FORMER LIT DEAN:
Prof. E.H. Kraus Continues
Brilliant Scientific Career
By PAUL SISLIN
only part of an academic and sci-
entific career extending nearly half
a century was brought to a close at
the end of last term when Prof.
Edward H. Kraus retired from his
position as dean of the College of
Literature, Science and the Arts.
Although an academic career be-
gun in 1896 was closed With Dr.
Kraus' retirement, today the former
Literary College dean still retains his
office in the Natural Science Build-
ing where he is continuing research
in the fields of crystallography and
mineralogy.
More than 40 years a member of
the University faculty, Dr. Kraus
today is concentrating on his "min-
eralogical pursuits" which took
second place when academic duties
became too pressing.
During his "first extended vaca-
tion" since joining the University
faculty, Dr. Kraus will undertake
some of the projects he has con-
sidered during his long years as an
investigator in the fields of mineral-
ogy and crystallography.
"Now that I am no longer bur-
dened with administrative work I
would like to continue research on
the hardness of the diamond," he
reveale.
In his 40 years on the Michigan
campus, Dr. Kraus has seen some
sweeping changes in the scientific
facilities here.
"When I first arrived," he said,
"the Department of Mineralogy was
in the basement of Tappan Hall,

Japs Try Escape fron
Central Burma Battle
CACUTTA, March 24.-(I)-Pitch-
ed battles between hard-driving Brit-
ish armor and Japanese troops cau-
ght in the Myingyan-Meiktila-Man-
dalay triangle were reported today
as the enemy fought to escape from
central Burma.
the Department of Geology was in
what is now the Romance Lang-
uage Building. Botany, zoology
and forestry were located in South
Wing.
"The Chemistry Building was not
constructed until 1909," he added,
"and the department was housed
where, economics and pharmacology
are now taught."
However, changes in the student
body weren't so sweeping, he revealed.
Dr. Kraus became dean of the Lit-
erary College in 1933, "when we were
still knee deep in the depression.
There were fewer students then and
when war broke out enrollment in
the University began to expand."
What changes has war made in
the average student?
"War has made students in gen-
eral more serious," he answered.
"Using the all-A records as an indi-
cation, despite decreased enrollment,
the all-A totals have shown a distinct
upward trend,
Marking systems have changed
too since I first came here," he

1. Murphy, recently returned from
Europe, disclosed that the Allied mili-
tary government in Germany "is en-
couraging the trade unions to organ-
ize again."
"The two most important aspects
of the long range treatment of Ger-
many," he declared, "are the re-
education of the Germans and the
reestablishment of the rights of lab-
or."
2. Hitler and other Axis leaders
will be punished for their war
crimes, as well as their henchmen
who actually carry out atrocities.
3. Germans will be punished for
crimes against their compatriots, in-
cluding German Jews and anti-Nazis.
4. No important Nazis have escap-
ed to neutral countries yet, so far as
the department knows, but it "is not
entirely satisfied" with assurances
from neutrals.
5. "It will be necessary to keep
Germany under control for a great
many years," Dunn declared but it
remains unclear how long actual
military occupation will be needed.
6. Dunn said "Austria wold not
be combined with Germany in any
way, within the forseeable future."
7. The Allies will have to super-
vise reeducation of Germany. "We'll
have to find or train Germans to do
the main job," Dunn said.

PROF. EDWARD KRAUS
. . . former dean
said. "In 1904 grades consisted of
'passed', 'not passed' or 'condi-
tioned'. The present system of
grading was introduced about 1912
to conform with systems else-
where., I've always considered the
marking system an incentive to
better scholarship," he added.
Dr. Kraus first came to the Uni-
versity in 1904 to become assistant
professor of mineralogy. His teach-
ing career began in 1896 at Syracuse
University where he received B.S.
and M.S. degrees in 1896 and 1897.
In 1901 Dr. Kraus received the de-
gree of Ph.D. at Munich. Syracuse
also awarded him two honorary de-
grees, Sc.D. in 1920 and LL.D. in
1934.
Appointment as dean of the Col-
lege of Pharmacy here in 1923 was
preceded by administrative experi-
ence as head of the summer session.
He left the College of Pharmacy in
1833, at the same time dropping
duties in the Summer Session, to
become head of the Literary College.
The author of about 75 papers on
crystallography and mineralogy, Dr.
Kraus has written either alone or
in collaboration with colleagues five
standard texts in the fields.
He was awarded the Roebling
Medal, highest mineralogical hon-
or, Feb. 20, at a meeting of the
Mineralogical Society of America,
in recognition for his meritorious
achievement in the field. Dr. Kraus
was one of a group of six men who
founded the Society in 1916 and
was the fifth recipient of the-medal
named for Col. W. A. Roebling,
outstanding mineralogist and buil-
der of the Brooklyn Bridge.
On May 17 Dr. Kraus will deliver
the annual Henry Russell Lecture,
an honor awarded for outstanding
work in research to University fac-
ulty members above the rank of
assistant professor.
