Professor of one of the best known courses on campus, General Economics, and acting dean of the School of Business and Public Administration, Dr. Harry Gunnison Brown is still always glad to see and talk with anyone who drops into his office. Genial, smiling, but quiet, he is much more interested in talking about the other person than about himself. Dr. Brown has been on the University of Mis- souri faculty since 1915. Distinctive about him is the fact that he skipped the usual Masterls degree and was given a Doctor of Economics degree at DEAN BRUWN Yale. A good deal of his limited spare time is devoted to his Victory garden. World War II has made heavy demands on HB. and P. A., as the school is called. Many mem- bers of the faculty are in government workg several are with the Office of Price Administrationg and Professor Russell Bauder is on leave to work with the War Labor Board. Under such adverse con- ditions, Dr. Brown and the B. and P. A. faculty carry on their former functions of preparing students for business and public work.

Pag BUSINESS- Russell S. Bauder, Professor One of the B. and P. A. School professors, Russell S. Bauder, B. S., M. A., Ph. D. and a Phi Beta Kappa to boot, lives up to his long title with the amount of work he has to do. It is common talk, and not propa- ganda, that Professor Bauder's quizzes are definitely on the rough side. Pinkney C. Walker, Professor Professor Pinkney C. Walker claims that his favorite pastimes are eating, sleeping, reading, and teaching, but he also has a weakness for Mizzou and the Cardinals. Mutual admiration is shown him by the student body, for his oHice is famous for its open door policy. Here students come to talk over everything from football to economic reform. Professor Bauer Royal D. M. Bauer, professor of accounting, pat- terns his quizzes after the government income taxes- they,re both tough! Professor Bauer is one of the few men in the country who really know what income taxes are about. Their unnecessary complexity are his pet peeve. 229
