HEN William D'Olier Lippincott was made Assistant Dean of the College in 1949, he stepped into one of the most important, and also one of the most unheralded positions in the Princeton administration. Dean Lippincott is in charge of all admin' istration contacts with nonfathletic, extrafcurricular activities, from publications and regional societies to the seventeen upperfclass eating clubs. A Princeton education is far from being only scholarly. One side is the academic-library, precepts, midnight oil, this aspect is opposed by the social-weekends, Prospect Street, extrafcurricular activities. Both channels, though seemingly divergent, are part of a Princeton education. Dean Lippincott alone is in a position to achieve the balance of these two sides of Princeton, for he alonetof the administration has so many contacts with the social side of undergraduate sentiment. Many of the problems arising from non' academic activities, from car permission to draft troubles, arrive at his desk, and they are usually resolved amid clouds of smoke arising from one of the Dean's many pipes. It is in appreciation for his efforts in both the social and academic streams of Princeton that we dedicate the 195 4 BricfafBrac to William D'Olier Lippincott. 9
