DEN! t gif' RQ, t ,4- DEAN OF THE COLLEGE DEAN C. l-IARVE GEIGER, Ph.D Deans are always interesting peopleg perhaps this is true because deans are al- ways interested in other people. Whatever the case may be, we may say that Dean Geiger, in his capacity, has made Coe an interesting institution. C. l-larve Geiger, Dean of the College, has served Coe for the past twelve years. His job is a difficult one. He must iron out all difficulties between students and facultyg he handles the curriculum and the administration of college courses and de- partmental work, and he promotes the educational progress of the entire school. Dean Geiger has always been concerned with the features of modern education, and has kept Coe College up-to-date in its educational developments. Coe college seeks a high level of excellence in the work of the individual stu- dent-his needs, interests and purposes-and the consequent direction of student effort and instructional emphasis toward the satisfaction of such individual needs on the highest possible level. Such an aim demands the careful guidance of adminis- trators who understand student life and their problems. Dean Geiger concentrates his efforts on young men and women, and helps them in preparing for an effective participation in our own society. Page 19
