Professors Retiring WILLIAM GOULD VINAL Professor of Nature Education Knowledge of tlie great out- doors, knowledge of men, and the knowledge of how to promote the education of man through the resources of nature: these will be missed as much as Cap ' n Bill himself. ROBERT DORMAN HAWLEY Treasurer of the University For many years the University ' s chancellor of exchequer — compe- tent, zealous, always acting in the best interests of school, commun- ity, and Commonwealth — Mr. Hawley ' s tenure in office has been in the best tradition of enlightened public service. BASIL BOISE WOOD Librarian of the University Scholar, bibliophile, adminis- trator: this familiar figure has l)econie a campus institution. His dedication to duty, his devotion to the cause of scholarship have not gone imappreciated. The L ni- versity loses a faithful, unstinting servant. -28

The Graduate School The Graduate School of the University this year embarked on a pohcy of expansion under its new Dean, Professor Woodside. Though just now coming into prominence in ahnost all studies offered by the University, the Graduate School is by no means a new institution. Graduate courses leading to the degree of Doctor of Science were offered in botany under President Clark and in chemistry under Professor Goess- man as early as 1876. It was not until 189 ' -2. under President Henry H. Goodell, that courses leading to the degree of Master of Science were offered. This degree was GILBERT LLEWELLYN WOODSIDE, A..B., DcPauw University; M.A., Ph.D., Harvard University— Dean of the Graduate School. first conferred in June, 1896, on two candidates. Graduate courses leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy were first offered in 1897, with chemistry, botany and entomology as major and minor subjects. The first degree was conferred on one candidate in June, 190 2. In the early years the graduate Avork was conducted under the direct administration of the Pres- ident in conjunction with the undergraduate program. The de- mand for advanced work in- creased, however, and in Junc j 1908, the trustees made the Grad uate School a separate unit. Today courses are available leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Land- scape Architecture, Master of Sci- ence in Civil, Electrical, and Me- chanical Engineering. .
