As one of the lead ing educational men of the area, he is largely- responsible for the high standards of education exhibited at Mines, and it has been through his efforts that many of the students of Mines have been able to remain in school, to train for their place in -war time industries, or for technical posts in the armed services. He has been improving the curriculum at School of Mines, and -with an eye to the future. President Coolbaugh endeavors to prepare Mines for the needs of the post--war -world, when technically trained men, especially en gineers, will be needed as they have never been. MELVIN F.

MORGAN Dean of Faculty 2AE, STA, riFM, <1>AK, Scabbard & Blade, Blue Key, Press Club A.B., Colorado State Teachers College; M.A., Colorado State Teachers College. DEAN MORGAN When seniors graduate and look back upon their years at Mines, one of their most valued memories is of their acquaintance with Dean Jesse R. Morgan. Throughout their career at Mines, students for the last 24 years have been indebted to the Dean. Whether it be for a reinstatement for ex cessive absences, an excuse for an absence, or a personal difficulty. Dean Morgan is always ready to lend willing assistance to his students. Though small in stature. Dean Morgan makes up for this with his integrity, foresight and good judgment. He has a vital interest in all school activities. All Miners know that they can go to the Dean with their troubles, and they realize the fact that he understands their situation and will assist them in every way possible.
