COLLEGE OF FORESTRY Beeman W inkenwerder B ' IRD study classes were organized by Hugo Winkenwerder, dean of the college of forestry, while he was a student at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Tennis and dramatics were also his college activities. He received a B.S. degree from Wisconsin and an M.A. from Yale. He came to the University of Washington in 1909. One of the major proj- ects of his college is that of the Charles La- throp Pack forest. This 2,000-acre forest, a gift from Charles Lathrop Pack, is located at La Grande, Washington. Every spring the sophomore forestry class moves to the forest, spending the entire quarter in field work. Prof. Bror L. Grondal, oldest in service to the forestry college, has picked automobile travel as his favorite pastime because, in his capacity of consulting engineer for dry-kiln companies, he must visit nearly every saw- mill in the Northwest and California. His latest interest is in taking photomicro- graphic studies of the structure of wood, to discover the penetration of preservatives. Professor Grondal attended the same school for sixteen years — from the first grade until he was awarded his A.B. in 1910 — ■ Bethany College, in Lindesborg, Kansas. Robert Mateer Beeman, senior in the col- lege of forestry, was selected by Xi Sigma Pi, national forestry honorary, as the outstand- ing student in his department. He was chosen principally because of his excellent grades. He is a member of Xi Sigma Pi. S T Pack Forest Exercise

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM Kennedy c ' 0 EKING news on two local papers and going to school at the same time is the way Dean Vernon McKenzie of the journal- ism school spent most of his last three years at the University of Toronto, Canada. He was editor of the college magazine, inside wing on the football team in his senior year and a tennis champ. He received an A.B. de- gree from Toronto, and an M.A. from Har- vard. Dean McKenzie is a member of Sigma Chi. Alpha Delta Sigma, and Sigma Delta Chi. He has this year edited a book, Behind the Headlines, a collection of stories by famous reporters. = h= Born on Washington ' s Birthday, a mem- ber of the University of Washington faculty for twenty-two years, and manager of the Washington Press Association, Frederick Washington (Pa) Kennedy, director of the journalism laboratories, feels that his middle name suits him. Starting as a printer ' s devil at the age of ten, Kennedy has worked on newspapers ever since. Sigma Delta Chi, national profes- sional journalism fraternity, looks to Pa for faculty advice. Alda Martell, senior in the school of jour- nalism, was selected by the journalism fac- ulty as the outstanding student in the depart- ment. As senior representative on the Board of Control this year, a member of Mortar Board, and president of Theta Sigma Phi, Miss Martell has distinguished herself. During her sophomore year she was the winner of the Isabella Austin scholarship, given annually to the woman partially self- supporting and highest in scholarship while a freshman. The Dailx Shack

COLLEGE OF MINES Corey Fo OUR laboratory layouts for the school of mines have been designed by Milnor Roberts and used by the University since his arrival here in 1901. Now, as dean, he hopes the present building, completely equipped at a cost of one-third of a million dollars, will be the last. Dean Roberts has devoted all but five of his summer vacations to professional work in mining engineering, his greatest interest, throughout the western states, Canada and Alaska. Secondary hobbies are hunting, fish- ing, golf and tennis. For thirteen years he was chairman of the University athletic com- mittee and was one of the founders of Oval Club on this campus. At Stanford, where he received his A.B., he was leader of the Banjo Club, and a member of Sigma Sigma, upper- class honorary. For many years an active Mountaineer, C. R. Corey, professor who has given the most service to the school of mines, has spent his mountain-climbing excursions in collecting specimens for his hobby and his work, metal- lurgy. This interest has existed since his col- lege days at the Colorado School of Mines, the Montana School of Mines, and Columbia University. He is a member of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engi- neers, also of Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa. Thomas L. Pittman, senior in the school of mines, majoring in metallurgical engineer- ing, was selected by the faculty as the out- standing student. Pittman lives in a Montana mining region, and has worked in Montana, Idaho, and Juneau, Alaska, mines during each summer, thus earning his way through school.
