j. IDAHO FACULTY
POSITIONS FILLED
HAS STRONG TEACHING STAFF
FOR ALL FRESHMAN
CLASSES

All faculty appointments for the
19221923 session of the University
of Idaho have been made and every
thing is in readiness for the COM
mencement of the fall term on Sept
ember IS, according to a statement
just issued by university administra-
tive officials.
During spring and summer there
has been a turnover of Is faculty
members, or approximately Is per
cent of the personnel. In 1921 the
turnover was about the same while
in 1920 it was practically twice as
great.
Altogether % new members have
been appointed to the faculty. In ad-
dition to the places made vacant by
Is designations, eight new positions
were created to take care of the de-
mands made upon the teaching staff
by the increase in enrolment.
Of the Is who resigned last spring,
five went to other positions offering
larger salaries and three withdrew to
continue graduate study. Only two
of the Is held full professorships.
They were A. E. Evans of the school
of law and Coach Thomas Kelley,
head of the athletic department.
Speaking of the changes in the
personnel of the faculty, DR.. A. H. Up
ham, president of the university, says:
1.-The university faculty is stronger
this fall than ever before and is ample
to take care of the large increase in
enrolment that has taken place.
although the university has been
slightly handicapped in making Sc
lections because of her inability to
offer as attractive salaries as other
state institutions, the appointees Sc
cured are capable men and women in
their respective lines. Many of them
decided to come to Idaho because of
attractions other than salary, life in
the west having the largest appeal.
"All in all, the prospects for this
winter are the brightest that the uni
versity has had for years. With
much greater enrolment than here
tofore evident and with efficient and
poficient instructors obtained to take
care of the work in every department
there is every indication of a success
full year"
The University of Idaho will offer
this year one of the strongest fresh
man courses possible from the stand
point of instruction. In virtually ev-
cry study taken up by the first year
students, heads of departments, doc
tors of philosophy, and men and wo-
men with experience and reputation
will have direct supervision of classes.
In the English department in which
every freshman is required to regis
ter, the first year work comes under
the direction of Dr. George Morey
Miller, head of the department, who
holds a doctorate from the University
of Heidelberg.
The history class in which fresh
men may enroll will be directed by
either Frederic L. Church, or Profess
sor c. J. Brosnan. Mr.. Brosnan is
the author of the history of Idaho
used in the public schools of the
state and is an authority on Idaho
and northwest history.
Dr. Church, in addition to his Phi. D.
work at Cornell, has travelled widely
in European countries and is espec-
tally well qualified to teach European
history.
In the social sciences the fresh
man classes will be under direct in
struction of Professor Harrison c.
Dale, head of the department of eco
nomics and political science.
Every freshman is required to take
some science course. Here again he
will meet an array of instructors, all
of whom are pOSSeSSOrS OF Pm ID. de-
grees and many of whom are heads
of their respective departments. DR..
c. L. Won Ende, instructor in fresh
man chemistry, is head of the de-
partment. Dean M. F. Angel, head OF
the department. instructs freshman
physics classes; DR.. F. w. Gail con-
ducts freshman classes in botany; DR..
w NJ Gibbs, head of the bacteriolog-
ical department has charge of fresh
men in that department; DR.. j. q.
Wodsedalek instrpcts first year stud
ents in zoology.
In agriculture the first year stud
ent will take up the studies Of ag-
ronomy and animal husbandry. Prof
essor H. W. Hubert, who has his M.
S. from the Iowa State college OF ag-
riculture, teaches freshman agroncmy.
Freshman animal husbandry work
will be in the hands of Professor j.
E. Nordby, who is University of Ida
ho graduate and holds an M. s. degree
in animal husbandry from the UNI
versity of Illinois.
The size of the University of Idaho,
says President Upham, enables the
first year student to receive the most
capable instruction available.
