Dean Martha M. Reid AND SHE OUR WOMEN F ROM the vantage point of a dozen years of deaning at the University of Arkan¬ sas, the dean of women extends a greeting to the present student body and to all who have been students here during the past twelve years. Should a member of the class of 1924 return this year to the commencement of 1935, he would find a number of changes. Five new buildings on the campus indi¬ cate growth and improvement in the physical facilities of the University. Six new sorority and fraternity houses tell of improved living conditions for students. A co-operative house for women affords a satisfactory home for fifteen girls at a minimum cost. The women’s dormitory has been remodeled and made comfortable and attractive. A number of honor societies have been installed which furnish additional intellectual stimulus. Two national freshman honor groups, one for men and one for women, offer opportunities for distinction to out¬ standing freshmen. A chapter of Kappa Delta Pi recognizes exceptional students in the College of Education, and the long cov¬ eted chapter of Phi Beta Kappa places its seal of achievement upon distinguished scholarship in the College of Arts and Science. Graduates of the Law School are occupy¬ ing important positions all over the state, thus bringing recognition to their Alma Mater. Twelve years of planning and work and achievement! Here’s to the University of Arkansas! May she never be a big university, but may she continue to grow stronger and better year by year. Page 17

Dean G. E. Ripley HE ADVISES OUR MEN A FTER years of service as advisor for our young men, I have had one fact conclusively demonstrated many times. I must concede that youth and age are dis¬ tinctly and eternally different and this dif¬ ference must be admitted and accepted if there is to be little or no conflict between the two. My contact and work with thousands of young men has shown me how differently youth and age look at life and its problems and responsibilities. To me this is a whole¬ some and constructive force in our national life. I am glad that youth is impulsive, original and daring and therefore different from age. Youth suddenly decides to do something and, acting upon the impulse of the moment, with no thought for the future, does it and generally succeeds. Age, on the same prob¬ lem, would deliberate, calculate, turn to the past and then to the future for guidance and then hesitate on whether to do or not to do through fear of precedent. Youth knows no precedent. My observations and experiences have taught me that age can not do very much for youth, but age can do very much with youth when age understands the difference in the above statements. Keeping this differ¬ ence in mind, age finds that working with youth is not as dangerous as it appears and that youth may do about as well acting on impulse as age does acting by reason. I have found that it is time well spent to go with these young men and to allow them to try out an idea in order to prove they are right or wrong. It is interesting to observe that in spite of their inexperience and their impul¬ sive way of action, they do amazing and often worthwhile things. Page 16
