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.

PRESIDENT EHTEITITLIS WAITS .... When Dr. Edward McShane Wfaits resigned as head of our University in 1941. he had completed 25 years of service in that capacity. Prexy Wtiits. however, didnt resign from serving his University, for at that time he accepted the title and duties of President Emeritus. Those 25 years beginning in 1916 were filled by many material contributions: the extending of our campus and buildings with added material, increased faculty, larger en- dowment and others too numerable to mention. However, material contribution were not the only ones added by Dr. Waits' tenure. The same spirit which guided his teachings as a Christian minister helped frame the reputation our Uni- versity has long held as a friendly school, He also depicts the high seriousness of the institutions goals. the pioneer traditions as expressed on our campus and the humorous yarns that circulate about colorful ex-students. These may be classified as a few examples of the rich heritage Dr. Waits has left this institution. Now as our good-will emissaryu Dr. W.iits remains with us to present our school to the world as the friendly, Christian institution it is. No better man could exemplify or execute such duties than our Prexy. ASSISTANT JAITIES ITTITNTSEIMEITY A boy who was once captain of the Horned Frog track team and president of the student body has returned to his Alma Mater after 16 years absence to do something worth while for the school. He is the Reverend james E. Montgomery and he fills the newly-created administrative position of the University as Assistant to the President. In order to accept this position he had to resign from his former post as pastor of the First Christian Church in Longview on last September 1. He had been pastor there for the past seven years. While attending T. C. U. he took a leading role in activities on the campus and also served as president of the Student Honor Council. As Assistant to the President he helps in the fund- raising phase of our financial program and especially in Dr. Sadler's living endowment campaign. .-.sa ee Ai His duties are those of field representative which keeps him off the campus most of the time. This position was given him because of his unusual ability, temperament and outstanding personality. These qualities have made him an asset in his first year with the University and promise even greater contri- butions in the future.
