DEAN J. N. SIMPSON Under the careful treatment of Dr. Simp- son the Medical School has been restored to life, and has now entered a normal and healthy growth. We feel safe to predict that within a few years, under the super- vision of such a leader, the Medical School of West Virginia University will compare favorably with the best institutions of its kind in the country. PROF. JOHN HARRINGTON COX Any student who has taken work to Prof- essor Cox cannot but have felt the touch of a true scholar. It can truthfully be said that he has no place in his class for bluf- fers and loafers . To the willing and conscientious student he is a warm friend. It is men of his type that give real strength to our faculty. DEAN HENRY CRAIG JONES After very great deliberation Dean Jones was elected as the one man with sufficient ability and proper ideals to insure for the College of Law the continued good reputa- tion it has gained in former years. During his one or two short visits here he has created a good impression with the stu- dents and the members of the faculty. The College of Law is to be congratulated in having secured a Dean combining so many promising qualities.
