President Neale meets with the Board of Regents This is the seventh statement that I have written for the Gem of the Mountains. Since it will be the last, I may be forgiven if I say a few words about student life at the University of Idaho. When I first came to the institution, I heard a great deal about the Idaho spirit and the friendly atmosphere that existed on the campus. | thought that perhaps these early statements represented a kind of institutional folk-lore and that in actual practice I would find conditions on the Idaho campus very much the same as at other universities. My belief after seven years is that in loyalty to the institution under all conditions and circumstances, and in doing their part to make the University better from year to year, the students of the University of Idaho exemplify a spirit which I never expect to see surpassed. Just now the University of Idaho, along with most of the other state universities in the country, is confronted with the difficult problem of providing buildings and other facilities to take care o! increased enrollment and to recover from the serious effects of economies practiced during the depression years. In spite of lack of means to do immediately what needs to be done at the University, I have no doubt but that the people of this state will, in the not far distant future, give the University of Idaho the buildings, the means to secure and hold facully members, and the means to encourage research which will make the University of Idaho into a really great University. The Idaho spirit and the friendly atmosphere on the Idaho campus are among the greatest assets of the University, and if they continue to exist, will hasten ihe day when the University will be supported by the state in such a manner that its full possibilities may be realized. I have enjoyed being at the University of Idaho more than | can say, and hope to carry with me always something of the Idaho spirit. Sincerely yours, M. G. NEALE, President. PAGE 24

By keeping his curriculum in accordance with the changes in state and national law, Dean Pen- dleton Howard has maintained a high standard for the College of Law. His interest in changing legislation has led him to write a group of articles appearing in national magazines. Fifty students have been enrolled in the senior Law College. From other divisions this curricu- lum draws students who have enrolled in some law courses. Dean Howard, who has his Ph.D. in Public Law and Jurisprudence from Columbia University, says that he most admires the Idaho campus for its democratic spirit. Pendleton Howard Graduate School Charles W. Hungerford, who has been with the University of Idah o since 1909, earned his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin. He is dean of the rapidly-developing Graduate School. At present there are 150 students enrolled in his school working for their masters degrees in arts and the various sciences. In the future Dean Hungerford hopes to have sufficient facilities and teaching personnel to warrant the granting of doctorate degrees at the University of Idaho. He is very interested in plants and, as a hobby collected nearly 200 varieties of bearded irises. At present Doctor Hungerford is western vice president of the American Iris Society.
