John W. Hunt Education at its best is not meas- ured by what we do, but rather by what happens to students as a result of what we do. The dean describes teaching students as a) helping students develop their capacity to think and to reason; b) encouraging them to search for and develop a set of values by which to live; e) develop their ability to apply knowledge intel- ligently; and d) help them acquire the habit of work in converting ideas and concepts into consequences. I cannot think of many stations in life as satisfying as the opportunity to help young people grow into compe- tent, confident individuals and con- cerned citizens. JOHN HUNT. The dean of arts and sciences describes his job as attending to the quality of the college ' s educa- tion program by maintaining the best possible faculty and executing an ef- fective budget. Programs introduced since his arrival in 1972 include the Law and Legal Institutions minor and the Mathematics and Geology majors. In addition, existing departments such as Art, Religion, and Speech and Theater were strengthened. As to the University ' s future, Dean Hunt declared, Lehigh is in a golden position because of size, history, and location to give the kind of education that is crucial to our society both humanistically and technologically. ROBERT STOUT. The duties of dean of the graduate school include administration of the graduate pro- grams, awarding of scholarships and fellowships and maintenance of standards of admission and degree re- quirements. Commenting on his 20 years as dean, Stout said, I have enjoyed my work because it is varied, I have been able to do research and professional work in my special field, metallurgy, and I had the opportunity to contribute modestly to the operation of a respectable grad- uate program. After 41 years at Lehigh, I venture only to make this point: all of us be- come disgruntled at one time or another with some aspect of the Lehigh enterprise, but if we will con- duct ourselves with the realization that Perry A. Zirkel Lehigh should and must continue to be a great university, we will avoid many follies in our own actions in the short time we are on the staff. ' PERRY ZIRKEL. The dean of the school of education seeks to provide a mesh between the student and instruc- tion; the faculty and effective instruc- tion; and the administration and fiscal balance ' In his three years as dean, Zirkel has established a greater sense of unity with alumni through place- ment services, a newsletter, alumni day, and an alumni council. Zirkel has mixed feelings about his job. He likes dealing with the different branches of the University, but he feels there has been a decline in the need for a school of education and that it is not always considered a part of Lehigh. When asked his feelings about the University, Zirkel said, Lehigh is the kind of place that you either love or hate. Many hate it while they ' re here but miss it when they ' re gone. Robert D. Stout 23
