Rhode Island

Dean M. H. CAMPBELL of the University of Rhode Island College of Agriculture retires June 30. Guiding with a friendly, firm hand he has been Dean of the College and Director of the Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station since 1942.

Informing his faculty of his decision, Dean Campbell said, "More than 40 years have passed since I entered upon my academic career. I have thought for some time that the completion of those 40 years would be an appropriate time to retire.

"That should have been last year, but I had one ambition which I had not fulfilled. This was to see my faculty furnished facilities in keeping with the outstanding quality of work which it has performed. These facilities are now assured with the completion of the new agricultural building."

F. H. HORN, University president, said, "We are indeed sorry that we shall lose Dean Campbell, for in the 17 years that he has been in charge of the university's agricultural services, notable gains have been made in both academic and research programs ... he has built a fine organization, strengthened the various departments in the college of agriculture, expanded research programs of the experiment station, and has worked closely with the state agricultural extension service to integrate the station work with the practices of agriculture in Rhode Island.
