.4tJ XK27 EmajXMMHSX DR. LUCIUS C. CLARK An executive is the concretion of experience and wisdom joined with initiative and the ability to command the con- fidence of associates. Someone discovered in Dr. Lucius C. Clark sufficient of this combination to propose him for the Chancellorship of American University at the point of su- preme opportunity in its develoimient. Dr. Clark ' s selection has been justified by the creation of the College of Liberal Arts; the expansion and the elevation in standards of the Graduate School and the School of Political Sciences; and the ranging about him of a board of finance which is working successfully for a gi-eat endowment. Chancellor Clark has a vision for American University which embodies the highest academic standards and the finest development of manhood and womanhood. DR. GEORGE B. WOODS When he assumed the task of forming a body of students into an academic unit — the creation of a College of Liberal Art.s — Dr. George B. Woods undertook no light task. The rapidity and ease with which it has been accomplished, how- ever, is a tribute to Dean Woods ' s ability to attain the high ideal he has set before him. The skill of administration and courage of initiative shown in all the policies of Dean Woods have forwarded an almost phenomenal growth in the College of Liberal Arts, while the academic standing of the college as well as its pivotal position in the scheme of American University, testify to wise and vigorous direction. Dean Woods ' s every relation with the student body has proved him reliable in counsel and ready in the encourage- ment of .-itudent enterprise. Despite his many duties, he nevei- has been known to turn away any student with a leal need for his advice or assistance. MISS MARY LOUISE BROWIN By reason of her high ideals for womanhood, and her breadth of understanding in coping with the many and varied problems proposed to her. Miss Mary Louise Brown, Dean of Women, is not only an executive jiower on the camjjus, but a real friend to any student with a difficulty or a need. Her devotion to the best for American University is shown not only in the academic standards evident in her classroom, but in the spiritual and social life of the Women ' s Residence Hall. Dean Brown has been in constant association with girls for several years, and this contact has given her a wealth of ideas and plans which she uses to make life interesting and pleasant for the women students. The love cherished for her in the hearts of her girls is the best proof of her great worth. yr
