Virldiiii Fviih I ict: IlilDl (1} ' (I: I(H .1 I ' . Mj hs SlorrI, Ihilil 1,1 Mr,, Dean of Women The Deiin of Women has the unique opportunity of being guide, coun- sellor, and friend to all women students. It is her privilege to offer to the students at Mansfield, opportunities for widening their experience during the time not necessary for actual academic accomplishments. Some of these oppoi-tunities for a wider life are found in the lectures and concerts ; in the church activities; in the club life of the college; in the work of committees; in dramatic productions ; in short, in the general living conditions of this community. But other opportunities; such as the development of each in- dividual into a happy useful member of a large group, may be found in the daily contacts within the dormitory. The Dean of Women is primarily con- cerned with just this daily life of the students and has as her motto the greatest good for the greatest number, not forgetting any one of the number. Dean of Men As society evolves it becomes more and more complex. With its ever changing pattern and shifting scenes, rare is the man who needs no counsel or guidance. Everyone should be a master craftsman, building the most noble edifice his limits will permit. To do so, he must waste no time quarrel- ling with his fellow workers; he must use correctly the resources at his command ; and, he must n.it attempt to build that for which he has no ade- quate materials. It is the Dean of Men ' s privilege to help students to understand their neighbors, themselves and their possibilities in order that they may live moi ' e completely. 29

Mr.i. Grace Steadinan Dean of Miotic Lu M. Hariman Dean of Home Economics Music Education The Four Year Course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Public S chool Music not only includes many hours of music instruction covering methods of procedure from Kindergarten through grades, Junior and Senior High School; sight reading, dictation, theory and harmony, form and analysis, composition, music appreciation, music history, orches- tra, band, chorus, applied music, and many hours of practice teaching, but in addition requires twenty-four hours in education and eighteen hours in a teaching minor. This certainly makes as rounded and complete a course as is possible to give in four years. The course in Music Education then, broadens the field of musical culture and increases the enjoyment of tonal beauty, not only for our own students but in the lives of hundreds of children for whom music becomes an adventure in joy. GREAT OPPORTUNITIES MEAN GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES Home Economics The Home Economics Course at Mansfield State Teachers College prepares girls for two of the oldest of professions — te aching and home- making. Upon graduating after four years of work, a girl is qualified for teaching either general or vocational Home Economics in the State of Penn- sylvania. Instruction in this course provides the necessary training which makes a girl a better homemaker and leads her to establish a home which is Economically sound, mechanically convenient, physically healthful, mor- ally wholesome, artistically satisfying, mentally stimulating, socially re- sponsible, spiritually inspiring, and founded upon mutual affection and respect . 2S

Smith, Decki ' r, Tke Student Councils The students of Mansfield are organized into two Student Associa- tions . The women students comprise one, the men students comprise the other. Each year these associations elect a group who are known as the . Student Councils and it is the work of the Councils to carry on the active work of these associations. The Student Councils are vested with authority to discipline mem- bers of the Associations and in addition receive added delegated power from the administration of the college. The advantages of such organization, both to the students and to the administrative officers, are readily apparent. The unifying of the large number of students in the college not only makes it easier and more pleas- ant to control the group but also enables the students to make their wishes and needs known through recognized officers of their own. At Mansfield there is no feeling that the Student Councils and Associations are working against the college administration but rather that these two groups work in harmonious cooperation for the promotion of the interests of each. 30
