CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS One Ohio University graduate who made good is Miss Irene Devlin, number-one secretary to the president. Able, super- efficient, she writes innumerable memos, handles Dr. James ' routine business and capably assists in solving problems of fore- most importance to the university. Miss Irene Devlin Don Peden Lamar J. Otis Miss Anne Keating Handling the funds of all student or- ganizations and auditing all ticket sales keeps Lamar J. Otis busy, leaving him little time for his hobbies, tennis and hiking. He came from Arkansas to head the Students ' General Fund Audit system in 1936 when it was inaugurated at the suggestion of the president. Don Peden, head football coach and supervisor of the complete sports program, is not the cheer-leader type. On the contrary, he is soft-spoken, interested primarily in the safety of his players during a game. Never does he alone take credit for a victory. Petite director of Edwin Watts Chubb Library, Miss Anne Keating dislikes pub- licity, claims reading as an avocation rather than a vocation. With the present closed stack system, her main problem is making the library ' s collection of 121,800 volumes accessible to students. Everything that relates between the gown and the town — that ' s my job, says Public Relations Director Brandon T. Grover. Ex. Ohio University football coach who majored in athletics and minored in academic requirements, Mr. Grover took his present position four years ago. Eternal vigilance is the watchword of Clark E. Williams, Alumni Secretary, keep- er of the records of 13,800 alumni. In addition he supervises the publication of the Ohio Alumnus and makes contacts for or- ganizing and supporting local alumni units. Founder ' s Day is also his responsibility. — 24

li-. Lawrence W. Lange OHIO UNIVERSITY ' S DEAN OF MEN Young, likeable, and already an estab- lished figure on campus after only two years is Dean of Men Lawrence W. Lange. An excellent organization-builder, he helped put the Men ' s Union House of Delegates on its feet and has worked for closer cooperation between independent and fraternity men. Dean Lange was graduated from New York University, where he was Director of Admissions and Student Personnel before coming here. Last spring he returned to his Alma Mater to complete his work and re- ceive his degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Dr. Lange ' s sports interests are tennis and golf. His skill at the former is evidenced by a gold knife he won at a tennis tourna- ment in British Columbia, but he is still looking for someone to give him a few golf lessons. His most favored sport, however, is skiing, because it introduced him to his wife, a capable artist, who painted the pictures hanging in his Cutler office. His weakness is electric trains, which he buys for his sons, Bobby and Tommy, and plays with himself. A tiny daughter completes the Lange family. — 26
