NEW FACULTY MEMBERS 24 Lloyd Kirkham Garrison Dean of the Law School I enjoy everything,” says not only the voice of Lloyd Kirkham Garrison, new dean of the Law School, but his eyes and his smile in fact, his entire personality—also confirm his statement. Emerging from aristocratic and distinctive Harvard in 1922 with the degree of bachelor of laws. Dr. Garrison, grandson of the famous liberator William Lloyd Garrison, entered the law office of Root, Clark, Buckner, and How land in New York City. Since August 1930, Mr. Garrison served in the capacity of special assistant to the attorney general of the United States and directed, under the Solicitor General, a nation-wide inquiry into the operation of the bankruptcy act. Considering, “All the world's a stage, Dean Garrison says, “it is the function of our schools to give prospective lawyers not merely stage directions, but the temper of mind which will make them worthy actors. John D. Hicks Professor of History Sarcastically humorous in lecture and pleasingly entertaining socially, is the able successor of Prof. F. L. Paxon of the history department Prof. John D. Hicks. Although Professor Hicks received his B.A. and his M.A. degrees from Northwestern University, he is, nevertheless, not entirely a stranger to our campus, since it was here that he obtained his Ph. D. in 1916, and here that he taught during the 1919 summer session. “But it's changed a lot since then, smiles Prof. Hicks. A desire to be known as a historian rather than a college dean, induced Professor Hicks to leave his position as Dean of the College of Letters and Science at the University of Nebraska and assume the position of professor of history here at Wisconsin. Gustav J. Gonser Major in Command, University R. O. T. C. “This is the first time I've ever had charge of a university R. O. T. C. unit, but I like it, remarks Major Gustav J. Gonsor, commandant of the Wisconsin R. O. T. C., transferred here this past year from the regular army. Rough but pleasant in manner and speech, the Major has already won the admiration and respect of the men in the corps. Since his graduation from West Point in 1912, he has been stationed in ten different states. A portion of his service has also been in the Hawaiian Islands. He came originally from Elmira, New York, and proves a worthy successor to Major Tom Fox, commandant here the pre-cceding several years. Hicks Garrison Gonser
