BISSELL. head of the engineering department at Michigan State college, since 1907. is leave reported leaving for California with an official of absence inside of his coat. This is not a new procedure on the p a rt of Dean Bissell. He has stepped out numerous times and seen pretty much all the known world and engineering contraptions there is to see on other leaves of absence. But, somehow, this time after having answered the pedagogues equivalent of an alarm clock for 41 years there is a suspicion t h at the dean is calling it a job. t h at is in his mind certainly If this community has no intention of permitting him to take the train without having heard Lansing's word of apprecia tion and esteem. Dean Bissell has been a teacher all his active days. He was three years at Cornell university, after being graduated there, he was 16'years at Iowa State college a nd now he has been 22 years at State. To have held only three jobs in one's active days is some record. Who c an calculate w h at a teacher is able to do in 41 years of service? W ho can count in motion? Since Dean George W. Bissell h as been head of the engin eering department at the college the engineering school h as t h at he has set the myraid influences progressed greatly. How many young men have come to the school a nd have gone from it into the engineering world, carrying t he inspiration and the knowledge received there, cannot be stated in exact engineering terms. For engineer ing, no less t h an other lines of knowledge and endeavor, h as its intangibles, its subtle influences bearing on life. Engineers have what they t e rm the factor of safety. In personality t h at might be likened to reserve. Dean Bissell has always impressed those around him as a m an of plenty reserve. He h as not been accustomed to tell all be knows, and lay bare the full measure of his ability on first acquaint ance. Not with h u r r ah a nd vain protestations, but with quiet, steady dignity the dean has served in the college and in the community. In the community he h as built a n a me t h at is widely known a nd widely respected. The other day an appreciative goodbye was said to I. J. Reuter, called from one of Lansing's great plants to the field of international business. The college dean a nd t he m a n u facturer have performed in vastly different fields, but there is just as much reason, though in a different way, why a community should think together in an appreciative way of a teacher as of a manufacturer. T he State J o u r n al thinks it expresses appreciation for a wide public, in city a nd state, when it offers these few lines of appreciation to Dean Bissell.
