■ Jm Wiiiiam Loa-e Brya?i Presldenl of Indiana ink-ersily The Mission of the University Scholars are willing to work with endless patience at every conceivable scientific task. The wonder is that the hard-headed twentieth century does NOT deride them but accepts them, pays for them, rejoices in them, and that for a very good reason. The reason is that these far away studies do not remain far away. They fall together, and often in simple ways. They answer for us questions as old and as deep as human curiosity. They sponge out our myths, and give us instead a view of things more wonderful than any myth, which stands fast in the daylight. They give us sight of the world, and of life, and of humanity, in process of creation, and they teach us how to see these always more deeply and more truly. — WiLi,iAM Lowe Bryan. iiri

If. f i;. r Preside,, of the Board of Trustees To have been a student at Indiana university at any time In its history has been a high privilege, but to be a student here now with its history and traditions of a hundred years as a common heritage is a far greater privilege. Indiana university has grown. It is an asset of the state, not a liability. It is giving not- able service through its various schools and departments in its hospitals and in special fields of social work, reaching into every county in the state. It is primarily an Indiana institution and is returning to the state much more than the state is putting into it. An enthusiastic and earnest student body, an interested and loyal alumni, unmistakable evidence of increasing public confide the work of the Universitv, rant the prediction that India to the people of the sta I ' ersity will give even more-important and tar-rcaching service than ever --|.

o4 Pbuiiils Deans of AL The office of dean of men was first established at Indiana uni ersity in 1919. The function of this office is to promote the scholastic, moral, and social welfare of our students. This is done chiefly through personal conferences with the students and through conferences and correspondence with parents. Through co-operation with many agencies the ofHce of dean of men has assisted in developing a system of making appointments to prominent offices by student- faculty committees, such as Arbutus editor, athletic man- agers, dramatic directors, etc.; eliminating hazing; sys- tematic inspection of men ' s li ' ing quarters; reducing the dangers in class scraps; administration of student loan funds; building of the men ' s ciormitory and plan- ning for construction of further units; administration tutoring of delinquent students; protection of the student body through listing of suitable rooming places for men, and enforcement of schol- — C. E. Edmondson. What is to be thought of the deans of men? The deans hope that the thought of them may be as kindly as the best good will on their part merits. To the deans of men, the least of their work is what must be done by way of discipline. To them, the University is not a penal institution, but a place where youth and age co-operate, by means of natural contacts, to help the ad ' enturousness of youth to find humanely serious aim and purpose. If the) ' can aid even a little toward that, they have faith that thought of them will be as kindly as they most sincerely wish it to be. C. y. SeM BOWER.
