DEHN WOMEN It is a far cry from the day when Mary Lyon, acting as president, dean, teacher and nurse, gathered about her at Mt. Holyoke a little group of women eager for higher education, to the present day, when colleges count their women students by hundreds and universities number theirs by thousands. The organization of an office equipped to keep in touch with these larger groups, and to maintain successful co-operation with chaperons, house mothers, and matrons, that they may function wisely and well, is one of the most essential duties of a dean and the importance of this administrative side of the work cannot be too strongly emphasized. But the dean of women must also be alert to the intellectual movements of the day and must be able to give sane advice upon the academic questions which at times become problems in the minds of the women students. To inspire confi- dence, she musthave studied these problems herself and from her own experience be prepared to give generous sympathy and wise counsel. So well known is the office of the dean of women as the center of social activities that it is not necessary to dwell on this phase of the work. Here is arranged a schedule of social activities as varied as the tastes of the different groups-a schedule of interest -alike to men and women students. ' Administrative, academic, social, such is the threefold aspect of the work of a dean of women in a University such as Arkansas. Dean Martha M. Reid.

k DEHN MEN lt is doubtful if any person, besides the writer and proofreader, reads this article. l-lowever, the editor is calling for two hundred words to use in the nineteen hundred thirty-four Razorback and it is up to the writer to furnish these words so that there will not be a blank page in the thirty-four Razorback. lt would be an easy and interesting task if' some of the many confidential con- versations were given, but that must not be done. Better that this page be left a blank than to betray a confidence. V The Dean of Men has the wonderful opportunity of working with youth, of trying to maintain his own youth so that a better understanding may exist between student and dean, and of acquiring through all this the confidence of worth-while youth engaged in worth-while tasks. It is a work which is both interesting and inspiring and ever calls for the best he can give. The personal work, and I consider this work the most important, has increased rapidly in the past three or four years. It touches every phase of student life, pro- vides an interesting fund of information as to what is going on in the minds of the students, and affords an excellent opportunity to advise, to aid, to influence, and to contribute toward character building in the student body. One cannot ask for a more important duty than this. ' Dean G. E. Ripley. 1 ..12...
