The annual budget of the University must be approved by this Board before it can be made effective by the president. Prominent among the administrative officers is Dr. Henry L. Banzhaf, dean of the School of Dentistry and business manager of the University. Preparation of the annual budget and supervision of the expenditure allotted to the various departments throughout the year constitute the principal duties for which he is responsible. Dr. Banzhaf is assisted in his work by Miss Frances Steinbrecher, supervisor of all the clerical help at the University. Miss May Dooley, bursar, superintends the collection of tuition fees and other incidental charges paid by the student. Her work was considerably enlarged this year by the complication of clerical detail in connection with the part-time payment of tuition now in operation. State loans to needy students, who would otherwise be unable to complete their education, was an additional duty handled through the office of the bursar. Undergraduates were permitted to apply for an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars. The Central Bureau of Information and Statistics functions under the direction of Albert C. Penny.

William M. Magee, S.J., president; the Rev. William J. Grace, S.J., secretary, and the Rev. Augustine W. Walters, S.J., treasurer of the University. Assisting the trustees and appointed by them, is the Board of Governors, a group of men selected from among the outstanding economic leaders of Wisconsin. Comprising this Board at the present time are: Gen. Otto H. Falk, president of the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company and vice-president of the Falk Corporation, chairman of the Board; Dr. Charles E. Albright, special representative of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company; Harry S. Johnston, president of the Robert A. Johnston Company; F. J. Senscnbrenner, Neenah, president of the Kimberly-Clark Company; Albert C. Elser, director of the First Wisconsin National Bank; and the Rev. William M. Magee, S.J., who is ex-oflicio a member of the Board. The governors, who arc appointed for a term of three years, renewable at the will of the • trustees, have, with the exception of Father Magee, held their posi- tions on the Board since it was first organized in 1927. Much of the responsibility for the financial well-being of the school is assumed by the Board of Governors. It has complete control of the finances and business management of the University and also selects and supervises the business manager and regulates the sala- • • 16 THE HILLTOP O F N I

Melzcr, the registrar. General supervision over the entire student body is exercised by the deans of men and women. The latter position is held by Mrs. Margaret E. Harrington, past president of the Wisconsin Association of Deans of Women, who has acted as counselor to the Hilltop coeds for more than ten years. Appointed by the Rev. Albert C. Fox, S.J., at that time president of Marquette, Mrs. Harrington has served in the capacity of dean without interruption, making her one of the oldest ranking officials in the school. Supervising all extra-curricular activities of Marquette women students, she has always shown a personal interest in her charges. The Rev. John A. Berens, S.J., dean of men, holds a very similar position among the men of the University—a position that has made him probably the best known and the best loved individual at Marquette. The difficulties of every student have always found sympathetic attention and solution when brought to the dean. His • 18 office on the first floor of Johnston Hall is the gathering place and open forum for the entire student body where, in an atmosphere of good-fellowship, the students meet to discuss a variety of subjects ranging from the most deeply intellectual topics to the most trivial student affairs. • Much of the recent success of the Marquette Lecture Bureau is due to the guiding influence of Father Berens, who is faculty moderator of the organization. In addition to the duties of these positions and to his services as an instructor of religion, he is a member of the Committee on Student Activities and Welfare, and moderator of the Interfraternity Council. This latter position assumed rather formidable proportions during a period of financial depression such as existed during the past year when many fraternities were forced to operate on drastically curtailed budgets in order to maintain their existence. Aiding the dean of men in his supervision of student activities, is George R. Griffin, an alumnus of Marquette and an instructor in Latin, who has occupied the position of assistant dean since 1931 when the post was created. Mr. Griffin's particular duty is the control of the housing problem for out of town students. In the absence of dormatories, the University approves and supervises privately owned rooming houses in which the student must reside. Each semester, house applications arc considered and examined for social, sanitary and moral conditions, and a list of all approved houses prepared. The out of town student must take up his residence in an approved house before he is permitted to register, and all changes of address must be immediately reported and sanctioned. Prominent in state unemployment relief activities during 1933, Dr. Edward A. Fitzpatrick, dean of the Graduate School, directed the application of the National Recovery Act in Wisconsin.
