College of Law Penpteton Howarp For six successive years the College of Law has shown substantial increases, and fifty- three students are now registered in the law curriculum. In addition, many more are tak- ing the combined Arts-Law six-year course, and still others are combining Business and Law in a six-year curriculum. Pendleton Howard, newly-installed Dean of the College of Law, received his LL.B. from the University of Texas, his A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. in Public Law and Jurisprudence from Columbia University. Since 192g he has served on the staff of the University of Idaho, and has written a text, “Criminal Justice in England,” published in 1931. In December, 1934, Dean Howard, with Professors Harding and Pittman, attended the thirty-second meeting of the Association of American Law Schools in Chicago. Dean Howard spoke on the subject, “What, if any- thing, should be done by the law schosts to acquaint law students with the so-called New Deal legislation and its workings?’ While at Northwestern U Iniversity last year as visiting profes ssor of law, Dean Howard gave a course in which acts of the New Deal Congress, in- cluding the NRA, the Banking Act, the Se- curities Act, and the Tennessee Valley Au- thority were studied.

Doctors and chemists, physicists, scientists, journalists, and many others receive their training in the College of Letters and Science. John Anton Kostalek, Dean of the College of Letters and Science, received his B.A. from the University of Illinois. From 1912 to 1918 he served as Research Chemist for the Good- rich Rubber C ompany, and in igi8 he turned his technical training to patriotic use in the Chemical Warfare Division of the Ubited States Army. In 1g1g Doctor Kostalek en- tered the Chemistry Department of the Uni- versity; since that time he has risen to the position of dean of his college, carrying with him all of the accuracy and thoroughness of manner which he acquired in his years of scientific experience. He was President of the Northwest Science Association during 1930, and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi.

School of Forestry Rrowaro E, McArove Since 1909 the students of Idaho have se- cured adequate preparation in forestry, and have entered the lumbering industry prepared for positions of leadership. The school is with- in a short distance of dense forests and some of the largest sawmills and logging camps in the United States. Excursions are made at all seasons of the year to sawmills, logging camps and various forests in order that practical field work in all branches of the science may be had. The University has approximately 10,000 acres of experimental forest land, complete arboretum and nursery, and well- equipped laboratories for instruction in all branches of forestry. Foresters at Idaho are allowed to choose either General Forestry, Logging Engineering, or Range Management. Employment of the nineteen graduates prom- ises to be good, many of the men going direct- ly into the Forest Service, and others entering the service of private firms. Dean Richard E. McArdle, installed Dean of the School of Forestry in September, 1934, comes to us with his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Since 1924 he has been with the Forest Service, recently as Associate Silviculturist of the Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment Station at Portland, Oregon. Junior College Tuomas Stone Kerr Ir 1s the aim of the Junior College to offer the new student two years of general and cultural subjects, arranged so that he will have a good preparation for any field of advanced study which he may decide to enter, and planned to give him an adequate basis for making an intelligent selection of a profession or vocation. The increasing de- pendence being placed by the average stu- dent in the services and the opportunities for consultation and advice offered by the Junior College is shown by the increase in enrollment of over forty-five per cent over the figure of last year. The total enrollment of six hundred and thirteen includes all freshmen and sopho- mores who will enter the School of Business Administration and the College of Letters and Science. Thomas Stone Kerr, Dean of the Junior College, was superintendent of schools at Bonners F ‘erry before coming here in 1924, and since that time has written a book on business law which is now being used as a college text. Dean Kerr won his B.A. degree in Political Science at Indiana Univer- sity, and his LL.B. from the University of Michigan. His time in Moscow has been well spent, for he has guided thousands of stu- dents through their first years, and was presi- dent of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce. Page 22

School of Mines Alumni Association Agruur W. Faunrenwatp Locatep scarcely a hundred miles from some of the richest deposits of silver and lead in the world, and near large gold mines that have been paying profits since 1880, the Uni- versity’s School of Mines offers an excellent opportunity for students to acquire practical experience in mining operations. The School of Mines has been organized since 1917, and grants degrees in mining, metallurgy, and geolo gy. When President Roosevelt last year called Dean John Wellington Finch to serve as the Director of the United States Bureau of Mines, his place at Idaho was filled by an- other well-known mining authority, Arthur William Fahrenwald. Dean Fahrenwald re- ceived his B.S. from the South Dakota School of Mines in 1914; he has later received pro- fessional mining degrees from South Dakota and New Mexico. From iIgig to 1924 he worked as research engineer for the United States Bureau of Mines; since 1929 he has been with the University of Idaho, and is also consulting metallurgist to the International Nickel Company of Canada. Dean Fahren- wald is the inventor of several ore-dressing processes and machines, and has published books on the flotation process and also on the cyanide process. He is a member of Sigma Xi.
