Malott's Resignation Is Regretted By Deans
The deans of the various schools of the University have made the following comments concerning Chancellor Malott's resignation:
Statement by Frank T. Stockton, Dean of University Extension
Statement by Frank T. Stockton, Dean of University Extension: "Chancellor Malott has a very comprehensive understanding of adult education needs of the state and functions of the University at large. The operation of Extension under Chancellor Malott has received strong support from him. He has done a very fine job and I regret very much to see him go."
Statement by Leonard H. Axe, dean of the School of Business:
"I regret that Chancellor Malott is not going to remain at K.U., but I am pleased that the educational world will continue to receive the benefits of his leadership. Cornell is indeed fortunate in its selection. One can not have been associated with Chancellor Malott for so many years, three of them as his assistant, without having great respect for his ability as an educator and administrator."
Statement by George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education:
"I know I speak for the school men and women of the state of Kansas as well as for the staff of the School of Education when I express our appreciation for the constant support given to our combined efforts to improve the training of school personnel both within the University programs and the state itself. The Chancellor's support, understanding, and interest in problems of education has been a strong motivating force in the Mid-West area. We all feel a great loss in the Chancellor's departure, but he is leaving us with the sincere appreciation, respect, and admiration of the entire staff of the School of Education."
Statement by John H. Nelson, dean of the Graduate School:
"Rather than bemoan the loss of Chancellor Malott to Cornell we should appreciate our own good fortune in having him here during the past difficult decade. He leaves the University stronger in every way—economically, educationally, in the morale of its faculties—than when he arrived."
Statement by Frederick J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law:
"Chancellor Malott's dynamic personality has been a constant force in urging us all onward. He made significant decisions promptly. There were many of these because his admiration had to have great flexibility to adjust it to the rapidly changing economic and military needs with their resulting demands on educational institutions throughout his stay with us. These adjustments were made at the University with a maximum of effectiveness. He has improved the University by insisting that only the ablest of men should be called here. His annual reports to the alumni will be remembered as indicative of the life of the University. I wish him continued success in his new venture."
Statement of T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture;
No words will express our sincere regret over the pending departure of Chancellor Malott from the University of Kansas. No chancellor could have accomplished more or made more sacrifices for his University and state.
"All hands in the School of Engineering and Architecture join in wishing Chancellor Malott every success."
Statement by Dean Burton W. Marvin, William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information:
Statement by J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy:
"Over the nation Chancellor Malott has become a symbol of the University of Kansas. Those of us who are new at K.U. saw, long before coming here, what he was doing to carry on the great traditions and programs and to build new ones. Naturally, he will be sorely missed, but I am sure that his drive, enthusiasm and vision will live on in very tangible form down through the years at K.U."
"Chancellor Malott has had an unusual understanding of professional as well as a general education and has cooperated with the School of Pharmacy and the pharmacists of the state in a splendid manner. It has been possible through his efforts to initiate the strongest research program ever attempted by the School of Pharmacy. Chancellor Malott's dynamic leadership and quick decisions of a proper nature have been invaluable to our program at the University and throughout the state."
Statement by Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College:
"I do not know of a single person in the State of Kansas who will not regret the resignation of Chancellor Malet. His great services to the state and to the University have been of such superb quality that I do not have words to describe them adequately. clothing I could say would be good enough.
"Our sense of loss is all the greater when we think of losing Iris. Malott who has daily worked far beyond the demands of mere duty. She has shown so many kindnesses, to both faculty and students, that we can never repay our indebentness to her. Her friendliness, and that of Chancellor Malott, will never be forgotten."
Statement by Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts:
"Chancellor Malott's vision, wisdom, and probity have guided the University of Kansas through a critical period of its growth. He has had a large share in placing it in the top rank of state universities. We sincerely regret his departure and shall miss his valued support of the fine arts on this campus, but welcome this opportunity to wish him a splendid success in his new position. Cornell university has chosen wisely, and has gained a brilliant, forceful administrator."

The Public's Pulse Western Civ
Dear Editor:
Upon entering the exam given last Saturday for the Western Civilization, the students were all counted by the three instructors in charge of the test. The tests were partly distributed, then taken up again when the instructors discovered that there were some latecomers. Then the carefully numbered tests were handed out in special order so none would be taken. The students were told to sit in the same seat for both sections of the test and to see that both sections of the tests had the same number.
These careful precautions were slightly ironical to anyone listening to the conversations during the intermission. One boy reported that he had carefully studied the last three tests and that this one was much harder. It must have been even more difficult for a student without available back tests. Surely the instructors know back tests are in the files of some of the organized houses together with other valuable materials. It seems only fair to make them available to all students on an equal basis. It is impossible to compete against those odds.
Mrs. Beverly Carson Education Senior
Basketball
Dear Editor:
What has happened to basketball? After seeing the grand melee against K-State in which the referees made practically no effort to keep the game under control I am sure many people who have seen competently officiated games are wondering the same question. Several years ago Ted O'Sullivan was dropped from the Big Six referee list because he was unpopular with fans and participants.
The reason, he called too many fouls. Last night the pendulum was at the other extreme. An extremely large percentage of the most flagrant fouls on both sides went uncalled. Now is the time to decide whether we are going to have basketball games or mob scenes. I say let us have more officials like Jim Enright. The only competent referee I have seen at K.U. in the past two seasons.
