2), ' ean 14 a 1 Wyiitt W.ilkci- Hale .icts as Dean and Registrar with a suavity whicli reflects his six years experi- ence at that post. He heads the premier fact-finding body of the campus. Dr. Hale, Griswold, Wilmorc, Lively, and company hoard more details than the World Almanac — including grade slips and addresses along with sundry facts good and bad for the student. And they work smoothly; students and faculty alike learn to ask the Registrar ' s Office. Dr. Hale has had a wide career of meeting people, from selling shoes before he entered college to his time spent in the graduate schools of Columbia and the University of Minnesota. This year on his sab- batical leave he rambled over half the United States inspecting other colleges and picking up ideas. Join- ing the college faculty in 1923, he took over his present position in 1934. Born in Gadsden thirty-nine years ago, he married Madelyn Thomas Hale, who is a nice person to know, too.
