UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA APPOINTS NET? DEAN
Commenting upon the appointment, Presi
dent Moore said; "The work of the Faculty
and life of the students they teach at any
college or university, revolve around the
Dean. There have been two great Deans in
the history of the University of Alaska;
Dean Paddy who first developed Its School
of Mines; and then some years later, Dean
Duckerlng who brought the Engineering
School of the University to Its present
position of Importance. Although a good
Dean like a good President does not favor
his own personal field, but aids the work
of ell departments of the University,
neverless, one cannot help but be grati
fied that during these years In which grme
end fisheries are so important to the e
conony of r.laska, and forestry likely to
be so, that our new Dean ccmes to us with
a personal background strong in those two
fields.'1 Dr. Moore also said, "At this
time of transition of Faculty leadership
from Dean Duckerlng to Dr. Hosley, the U
nlverslty would like to thank Dr. Minnie
E. Wells, who has so ably carried the du
ties of Dean Duckerlng which fell to her
as Acting Dean upon his death."
Dr. Hosley In commenting on his new po
sition, said: "While I cm a comparative
newcomer to Alaska, I have developed a
very high respect for the University, its
staff and student body. I believe the
Institution Is fulfilling a real need and
that Its fields of usefulness are only be
ginning. I am looking forwrrd to this
closer association with faculty and stu -
dents".
