School maaw The PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Samuel Page Duke President MADISON COLLEGE On March 8, 1938, Governor James H. Price signed Senate Bill No. 14, which completed its pas- sage through the General Assembly on February I 7th. This bill provided that the State Teachers Colhge at Harrisonburg, Virginia, should, after June 21, I 938, be known as Madisoi College. This name was selected in boror of James Madison, the fourth president of the United States and a native of Virginia. James Madison was. his entire lifetime, a vigorous advocate of both popular education of the masses and of higher education of our leaders, both men and women. The educational philosophy of Madison may be summed up in this statement of his: A popular gov- ernment without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both.

Walter J. Gifford PH.D. Dean of the College Professor of Education A.B., Oberlin College A.M., Ph.D.. Columbia Universily Annie B. Cook A.M., B.S. Dean of Women B.S., State Teachers College, Hattiesburg A.M.. Teachers College, Columbia University The DEANS A smile, a briefcase, and a gingerly step — Dr. Gifford turns to the right to enter the door marked Dean. It is the beginning of the continual drive of another day filled to capacity with work. He knows many students. Besides conferences with those who have problems with their schedules, with adjustments, he teaches classes. In these classes, where the chairs will be found arranged informally in a semi-circle, he widens his acquaintance with individual girls. It is this sincere understanding of people, this boundless energy, this breadth of interests, this youthfulness, that have contributed to his success as Dean and professor. Mrs. Cook ' s office in Alumnae Hall remains open during the greater part of each day while she is occupied with her many responsibilities as advisor to the great army of boarding students. During this year, luncheons, dinners, receiving lines, have made enormous demands upon her as official hostess. Yet throughout it all she has met each occasion with equal freshness. Graciousness and the poise to meet any situation and handle it smoothly are a part of the regal charm of our Dean of Women. Thirty Light
