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.

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

Dean Edward John Iddings THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE The College of Agriculture is not only adequately equipped with laboratory and class-room facilities, but has a well- trained and highly efficient faculty. In every field of agricul- ture, the Idaho institution is a recognized leader. The University has 612 acres of land at Moscow with which to work, and in four other places in the state are large experi- mental tracts which total 700 acres. The College of Agricul- ture is one of the divisions of the University separate from the junior college system, for it gives a four-year course which culminates in the degree of B.S.(Agr.). During their first two years all students take the same course and then they may major in almost any of the numerous branches of agriculture. The result is a trained leader for research, for extension, and for many other forms of public activity. The University is particularly fortunate in having Edward John Iddings, M.S., to administer the work of the College of Agriculture. He directs the extension and experimental work with a high effectiveness, and advises both students and faculty members of the College with a fine insight and understanding. Page 26
