Graff, Hall — Two Deans Take Place Of On
Wayne C. Hall
dean of graduate studies
With the appointment of Dr. William John Graff Jr. as
dean of instruction in early August, both posts vacated by
the retirement of Dr. J. B. Page (former dean of the college
and graduate school) have been filled.
•Soon after Page’s retirement in June of 1960, the grad
uate school position was filled by Dr. Wayne C. Hall, then
head of the Department of Plant PaPthology.
The position of dean of ihstruction is a new one at A&M.
Actually, two men, Dean Hall and Dean Graff, are doing the
job formally administered by Page.
Graff, who says he plans to work closely with President
Rudder and the deans of the four schools, said of his new
duties: “Anything that pertains to academic excellance per
tains to this job.
“I hope to represent the views of the faculty to President
Rudder and represent the president to the faculty.’’
Graff, 38, graduated from A&M in 1945 with B. S. and
M. S. degrees in mechanical engineering. He received his
Ph. D. degree from Purdue University in 1951. He has
taught at A&M, Purdue and Southern Methodist University.
During World War II, Graff was a first lieutenant navi
gator and radar operator in the Air Force.
A registered professional engineer, Graff is the author
of several books on nuclear reactors and rockets and power
plant operation.
Graduate School Dean Hall came to A&M in .1949 from
the University of Kentucky. He joined the plant pathology
staff as an assistant professor, and became head of the de
partment and a full professor in 1958.
When Page left in 1960 to become dean of the graduate
college at Iowa State University, Hall succeeded him.
Hall, 42, was born in Montana and received his B. S. de
gree from the Iowa State University in 1941. He received
his M. S. degree in 1946, and his Ph. I), degree in 1948, both
from Iowa State.
During World War II, Hall served as a lieutenant with
the Navy in the Atlantic, European-African and Pacific
theaters. He hold the Purple Heart.
Hall is author or co-author of 75 scientific papers, re
views and laboratory manuals on plant physiology or bio
chemistry.

Tough Job Ahead For Four School Deans
The deans of A&M’s four
schools — Agriculture, Arts and
Sciences, Engineering and Veteri
nary Medicine — play an impor
tant role in the over-all operation
of the college. Daily the deans
must answer an avalanche of
questions ranging from “How
many hours must I take?” to
“What must I do to change my
major?”
But counseling with students is
only part of the dean’s job. He is
also responsible for each of the
departments and divisions within
his school, and the department
and division heads must answer
to him.
Helping each of the deans is an
assistant or associate dean. Both
the dean and his assistants are
here to help you. Drop by and
meet them—they are good men to
know.
