When

the College of Commerce was founded in 1925 he was appointed Dean,

work status.

During the period in which he was Dean he laid the foundation

for the development of the College of Commerce, which has grown

in numbers from 221 to 1025, the present enrollment.

Along with the

growth in size, his endeavors and policies brought recognition for

quality of work.

His planning for the College was always caiceived

in such manner as to provide for a strong cultural background for

the professional training in business.

He also offered to the other

colleges on the campus courses which would give a breadth of knowledge
in Economics and allied areas.

He will be remembered by the many students with whom he came

in contact for his kindly counsel and his interest in their welfare.
His faculty valued his friendship and respected his staunch character,
his sound scholarship, and his dependable policies.

Therefore, be it resolved that these resolutions be approved by

this Faculty as an expression of regard for Dr. Wiest; and be it
further resolved that they be spread upon the minutes of this Faculty
and those of the University Faculty and that a copy of them be sent

to his family and to the Board of Trustees of the University.
