For more than forty years Dean Colby D. Hall has been inti- mately connected with Texas Christian University. Because of his background and wide experience, he is the person to whom both students and faculty turn with numerous problems. More than any other man, Dean Hall has seen the continuity of the growth of T. C. U. Merely to say that his services have been invaluable fails to express adequately his true worth to the school with which he has been so closely allied. DEAN EIJLHY U. HHLL In recognition of Dean Hall's many services and long years of work in the interest of T. C. U., the University this spring paid tribute to him. In re- lieving him of his post as Dean of the University, another duty has been assigned him: Dean of Brite College of the Bible. Dean Hall, always a scholar and Christian gentle- man, still finds time for lighter moments when he likes to putter in his garden, listen to the radio, attend movies or mixup some of his successful waffles without the aid of any ready-mixed batter. Dean Halls personal influence will always be felt on the campusg his wise counsel in times of stress will still be available. T. C. U. honors Dean Hall, a competent and efficient administrator. May his untiring efforts be as fruitful in his new post as in the one he is leaving. L. II. PETE WRIGHT .... Though duty keeps Mr Pere busy, his interests are not limited to those he performs officially. He manages to play a few games of dominoes with the boys at the shop, spin yarns about those summer fishing trips to students in the halls and play a few rounds of golf. All in all, activities on and off the record, make Mr Q Pete a favorite on our campus. L. C. Wright, or Mr. Pete is an example of the all- round T. C. U. man. This year marks his Zlst year in the service of his Alma Mater in an official capacity, but his service has a much longer record than that. He is the only person to serve as captain of the Fighrin' Frogs for two consecutive years. His position in those years, 1907 to l909, was tackle. Since then, with the ex- ception of a few years working for an out-of-town bank. he has tackled the various tasks that come Linder the category, Duties for L. C. The first 10 years included duties that befall an athletic director for that was the post he filled on his return to the University.
