COLLEGE EDUCATION BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ENGINEERING AND MINES DOWNTOWN DIVISION DEANS Herbert L. Spencer, dean of the College, has risen rapidly in the education profession. In 1921, he began teaching mathematics in Wilkinsburg high school. After a half year at that institution he came to the Pittsburgh high schools to again teach mathematics. Later he became a vice-principal; in 1927 he was made principal of the Frick Training School. In 1934 he became dean of the College. While principal of the training school, he held the positions of instructor, associate professor, and lecturer, respectively at the University, and finally he became dean. Dean Spencer is interested in the liberal arts method of teacher-training. He was responsible for the changing of the Frick Training School to a four year college connected with the University. He was the first president of the Western Pennsylvania Educational Association. Dean Spencer's cheerfulness—he is optimistic and social—fits him well for his administrative duties. The dean is particularly interested in artistic photography; he has exhibited some of his photographs in the International Photography Salon. 25 Herbert L. Spencer Dean of the College

tilKl'tone Siitdio. N«w Vofk Charles E. Prall Dean of tbt School of Education Charles E. Prall, dean of the School of Education, came to the University as an educator with a complete and varied career. From 1912 to 1927 he was superintendent of four different Iowa school systems. At that time he became professor of Educational Research at the University of Arkansas. The following year he accepted the position of dean of Education at the Arkansas State University. He left this position to become dean of Education at Pitt, September 1934. He is an active member of the American Educational Research Association and in the Minnesota Conference on Research in Higher Education. Dean Prall not only has a thorough knowledge of the problems of education and of educational research, but a vital and understanding interest in the people with whom he comes in contact. Dean Prall enjoys outdoor recreation. In Arkansas, his garden, upon which he expended his characteristic thoroughness, was one of the show places of the city. The Prall home was from early Spring to December plentifully supplied with flowers. Camping and fishing also interest the dean. He takes many fishing trips with his son. He enjoys baseball. Dr. Charles S. Tippets, dean of the School of Business Administration was present at a dinner of the American Institute of Banking some months ago. Before the end of the dinner everyone was calling him by his first name. The dean's case-inspiring attitude conceals no carefully planned front; to him everyone is a human being, a person to treat kindly and sympathetically. It never seems to have entered Dean Tippets' head that his position makes him in any way different from his students. He concentrates on the problem of how to do most for those with whom he comes in contact. After graduating from Mcrccrsburg, Dean Tippets attended Princeton where he received his B.A. degree and a fellowship for the study of law at Harvard. The war interrupted the course in law, and when the dean returned from France his interest in economics caused him to drop law. He studied at Princeton for his Ph.D. and taught there for three years. Before he came to the University he served as professor of Economics at Iowa, Washington University, and Buffalo. 26 Charles S. Tippets Dean of the School of Business Administration
