With her characteristically gracious manner, strict yet kindly judgment, and wealth of time and consideration for all, Dean Margaret E. Mack is one of the most indefatiguable directors of campus activities. As head of the N. Y. A., Artemisia and Manzanita Halls, Dean of Women, final authority on the social calendar, and professor of hygiene and nature study, she is one of the most versatile personalities at Nevada . . . Dean Reuben C. Thompson believes that student control of student affairs is an essential part of college training, that the relation between the Dean ' s office and student body should be one of democratic cooperation, and that students welcome this attitude and exhibit their ability to handle their own affairs so capably it is rarely neces- sary for the Dean to step in through the Student Affairs and Discipline Committee which he heads . . . Superbly fitted for his position as Dean of Men through his years of experience as head of the Philosophy Department, Dean Thompson is a popular student counselor ... As faculty members for many years, Dean Mack and Dean Thompson have proved themselves worthy of the admiration and respect accorded them. n

A capable student leader, Dean Frederick Wood, one of the younger members of the University faculty, has risen from a position as mathe- matics professor to Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in seven years. Dean Wood still retains his interest in his position as Head of the Department of Mathematics. Spurred by the possibilities in the field of Mechanical Engineering, Dean Sibley, Dean of the College of Engineering and Head of the School of Mechanical Engineering, has, with his son as co-author, just fin- ished a text on Thermodynamics. Among his other works are a pamphlet on air conditioning, which is being published, and several text- books on machine design and me- chanical drawing. Through his position as Chairman of the Teacher Appointment Service, in which capacity he has served since 1923, Dr. Fred W. Traner, capable Dean of Education, has been a boon to every prospective teacher. So specialized has training in the Edu- cation Department become under his direction, that out of some nine hundred teachers in the state, two hundred seventy-five are graduates of the four-year school, and three hun- thed arc Nevada Normal School graduates. A soil specialist who has made suc- cessful experiments on the develop- ment of fertilizer; a man whose objective is the practice of scientific .igriculture as a profession, Robert Stewart, Dean of the College of Agriculture and Head of the Depart- ment of Agronomy, brings practical interest to his agronomy classes.
