our new dean of women by LUCYGNE CORNETT Who is the busiest woman on campus these days? It is undoubtedly our new dean of women, Dr. Emily Taylor. Dean Taylor has a sizable job to accomplish and in her typical capable way is doing it very well. Dr. Taylor hails from Degraff, Ohio, and was graduated from Ohio State University in 1937 after obtaining a teaching certificate from Urbana (Ohio) College in 1935. She taught in Ohio sec- ondary schools before returning to Ohio State to complete a master ' s degree in 1944. She then be- came Dean of Women at Northern Montana Col- lege, Havre, Montana, until she resigned for work on the doctor ' s degree she received at Indiana Uni- versity in 1955. For the past three years Miss Taylor has been an associate Dean of Women at Miami (Ohio) University. In addition to these positions, the dean has been active on the National Panhellenic Committee of the National Association of Deans of Women. In between her many obligations, such as meet- ing all the faculty, familiarizing herself with the campus, attending receptions, and disposing of the numerous details of her office. Dean Taylor still manages to read extensively and maintain some hobbies of her own. Our new dean is a strikingly attractive brunette whose intense eyes belie a subtle sense of humor. Her natural, friendly personality and her keen in- tellectual interests combine to present a very en- joyable and delightful person. Her low, warm voice with a typical mid-western inflection invites and encourages conversation. Her easy manner suggests one who would be equally at home at a formal banquet or a picnic. Dean Taylor has an innate ability to get right to the heart of a problem and to solve it quickly and effectively. To complement this ability she has the admirable trait of being a good listener. She extends her undivided attention to anyone who needs it. Emily is at the same time a person of many interests and a person of single-minded con- centration on her job, a Miami associate has said. Dean Taylor ' s amiable personality, sincere in- terest in people, and subtle good humor have en- deared her to all who have met her. In the few weeks she has been here, she has already made many friends and created a reputation for compe- tency and friendliness. Miami University ' s loss was certainly an out- standing gain foi- Kansas University. Welcome, Dean Taylor !
