Dr. Hopkin receives
Stiles Professorship
The Board of Directors has ap
proved appointment of Dr. John
A. Hopkin of the University of
Illinois as Stiles Professor of
Agriculture.
The chair was established by
the Stiles Farm Foundation Board
from income derived from the
Stiles Farm near Thrall in Wil
liamson County.
A non-profit, self-supporting
institution, the foundation was
bequested by the late J. V. and
H. A. Stiles for the advancement
of agriculture in Texas. The
Board of Directors accepted the
trusteeship of the foundation as
requested in the Stiles brothers’
will in 1961.
Dr. H. 0. Kunkel, dean of the
College of Agriculture, said Hop-
kin’s appointment is effective
Aug. 16.
Hopkin is now professor of
agricultural finance at the Uni
versity of Illinois and director of
the Agricultural Finance Pro
gram in the College of Agricul
ture.
Kunkel said the professor’s
main responsibility as Stiles
Professor will be to organize a
group of specialists into a
strong, integrated team to build
agricultural finance programs in
resident and Extension teaching
and in research.
The dean described Hopkin as
“a highly talented and accom
plished individual in agricultural
finance.”
Hopkin spent 12 years with the
Bank of America in San Fran
cisco. His positions there were
agricultural economist, chief of
the Agricultural and Commodity
Research Section, and vice presi
dent of agribusiness.
As agribusiness vice president,
his responsibilities involved more
than $1 billion in loans each year.

joint meeting with the Univer
sity of Texas System Board of
Regents. The bonds were sold to
Harris Trust & Savings Bank of
Chicago at an effective interest
rate of 6.0109 percent. Six bids
were submitted.
In other action, the board ap
propriated $2,500 for a program
of requirements for a new class
room building at Tarleton State
College in Stephenville.
The new oceanography-meteor
ology facility, scheduled for com
pletion in September, 1972, will
be one of the tallest buildings
between Dallas and Houston, uni
versity officials noted. It will be
topped by a weather observatory
and large radar installation with
a 400-m.Ue range. The top of the
radar will be 222 feet above
ground with extending lightning
arrestors.
The building will include more
research laboratories than found
in many entire colleges.
It will have 121 labs, notes Dr.
Vance Moyer, Meteorology De
partment head who has served
as planning coordinator for the
project the past three years.
“We expect this new facility to
be the finest geosciences building
in the nation for at least the next
decade,” observes Dr. Moyer.
During the early planning
stages, Moyer and other univer
sity officials visited numerous in
stallations throughout the coun
try for background information
in determining design require
ments.
One of the unique features of
the building will be a 50-ton
water tank used in studies in
volving air-sea interaction.
Highly specialized laboratories
will be devoted to research in
such fields as ocean dynamics,
remote sensing, spacecraft ocean
ography, hydrodynamics, acous
tics, cloud physics, air pollution
meteorology, satellite meteorolo
gy, laser radar, microwave and
infrared radiation.
The new structural-steel build
ing will be one of the campus’
most “public” facilities, Dr. Moy
er points out. Visitors will be
able to view meteorological in-
