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.

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 LIBRARY SCIENCE E ROM the time when the University library was a small cubby-hole in the base- ment of Denny Hall until the present, Wil- liam Elmer Henry, dean emeritus of the library school, has watched its progress. Dean Henry came to the University in 1906, after nine years as Indiana state librarian. He took A.B. and B.M. degrees at Indiana University, where he became a member of Phi Kappa Psi, and received a fellowship at the University of Chicago. During the expansion of the University library. Dean Henry made a collection which he calls the Evolution of the Book, and presented the library with a $1,000 en- dowment to care for it. In appreciation, the alumni association of the library school is making a book of all articles he has written for the Library Journal. When Ruth Worden, acting dean of the University library school, isn ' t teaching up- perclass students and graduates in her de- partment how to select books, she selects them for herself — her hobby. She was grad- uated from Wellesley College with an A.B. degree. She took up library work at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, and later graduate work at the University of Chicago. Tennis would be Prof. Charles Wesley Smith ' s idea of a hobby, if he had time for one. As instructor in library science. Univer- sity librarian, author of several books, and professor longest with the library school, his time is filled. A 5,000-volume library at Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, of which he had charge, started Professor Smith in library work. He received an A.B. degree from the University of Illinois, coming to Washington as assistant librarian in 1905. Suin inK Doors — Library
