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
