trinity college ALAN K. MANCHESTER, Ph.D. Dean of Trinity College (I request) that great care and discrimination be exercised in admitting as students only those whose previous records show a character, determination, and application evincing a wholesome and real ambition for life. Such were the wishes of the University ' s founder. In order that these standards might be met, the administrative machinery of Trinity Col- lege, the heart of the University, was set up. Today those wishes of James B. Duke are still the goals of the men in Allen Building. E. B. Weatherspoon, as Director of Admissions for both Trinity College and the College of Engineering, each year initiates the creation of a new class of undergraduate men possessed of the required qualities of character, determination, and application. This year the Class of 1962, composed of 708 entering freshman men, was one of the largest which Duke University has had since World War II. Evidence of the ability of this group was indicated from Their college board tests and placemen I- tests results and from the fact that they were picked from the largest number of applicants in the history of the University. Geographically, they were a representative class: 52% came from the southeastern states, 30% from the Northeast, 4% from New England, 27% from the Southwest, 2.5% from the Far West, and 1.5% from foreign countries. Translating these statistics into different terms and including the fresh- man women, a survey showed that the Class of 1962 repre- sented 41 states, nine foreign countries, two U. S. territorial possessions (Hawaii and Puerto Rico), and the District of Columbia. Of those 708 freshmen who entered Tri nity College last fall, estimates show that 450, or approximately sixty per cent,

TUTHILL, Ed.D University Registrar BROWER, A.B. e University Within the ranks of the Administration, 1958-59 was a year of change. William Wannamaker, vice-chancellor of the University and one of its ablest leaders during the transition from Trinity College to Duke University, died on August 2, 1958. He v as one of the great planners. Several new faces make their appearance in this section this year. Among th em is Marcus Hobbs, new Dean of the University. Dean Hobbs obtained all three of his degrees from Duke and returned to his Alma Mater as an instructor in the Chemistry Department in 1935. Since that time he has held the position of Department Chair- man ( I 95 I -54) and, most recently, Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Another new face is that of Charles E. Ward, Dean of Undergraduate Studies. Dr. Ward is also a former Duke student, and having served as Chairman of the English Department prior to his new appointment, is no stranger to administrative duties within the University. John M. Dozier has for a number of years been familiar to students as Executive Sec- retary of the Scholarship Committee. In addition to his present office of Secretary, Mr. Dozier acts as Assistant Busines ' Manager of the University — a versatile record of service. CHARLES E. WARD.

trinity college HOWARD A. STROBEL, Ph.D. i nity College L BARNEY L. JONES, Ph.D. Assistant Dean of Trinity College CHARLES B. JOHNSON Ed.D. Assistant Dean of Trinity College will emerge as Duke graduates in June of 1962. To a great extent, the success of that sixty per cent in threading the obstacles of four years of college life rests with the men who will direct their progress — the deans of Trinity College. The record of each at- tests to his varied ability and experience. Alan Manchester, Dean of the College, has held that position for two years. In addition to his administrative duties in this area, he also serves as assistant to the Vice President in the Division of Education and as Profes- sor of History on the University faculty. Robert Cox ' s position as Dean of Men brings him into daily contact with students of both Trinity College and the College of Engineering. From a student point of view, perhaps Dean Cox ' s most important function is that of overseeing the social life of these Colleges. The three assistant deans of Trinity College all combine busy administrative schedules with teaching duties. Charles B. Johnson and Barney Jones, both Duke graduates them- selves, hold positions as Associate Professor of Education and Assistant Professor of Re- ligion respectively. Howard Strobel is an Associate Professor in the Chemistry Depart- ment. EVERETT B WEATHERSPOON, A.B. or of Admissions for Trinity College and the College of Engineering
