plans intended to benefit the student body. Most hectic problem the council faced in midwinter was that of cheaper transportation for St. Paul students. The matter was argued pro and con by every organization from the Inter City Bus Line to Professor Garver's economics classes, and the council presented its plan for a special bus line from St. Paul to the campus. With the same idea of saving money, the council dickered for lower rental rates on caps and gowns. A University banking system was formed for those students who have money but need a place to put it, and the councilis plan included an iden- tification card for all university students to facilitate cashing checks and obtaining credit. One of the council ideas which wasn't entirely popular was the one con- cerning parking restrictions.
