, ,,,WrT . 234. QW film In 1926 Professor of Economics, Roy Ellis, was elected president of our college. Since that time many improvements have been made under his guiding hand. Two new buildings have been erected, the Science and Health and Recreation Buildings, and a new swimming pool and stadium have been added. The faculty and administration have been enlarged from around 70 to well over 100. One new degree, the B.S. in Commerce, has also been inaugurated. A man whose interests lie solely in the improving of our school, and who unselfishly and untiringly works to that end-a man who is a friend of every student-a man loved by the faculty and students-such is our President Roy Ellis. Born in Seymour, Missouri, he is a native son of our own Southwest Missouri. He attended S.T.C. from 1909 to 1911. Afterwards he received degrees from Missouri, Harvard, and Columbia. PHlSIHlNl

HlHN Ill WHMlN XV. Qefzika Walk As Dean of Women, Miss Bertha Wells has a variety of jobs to perform. Her routine duties include placing students in rooms, helping girls find homes in which to work for room and board, keeping a lost and found department, making a date book for the college, and supervising all extra-curricular affairs. This year the duty of adviser to the newly formed Pan-Hellenic Council has been added to her department. More important, however, is her work as counsellor. She is a personal adviser and friend to all the students, and she is never too busy to stop and listen to the students' problems. This is Miss Wells' twenty- third year as Dean of Women at S.T.C. During that time students have come to know her as a true friend. Assisting Miss Wells this year in her ever-increasing number of duties is Miss Ann Elise Gimson, who was graduated from S.T.C. last year. ANN ELISE G1MsoN Secretary
