Dean of Faculty DEAN F. L. XVEST is a man who meets stu- dents under the most trying circumstances and yet maintains absolute democracy and fairness in all his dealings with them. At present he is Dean of the Faculty as well as the Chairman of the Attendance and Scholar- ship Committee and as such honors students who make exceptionally fine scholastic records, naming the Senior who will give the Com- mencement Address. Besides this he has charge of the Graduate Division and Regis- trar's office. We can have only the highest admiration F' L- WEST for a man such as Dean West. Dean West is admired throughout the school for his friendliness and fairness in his dealings with students and for his high-mindedness and sense of responsibility as Dean of the faculty.

E. G. lJE'l'ERSON President To rise to a position of tremendous responsibility at an unusually early age and then to fill that position successfully and to develop it with a series of notable accomplishments is the fine achievement of President Elmer George Peterson. lle will be remembered for his firm uncompromising stand against all forms of immorality-5 he is devoted to stern virtues and he has attained notable success in making that type of idealism characteristic generally of the students. It is doubtful that any college in America has a higher moral tone than the Utah State Agricultural College. But should all of this be forgotten he still remains one college president who does not believe that all real education is passed out in books or in the schoolsg one who believes that to try to understand the seen and the unseen of the universe is the first necessity of intelligent living. - .iff 19' -

The Eederal de- partments administers funds provided by the National Congress and supplies many specialists who pay regular visits to Utah in the interest of developing the Extension Service of this State. Experiment Station THE Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, established in 1889, is a major divi- sion of the college, supported by S-tate and Federal funds. The State funds apply largely to maintenance and operation, the respective Federal funds to specific fields of research. Through this co- operative relationship the state secures many benefits not otherwise attainable. The Experiment Station seeks by research and experiment to solve both farm and home problems, especially those which farmers and farm women individually are in no position to attack successfully. The problems being studied by the Experiment Station include those pertaining to the maintenance of soil fertility, conservation and efficient utilization of irrigation water, improvement of plants and animals, control of insect pests and diseases, development of cultural methods, marketing of farm products, costs of production, livestock T feeding, human nutrition, rural living stand- ards and community relationships.
