Dean Jay Glover Eldridge THRE UNIVERSITY FACULTY The Dean of the University Faculty is one of the important administrative officers under the president. But whereas each of the other deans is responsible for his own school or college, the duties of the dean of the faculty concern the University as a whole. He supplements the functions of the college deans; his duties are advisory; he facilitates relation- ships of the several schools and colleges with the president and with the general faculty. These functions are most definitely apparent in the dean’s capacity as vice-chairman of the Academic Council, which is the central administrative body of the University. In the president’s absence the dean presides. To the dean are assigned many general duties growing out of these meetings; he reports the proceedings to the general faculty. Dean Eldridge is head of the Department of Modern Langua- ges and chairman of the Advisory Council of the University Junior Council as well as Dean of the University Faculty. Since he is the dean longest in service of the institution, in that sense his deanship is honorary. Page 24

Permeal J. French THE DEAN OF WOMEN Droper educational values with definiteness of aim and purpose have been responsible for the conservative growth and development of the University of Idaho. Its ranking is with those institutions that have attained to high honor. To many people of the state who have not realized its development, it is a source of never-ending surprise, for already it stands a magnificent monument to the citizens who gave it and to those who have fostered it. The love that it has engendered in students’ hearts will always live and bring them back again and again to glimpse youth, renew friendships and avow allegiance. The progress of the University is certain, but there must be neither artificiality nor lack of honest, steady purpose. It must build men and women of courage, character, and ability, for their measure alone will be the measure of her progress. —PERMEAL J. FRENCH. aE — — — ee Page 23

Dean Martin Fuller Angell THE SENIOR COLLEGE OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE The College of Letters and Science, this year for the first time, is a senior college. In it juniors and seniors specialize in the arts and sciences. The plan of major and minor sub- jects is supplanted by a scheme of curricula, each of which centers in one major subject and its closely correlated matter. Time for the student will be saved, the material cov- ered will be more valuable and the result much more practical. This year a number of sophomores in the University are studying in the Senior College because their requirements are thus more easily met. In the academic year 1931-1932, however, the plan becomes fully operative. The dean of the Senior College of Letters and Science can well be classed as “a man who.” Martin Fuller Angell, Ph.D., has served the University for fifteen years with enthusiasm, quality and distinction.
