. • fll ■ ' w B HHk ' Dean Rush Elliott College of Arts and Sciences As Academic Deans these men have philosophies which transcend their basic duties. These philosophies are a reflection not only of the college they head, but of their individual personalities. Whether they advocated giving- students every chance, or working them as hard as possible . . . they advocated it because it was best for the students in college and in the future. Deans are not figure heads . . . they are the link between the president and the professors, they decide whether a student stays in college or is dropped, set up class schedules, interview and seek faculty- replacements. Whether expressed or not, these men have one common regret . . . they are not able to know each student in their college at least by name. Dean Earl Seigfred College of Fine Arts Dean E. J.

Everyone belongs in the library. Some belong by watching. Some belong by doing.
