Academic

The Vice-President for Academic Affairs was particularly pleased to
recommend the appointment of R. Keith Arnold as Professor of Natural
Resources and Dean of the School of Natural Resources. The VicePresident said Dr. Arnold had come to the University from California in
1949 and had earned the Ph.D. degree in forestry the following year.
After serving as Research Project Leader for the Forest Service until
1953, he had become an assistant professor at California. In 1954-55 he
had been general manager of "Operation Firestop," a co-operative
project of several California universities and forestry agencies. In 1955
he had given his full time to the U. S. Forest Service and had served
successively as Chief of the Division of Forest Fire Research, Director
of the California Forest and Range Experiment Station, and Director of
the Division of Forest Protection Research in Washington, D.C.
Continuing, the Vice-President said, "Dr. Arnold's broad experience
in teaching and research and his wide-ranging interests in the whole field
of natural resources thoroughly qualify him for the leadership of the
University's School of Natural Resources. Under his leadership it is
expected that the School will continue to maintain its position of national leadership in curriculum development and in bringing together the
diverse disciplines required for attacking the problems related to the
development, utilization, and conservation of natural resources."
