Dr. Charles L. Leinweber, an
A&M graduate, is the new head
of the Department of Range and
Forestry.
He took over his new duties on

iology was the major study field

Outstanding Scientist
Leinweber’s appointment was
announced by Dr. R. E. Patterson,

“We consider Dr. Leinweber an
outstanding agricultural scientist,
He will be a real asset to the agri
cultural programs of A&M in pro
viding leadership in research and
education in the important field
of range management,” Patterson
said.
“His background of training and
experience fits him well into the
position which he will occupy in
developing further services to Tex
as farmers and ranchers.”
