Bmwx Annex Brown Ayres was born in Memphis in 1856, at, which place the Iirst ten years of his life were spent. At the close of the Civil War he moved with his mother to New Orleans, his father having died six years before. His early education was obtained in the pri- vate schools of Memphis and New Orleans. At the age of fifteen he entered Washington and Lee University, where he completed the engineering course in three years. The following year he went to Stevens Institute of Technology, from which he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. Later he did two years' postgraduate work at Johns Hopkins, being a Fellow in Physics in that institution. In the fall of 1880 he took the chair of Physics at what is now Tulane University, but which at that time bore the name of the University of. Louisiana? For twenty-four years he served this institution, becoming Dean of the College of Technology in 1894 and Dean of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and Technology in 1900, which latter position he held until elected to the presidency of the University of Tennessee in 1904. Since 1904 he has devoted himself to building up the University of Tennessee; and suffice it to say that. in his ten years of service that institution has more than doubled its equipment, Faculty, and student body, much of which success is due solely to the one man, Brown Ayres.

JAMES D. Hosmxs Forty-seven years ago James Dickason Hoskins was born at New Market, in Jefferson County. His boyhood was spent in New Market and Dandridge, at which latter place twelve years were spent in the public schools and in Maury Academy. 111 1887 he ene tered the University of Tennessee, where he obtained the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1891, taking two years later the Master's degree, and in 1897 the degree of Bachelor of Laws. After several years of teaching in preparatory schools, he was elected Assistant Pro- fessor of History in the University of Tennessee in 1900. 111 1904 he was made Asso- ciate Professor of History and Economics, and in 1907 he became professor of these subjects. He served in this capacity until the fall of 1913. when the two subjects were separated and a profeSSOr assigned to each of them, Professor Hoskins retaining the chair of History, Immediately following the death of Cooper D. Schmitt in December, 1910, Professor Hoskins was chosen temporary Dean for the rest of the year. At the opening of school in the fall of 1911 he was unanimously elected permanent Dean, which position he has held to the present time. Although young in years for so important a position, he has shown that he is by no means young in experience. His reign has been characterized by fairness and justice and a. feeling of love toward the Whole student body. His attitude has been rather to forgive than to punish, and yet he has unhesitatingly sought to enforce all the rules of discipline established by the authorities of the University. His three yearsl administration has wrought a decided change in conditions on the hill, and the whole student body now realize that he has their well-being at heart, and that he will do all he can for them, and that, above all, he is a '1 square man.
