Dyer. The man chosen was John R. Nichols. Students who transfer from the Southern Branch, to the University proper, now comment: “Dean Nichols has gained respect and admira- tion; capable, cheerful, and obliging, he has assumed his many responsibilities and fulfilled them all.” This year’s enrollment at the Branch was about 900.
