DEAN KATE HEVNER MUELLER Mrs. Kate Hevner Mueller, who was appointed this year as Dean of Women, has the duty of looking after the interests of more than 1,500 young women. Mrs. Mueller is capable of answering the questions that puzzle college women and prob- lems that confront the coeds at Indiana University, for her own college days at Wilson College and at Columbia University are still in the not-so-distant past. As a former instructor and assistant professor of psychology, her experience and training have served well to make her a competent person for the position. With the tact, the warm understanding, and the willing- ness to counsel and advise which her office requires. Dean Mueller has won alread) ' the confidence, respect, and friendship of the women students of Indiana University. MRS. LOTTIE KIRRY Mrs. Lottie Kirby, Associate Dean of Wom- en, during the short time she has served in this capacity, has endeared herself to coeds of the University by her understanding of their prob- lems. In the Dean ' s office she performs the function of smoothing over problems that arise in and among sororities; but more than that, she has served as a personal adviser because of her interest in young women as individuals. Her understanding of young people may be based on the fact that she has three children of her own, all graduates of Indiana Uni- versity. Mrs. Kirby has served in official positions in the University for a number of years, as chief clerk to the Registrar, as secretary to the President, and now as Associate Dean of Women of the school from which she was graduated.

WARD G. BIDDLE, COMPTROLLER A Worthy Guardian of the Trust Which Is His Comptroller since 1936, Ward G. Biddle, ' 16, typifies the loyalty, democratic service, and unceasing effort of the new administration in promoting the best interests of Indiana Uni- versity. Master financial mind of the University, friend of the stu- dents, counselor to the faculty, and universal friend of alumni, Mr. Biddle was cited in 1939 for outstanding service to his alma mater. Long hours of work and pains-taking attention to details have brought him the respect and confidence of all friends of the University. First as Manager of the University Bookstore from 1923 until 1932, then as Director of the Indiana Union until 1936, and now as Comptroller, his first thought ever has been of Indiana University. Its progress is his greatest satis- faction, its growth his chief pride, and its well-being his ever- present concern. 16
