The 63-year-old dean has been responsible for building the School of Engineering and Architecture into the University's second largest school.
After nearly ten years as dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture at the University, T. De-Witt Carr will resign July 1, 1957.
To Remain in Lawrence The dean said he would continue his long interest in education and would "give special attention to the development of research." He will remain in Lawrence and continue as a member of the board of directors of the University Research Foundation.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy expressed the growth of the school as being "phenomenal." Dr. Murphy had only praise for Dean Carr's work when he made the announcement of the resignation in July.

Included in the growth of the engineering school under his direction is the increase of engineering scholarships and fellowships from none in 1947 to 62 in 1956. He is also given major credit, Dr. Murphy said, for es-

5 Departments Change Offices
Five departments of the University are moving or have moved to new locations on the campus. The offices of the department of Romance languages have been moved from the first floor of Strong Hall to the rooms in Fraser Hall formerly occupied by the School of Education. The vacant space in Strong Hall will be used for classrooms.
The Germanic and Slavic languages and Romance languages departments will move their sound laboratories to Blake Annex A as soon as the remodeling is completed. It is hoped that the work will be finished by the middle of the first semester. The Germanic and Slavic languages sound lab is now located in the south tower of Fraser Hall, and Romance languages sound lab is in Strong Annex F. The space in Strong F will be used for office space.
The German classrooms in Fraser Hall will be subdivided and additional German classrooms will be provided in the basement of the building.

Workmen, in the process of reroofing the building, are removing several obsolete, leaky skylights and providing additional ventilation for the building. Minor alterations, such as the elimination of some dormers, will give more laboratory space in the electrical engineering section of the building. The attic, formerly unusable because of the low ceiling, will not be converted into several small laboratories.
The new roof will be metal with wood decking underneath. The B. A. Green Construction Company of Lawrence has the $29,931 contract for the work.
