He is Asst. Prof. John F. Griffiths whose hours are spent in teaching meteorology and doing varied research into climate. The London - born meteorologist who came here two years ago con tinues as a hobby his longtime serv ice as historian of the Kent Coun ty Cricket Club. He also has a key role in the successful A&M Cricket Club. Newly published is “The History of Kent Cricket, 1946-1963.” Grif fiths already has a good start on a special volume to be published in 1969, the centennial of the Kent club. This book will be the size of a desk dictionary while the shorter history has 70 pages. Griffiths is a cricket fan in the way an American can recite the statistics of his favorite football team or baseball club. Much of his book is devoted to statistics. ★ ★ ★ Neil H. Anderson has been hired as the new forest entomo logist by A&M. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in forestry and a Master of Sci- |ence degree in entomology from Clemson College. Dr. J. C.

Harris said Holcomb will speak at 3:30 p.m. This meeting is part of an in-service educational pro gram planned by teachers of the district. Prof To End A&M Career Of 50 Years Charles W. Crawford ,professor of mechanical engineering here could well be described as a man who came for breakfast and stay ed around for a midnight snack. A native of Brazos County, Crawford joined the A&M facul ty in 1919 as an instructor in mechanical engineering. He in tended to stay only a couple of years to help his family living in Bryan. Crawford had worked for sev eral months as a surveyor for the City of Port Arthur when E. J. Fermier offered him $112.50 a month at A&M. He took it with the aim of returning to industry shortly. Now, 45 years later, Crawford is in the midst of his 46th year here. He became head of the mechanical engineering depart ment in 1929, the same year he earned a Masters degree. He held that post for 28 years be fore coming associate dean of engineering. In 1962 he returned to the mechanical engineering de partment as professor. Counting four years as a stu dent, Crawford will wind up half- a-century with A&M next June. He plans to retire at that time. Travel, civic and church work and “a little fishing” are on his agen da for the future. He is im mediate past president of the Bryan Rotary Club. Crawford was a member of the A&M Athletic Council for 10 years in the late 30s and early 40s. He was chairman of the council for two years. His sister, now Mrs. L. B. Locke, is the only woman who has ever received a bachelor of science degree from A&M. She earned the degree in libral arts in 1925, having been allowed to enroll because her brother was a faculty member. His special interest in students helped him win the $1,000 Con- vair Award last year for out standing contributions to teaching engineering. “Students have never hesitated to come to me when they needed help,” he said. “I think it’s good for morale when an instructor can help a man with a problem. It saves the student a lot of valuable time and makes him feel somebody cares.” Crawford favors large classes to conserve finances and aid stu dents. “In the early days, we had sections with 14 students,” he pointed out. “The workload has increased through the years. Last year, for instance, I had 85 stu dents in one section.” Crawford estimates that he has taught from 12,000 to 15,000 stu dents. He has watched A&M grow from 1,200 students in 1915 to 8,200 at present.
