EC hvend Lom “Your Honor!” the lawyer's lament, has rung through the rooms of the College of Law in so many different tones of voice by so many stu- dents that the walls of this division of the University are held erect by the famous words. The Idaho College of Law is under the direc- tion of Dean W. E.. Masterson. Dean Masterson has made a name for himself both in the United States and abroad as an authority on maritime law. He has written a very widely used book on the subject. Members of the College of Law faculty are William Pittman, Bert Hopkins, and Dr. Arthur L. Harding. The Idaho lawyers publish The Idaho Law Fournal, a magazine containing problems of the modern lawyer. Members of the Bar Associa- tion throughout the stare are also contributors to the publication which is issued three times each year. This is one of the very few law maga- zines edited and published by students in the Win.tiAM Epwarp Masterson has led a colorful and eventful life. Texas granted his A.B. degree, Harvard his A.M., LL.B., and S.V.D. degrees, and London his LL.D.

STITTIFIFTE K SESSEESEE a ) “ (, ollege of hatlecs and cl entce A line of students miles long has passed through the doors of the office of the College of Letters and Sciences since it was established. Many of the graduates of this school have made names for themselves and for the University after they have entered the practical field of their chosen profession. Doctors, chemists, physicists, scientists, jour nalists, and many others receive their training under the jurisdiction of the College of Letters and Science. Already having secured an enviable reputa- tion under the guidance of Dean John Kostalek, Joun Anron Kostra.ek is a chemist of accomplishment and renown. Be fore coming to Idaho in 1911, he was chemist for a large rubber company. During the World War he served as a Warfare Chemist in Washington, D. C. Wisconsin and Illinois were his academic teachers, but experience has since added to his knowledge. ef 29 fo the future growth of the college is well assured. The present age of science and progress has added greatly to the number of students inter- ested in this field of knowledge, and it is under the direction of this division of the University that scientific study and research is carried on, Dean Kostalek left for California in February on his sabbatical leave.

sckanl ofc Toe 4 sley “Book larnin’” is a small part of the study thar the students in the School of Forestry par- take of while earning their degree from that school. The University of Idaho owns many acres of densely forested land which provides an open air laboratory for the students in the school to learn practical methods. In addition to the valuable training the students receive through practical work on the “experimental acres,” they also have access to an experiment station maintained in Moscow by the United States Forest Service. The competency of the graduates of this school was experienced with the founding of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the spring of 1933, at which time every available man in the school was given a responsible position by the government. Dr. Ernest E. Hubert was pro- moted to Acting Dean of the school after the death of Francis Garner Miller in March. Dr. Hubert has been at Idaho since 1926. Ernest Everstr Huser, also Acting Dean of the Graduate School during the sabbatical absence of C. Ww. Hungerford, is noted for his re- search work in plant ps ratah After receiving his B. S. and M. S. degrees from the University of Monts ina and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, he came to Idaho in 192 as a professor of Forestry. SFTTETSEE K SSESSESE jr, Oe) aioe c ChLlhege é d Many freshmen have entered the office of the Dean of the Junior College and wondered “Just what is this Junior College all about?”’ The same question is in the minds of not only the fresh- men, but it also is of concern to some of the parents who send their children to the Univer- sity. The purpose of the college is to give the stu- dents a better understz inding of the Univ ersity and allow them to become well acquainted with university routine. The Junior College requires two years of study, and after completion of this the students enter the senior college. Tuomas Stone Kerr was evidently T.S. Kerr, Dean of the Junior College , directs the educational training of many university stu- dents. It is his duty to give personal attention to the curriculum of those in his college. All students entering the School of Business Administration and the College of Letters and Science first complete the courses of the Junior College. a natural born executive as all of his positions have been of that class. Before he entered the educational field he was a chautauqua circuit director and later traveled for the Washington State Retail Associa- tion. Before coming to the Univer- sity in 1924, he was superintendent of schools at Bonners Ferry. re $ 28 fo

STITITSCE K SSSSEESEE BP ie... ed Based on the principle of building a greater University of Idaho, the Idaho Alumni Associa- tion has been functioning since the first gradu- ating class left the University forty years ago. The association is not an organization which meets after Homecoming to talk over old times, but its members are continually in session, not as a group bur individually, expending their time and interest for the welfare of the Univer- sity. Burton L. French, Moscow, is the president of the Alumni Association. To offer greater con- tacts all over the United States the association maintains six regional vice presidents.
