C. B. Godbey
. . . genetics head retires
work in statistics and biometry
which has achieved steadily in
creasing note in the eyes of his
professional colleagues throughout
the world.
Watkins described Godbey as “a
noble man who has been a great
teacher, an intelligent counselor
and an effective builder.”
Godbey was born in 1895 in
Kentucky and received his bach
elor of science degree in 1926 at
the University of Kentucky. He
earned his master of science de
gree in 1926 at A&M and did fur
ther graduate work at Iowa State
University.
The geneticist is a past winner
of a Faculty Distinguished
Achievement Award. In 1949 he
was named Man of the Year by
the City of College Station.
He is a member of the Amer
ican Association for the Advance
ment of Science, Poultry Science
Society, American Society of Ag
ronomy, American Statistical As
sociation-Biometrical Section, Al
pha Zeta, Phi Kappa Phi and Sig
ma Xi.
Godbey says his “retirement”
will consist of a little farming,
cattle raising and plenty of yard
work. He also plans to catch up
on hunting, fishing and traveling.
He and his wife live at 210 Lee
Street in College Station.
Physics Wing
Ready For Use
In November
(Editor’s Note: This is the sec
ond in a series of articles on new
buildings constructed or under
construction on campus.)
The new $450,000 addition to
the Physics Building is rapidly
nearing completion and should be
ready for occupation in November,
according to Dr. James Potter,
head of the Department of Physic^.
The addition, which was started
last October, will house two large
lecture rooms, four average-size
classrooms, eleven large labora
tories, ten offices and five labora
tory-office combinations. Potter
added.
It is the same size as the first
wing of the building, built in 1921.
The second wing, constructed on
the south side, was occupied in
1952.
Except for one large lecture
room and one laboratory, the new
addition will be used exclusively
for graduate study and research,
Potter said.
The graduate work will include
every program offered by the De
partment of Physics except those
conducted at the special research
site west of the railroad tracks.
The two older wings will be
used primarily for undergraduates,
Potter added. •
The new addition was built to
easily accommodate 60 full-time
graduate students.

$17,600 Grant Given College For Research On Frog Life
The National Science Foundation
has approved a special $17,600
grant to A&M for studies on the
cranial anatomy of frogs belong
ing to the family “Leptodactyli-
dae.”
Dr. Richard J. Baldauf, associate
professor in the Department of
Wildlife Management, is chief in
vestigator on the project.
In the past, evolution ^of frogs
has been a subject of interest and
investigation for many students of
herpetology, zoogeography, morph
ology and genetics.
“This is particularly important
because the amphibians have
served as the evolutionary ‘step
ping stones’ from water to land
in the development of air-breath
ing animals,” Baldauf said.
“Ideas on the evolution of frogs
are far from complete and are de
pendent on new approaches in re-

search. Studies of the morphology
of the frogs have been almost
wholly neglected in the United
States since the tux*n of the cen
tury, and detailed research into
the carnial morphology of these
animals is virtually untouched.”
In 1959, Baldauf completed a
five-year study of the cranial an
atomy of toads which revealed for
the first time that the toads are
separable and distinguishable as
two distinct groups.
Studies of cranial morphology
by Baldauf represent th<p first of
such detailed research to be ac
complished in the U.S. He has
published five papers on the sub
ject and is currently preparing
other manuscripts.
