Prov. Hanorn L. Axreus Classical Languages JEPARTMENT HEADS The war forced many adjustments on the Uni- versity’s department heads during the year. With government and defense positions taking several members of the “U ’ faculty from the classroom, the problem of filling vacancies be- came paramount. And when new instructors could not be found, the department heads filled the empty positions. New responsibilities, to augment regular duties, were continuously be- ing assumed by department heads. But despite added work, longer hours, and heavier responsibilities, each department head kept the university educational machinery run- ning smoothly. Their personal interest in the students and their assistance to skidding schol- ars was not slackened. They still found time for conferences with worried students. And they did it while instructing extra classes and main- taining Idaho's high teaching standards. Students know department heads — they always have. The past year was no exception. Through daily contact with the heads of depart- ments, students found which were willing to help-——they learned which were lofty and indif- ferent. The approved often served as the confi- dant of many an Idaho student. To them were taken individual student problems which deans were too busy to hear. Students who found themselves the unhappy possessors of penciled ‘ D's ’ and red “F's” were frequent visitors at the offices of department heads. From these friendly instructors they received helpful advice and additional instruc- tion. They learned that department heads had a genuine interest in students problems, that they were willing to help solve these problems. Conferences with professors often pulled stu- dents out of ruts leading to scholastic failure. Prov. J. W. Baxron Psychology Dra. L. C. Cany Chemistry Paor, C. W. Curxownrn Philosophy Paor Arvan A.
