Dr. Chambers
To Retire as
School Dean
20 Candidates Apply
For Athletic 'Post,
Dean's Position
Hailow IntervieWed _
At NCAA Convention
Under the provisions of the Retire
ment Act which went into effect re
cently Dean Will G. Chambers, for
fourteen' years head of the school of
education, will be automatically re
tired at the end of the 1937 Summer
Session President • Ralph ,D.
announced today.
At the same time the President
said that no decision has been ar
rived at concerning either the suc
cessor to Dean Chambers or the new
head of the School of Physical Edu
cation and Athletics.
. .
About twenty candidates . for each
of these positions have been inter
viewed in the past two months and
the field has now been narrowed down
to about half a trozen. President Het
zel was unable to say when a defin
ite decision would , be reached but it
seems likely that he will try to have
at least one - recommendation ready
when'the Board of
. Trustees holds its
annual meeting Saturday, January 15
in Harrisburg.
The President was in New York
for two days last week while the an
tercollegiate 'Athietie:AtiSociation was
in session and he interviewed a nein
her of nice there. Among them was
"Dick" HarloW,. for Mer football
coach here - and at present head coach
at Harvard.' •
As 'a result the rumor spread that
. Harlow might come here as"head of
the School of Physical Education and
Athletics. President Hetzel declined
to comment on this story except to
say that 'Harlow was qualified for
the job and therefore had been inter
viewed. Unless he is dissatisfied there
it seems railer ,doubtful at Harvard
if he will come here as an adminis
trator.
When Hugo 4ezdek was relie'ved of
his duties last fall the Trustees re
commended that his successor be cho
sen on ability as 'an executive and
administrator rather than on coaching
ability. , While this' recommendation
will be followed there will be an at
tempt 'made - to get,a man who is ex
perienced in both 'fields.
Will Grant Chambers; dean of the
School of Education since 1923 and
director of the Summer Session since
1921, has been in the front rank of
professional' educators for a quarter
'of a century.
Dean Chambers established the
School of Education at the University
of PittsburOh in 1910 and served as
its dean for ten years. Ile. was in
strumental in the formation of the
School of Education here, and he
served as its dean Since its founding.
He served as president of the Child
Study Department of the National
Education Association in 1909 and of
the Society of College Teachers of
Education in'l9l6. He was director of
the Bureau of Education in Pitts
burgh, director of the Army and
Navy Training Camp Activities in
Hawaii during the war, and presi
dent of the Pennsylvania State Edu
cation. in 1920.
Dean Chambers was a member of
many educational honorary fraterni
ties' and socieities. He taught in sev
'end institutions throughout the
country and has had several articles
in various magazines.

Social Security
Law Asks Taxes
Of Fraternities
Edwards Explains New
Act To Officials
Of Houses
Speaker Suggests* Low
Uniform Monthly Wage
At an open forum meeting of the
Association of Fraternity Counselors
held in room 110; Home. Economics
building, at 7:30 Tuesday night, Rob
ert Y. Edwards led the discussion and
explained that local social fraterni
ties are required to pay the new fed
eral and state social security taxes.
Pending decision as to the constitu
tionality of the act, Mr. Edwards
suggested that the fraternities pay
the tax under protest. If this proce
dure is observed, the fraternities will
have a better chance to recover the
money they have already paid in if
the Supreme Court hands down an
opinion adverse to the •act.
All employees of social fraternities,
cooks, mahls, dishwashers, waiters,
furnace tenders, house treasurers; ca
terers and managers who receive'
board or room for services will have '
one per cent deducted from their
monthly_ wage. Those houses employ
ing more than eight people will be
forced to pay to the federal govern-I
ment one-tenth of one per cent on the
wages of all employees in addition to
nine-tenth of one per cent which the
state collects. Those with less than
eight
. employees will be exempt from
the federal, but net the State exicse
•
_Edwards '
. fter'.'explaining the -pro-
Visions of the act; pointed Mit - that
the taxes would make fraternity
book-keeping more complicated. An
objection was raised when it was
learned the fraternity accounts 'would
be subject to. inspection by state and
federal investigators.
A low cash value of the remu
neration received by employees. was
favored. Edwards suggested $l5 per
month since the tax rate works on a
steadily grauated 'scale and the bur
den in future. years will slowly in
crease. Another meeting will be held
in the near-future to make clear any
additional complications. •

Hetzel Releases Plans
For Research Revival
The division of industrial research
in the School of Chemistry and Phys
ics, inactive since 7929, will again be
revived, Dr. Ralph D. Tided!, presi
dent of the College, has announced,
with the authorization of the board
of trustees. Dr. Merrell R. Fetish.,
of the department of chemistry, has
been chosen to bead the division.
The division will conduct research
in various fields under co-operative
agreements between the College and
industrial groups in the state, such
work having increased considerably
during the past few years.
"It is not. planned to make any
sudden expansion of existing eo-opet-,
ative projects," Dr. Prank C. Whit
more, dean of the School of Chemis
try and Physics, reported to the trus
tees in recommending the revival of
the division. "Such an expansion
would. be impossible in view of the
limited physical facilities and the in
crease in student enrollment in chem
istry and chemical engineering.
