DEAN JOHN CLARK JORDAN—The Graduate School is indeed fortunate in having as its Dean a man who is recognized nationally for his many ac¬ complishments. Through his understanding of the prob¬ lems which confront the graduate students, they are di¬ rected in the pursuit of their studies and are encouraged to increase their private store of knowledge. Dean Jordan’s advice is greatly respected and he is a friend to all students in aiding them to choose their courses.

TO AID MANKIND By DEAN JOHN CLARK JORDAN I N these clays of the depression, I am often asked for my opinion as to the advisabil- of a student’s entering upon graduate Work after the completion of his college course. Particular cases are best left to the judgment of the student himself; but in gen- era l I have certain convictions as to the course of action that should be followed. I believe that the maximum in the under¬ graduate enrollment has been reached, at least for some years. Few additional teachers, therefore, will he needed. This fact has con¬ siderable bea ring on the matter of graduate study, inasmuch as many persons take up graduate study primarily as a means to ad¬ vancement in the teaching profession. I believe that many people should be discour¬ aged from beginning graduate work; but I believe just as firmly that able students should be encouraged even more than they have been in the past. The depression will have much benefit if it forces us to improve the equality of our graduate students, and result in great value if it raises the standard of our teachers, and if it develops scholars who are capable of adding to the world’s knowledge.
