Fish- ing and hiking he considers good pastimes. Professor Goodrich took his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington, from which he was graduated. During the war he did chemical research as a state officer. He devotes a good deal of his time to the drug gardens, of which he has charge. He is a member of Kappa Psi social fra- ternity, and Sigma Xi, science honorary. 5)= Rodger D. Dille was selected as the out- standing student in the college on the basis of scholarship alone, for laboratory work takes so much time that the student has no freedom for campus activities, Dean C.

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

DEPARTMENT OF OCEAN- OGRAPHY R ' fg T« I HE director of Washington ' s new ocean- ographic laboratories and professor of chem- istry, Thomas Gordon Thompson, wears a wedding ring, calls his wife the Supreme Court of Final Decision, and is the father of two boys and a six-months-old daughter. His greatest thrill, he declares, came when in 1930 he was appointed director of the oceanographic laboratories. Dr. Thompson has had forty-three articles published in scientific journals — twenty-eight of them on the chemistry of water. In 1930 Dr. Thompson was granted a travel grant by the Rockefeller Foundation. He studied at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, later finishing at the Univer- sity of Washington with a Ph.D. in 1918. George Burton Rigg, professor oldest in University experience on the new oceanog- raphy staff, played left guard on the Univer- sity of Iowa football team while in college, and edited the paper. Dr. Rigg, here since 1909, taught Prof. Thompson his p ' s and q ' s when the present oceanography director came to Washington. His own textbook, College Botany, is used here, and its subtitle — With Special Reference to Liberal Educa- tion — marked the beginning of ten years ' work by Dr. Rigg to put botany in a closer contact with other fields of knowledge. Henry Wirth and Martin Johnson were selected by Dr. Thomas Thompson as the outstanding oceanography students in the new department. Both are graduate students, working for doctor ' s degrees. Although their grades are high the selection was based on their contributions to the field of ocean study. Both have had many articles pub- lished. Oceanography Lab — Brand Neva
