He was described as one whose “patriotic and unsel fish service to the public is of such marked significance that it is the source of pride to the present generation and will be an inspiration to the future generations.” Inventor of the Sloanograph, a device used to test the emotional' status of cocker spaniels, Dr. Sloan feels he is qualified to counsel stu dents on their simplest problems. Although he would try to the best of his ability to administrate A&M, Dr. Sloan said he must continue his present experiments if he is to fulfill the veterinarian’s oath. Auditory Psychosis “At this time I am in the midst of treating an English bhlldog for a severe case auditory psychosis (inability to endure his own bark ing) which can not be interrupted if the animal is ever to bark again.” Dr. Sloan said he heard several dogs bark about the couch in the president’s office on his last trip to College Station and felt certain it would serve his purposes. Although he still has his boots Dr. Sloan does not remember when he graduated fi-om A&M. He says he is “Old Army” all the way. He believes the change^ that have hurt the college most are doing away with the cavalry mounts and put ting the Agricultural Information Office in the old horse barns. Aft er receiving his MS and PhD de grees from the A&M Adjunct, Dr. Sloan traveled extensively in the African Veldt testing the reflexes of female lions.
