Sean of Mnmen Blanche H. Verder Tn a college of the nature of Kent State, the duty of the Dean of Women is to look after all those things in connection with a women student ' s life that are not cared for by the regular classroom instructor. These will include the living conditions, and the social relations, together with a keen interest in the development of the religious life of the women student. Working under the direction of the Dean of Women in Kent are the two house mothers of Moulton and Lowry Halls, the dietitian, and the resident nurse. Together these form the Dean ' s Council, which meets regularly to con- sider all the matters concerning the women residing in the halls. As there are about twice as many women students at Kent State living off campus as on, the Dean ' s major problem is to get into close touch with the women who hoard or live at home in Kent, or at home, in nearby towns. To accomplish this purpose, an Off Campus Women ' s Club has been formed, which has already done much. In November, the Dean of Women gave a tea to all the landladies of Kent who have college women living with them, that they might become better acquainted and might better understand their mutual relationships and responsibilities. During the winter term, the Dean of Women visited the houses in Kent, and made a list of approved rooming places for college women students. The organized social functions during the year have been many. These, in the main, have been the week end parties held in Moulton Hall. Various clubs and classes have financed the parties, which have been supervised by the Dean of Women and members of the faculty. Most of the gatherings have been all college women. The religious life on the campus centers in the Y. W. C. A. An increased interest in the organization is being manifested. The regular time of meeting has been changed from Sunday night to Wednesday evening. A religious census of the college women was made in the autumn term, and the local clergy were given lists of the names of the students who signified a church preference. During tin ' winter term a series of Sunday afternoon teas was given, to which both faculty and students were invited. At each tea, the Dean of Women in- vited as special guest some one of the clergy of Kent, who made a short address. Page Twelve
