Show (f^VR. NEFF, Professor of American and Andrew Love Neff I Andrew Affleck Kerr Latin American History, has devoted the greater part of his time to research in the history and records of Utah. This work has already been formed into two books, 'The Mormon Migration to Utah," and a "History of Utah," while a third, "Utah in the World War," is in preparation. At the present time he is forming a new club, the purpose being to bring earnest students together with some of the faculty members to discuss sciences and fields. Professor Neff studied at Stanford and Chicago Universities, and took out his Ph. D. at the University of California. , 'N the spring of 1925 the Department of Archaeology was broadened into the Department of Anthropology, with Professor Kerr, a trained anthropologist, in charge. Dr. Kerr was a professor at Harvard, where he received his Ph. D., before coming to Utah. He has been a member of archaeological expeditions to all parts of the United States, particularly in the Southwest, to Mexico, and to Europe, spending three years on this continent. Utah is most indebted to professor Kerr for the fine museum, containing archaeological specimens from all parts of the world, which he, as Director of summer field work, has collected. R. THOMAS, Professor of Political Science and of Oriental Life and Culture, and formerly Professor of Ancient Languages and of Mathematics, is today recognized as the highest authority in the West on the Orient, having spent five years in Japan and Korea, where he taught in the higher schools. While in Japan Dr. Thomas wrote numerous magazine articles and was associated in the translation of six books in Japanese. Amoung the original works of Dr. Thomas are "The ion of Buddhism into China," "The Roman House," "Early Chinese Politi-*ht," and the "Vision of Mingti, Some Comparison of Religious Thought" J^nHE head of the Department of Western V-^ History, Professor Young, has done more than any one man to make the history of the West and of the State of Utah popular. Professor Young is the author of "The Founding of Utah," a history which was immediately acclaimed by Stewart Sherman in the "New York Herald-Tribune," William Allen White, John Masefield, and Sir Gilbert Parker, as one of the best histories of the decade. Professor Young has contributed much in the way of original research, studying from old documents at Canadian Universities, and recently tracing the explorations of Escalante in the Southwest. © .•:^£?» Elbert Duncan Thomas Introduct cal Thou jl" • '•¦•:' Vi x£&0ta£2 Levi Edgar Young TJ, U»HHHHIJiJNMM»iiLillUqfflgirJ'J»»»»iJ»J»utJtinra: [42] |
