DEAN OF MEN JOHN E. STEWART Born in Bar Harbor, Dean Stewart attended the local schools and in 1927 received his B.A. degree from the University of Maine. The following year he received his Master's degree from Maine and since then he has done graduate work at the University of Iowa and Columbia University. After several years of teaching mathematics at Maine, he rose to the position of assistant to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1950 he became Dean of Men and took on the duties of being ready for unexpected emergencies, of helping his students with their personal adjust- ment problems, and of working with Mr. Jones to insure the smooth functioning of the Memorial Union. As a native State of Mainer Dean Stewart appropriately enjoys hunting and fishing as off- campus relaxation. 14 ASSISTANT to the DEAN BARRY MILLETT Barry Millett graduated from the University of Maine in 1956 after serving for four years in the army.

ADMINISTRATION In the final analysis the success of an institu- tion depends upon the coordination of its parts. Our rapidly growing university needs the highest possible efficiency in attempting to meet the needs of the state of Maine. To ensure the smooth operation of the school com- munity, the Administration recognizes its vital role and is taking steps accordingly to promote the growth of the university. As close student- administration relationships must exist in an academic institution, the citizens of this college community are appreciative of the willing co- operation of the administrative officials and their staffs. Checking schedules in the Regis- trar's office, planning social events, signing for a club room, adding and dropping, picking up veteran's checks, paying bills, taking job interviews, having attractive grounds, and arranging housing facilities only partially indicate the scope of the services of the administration.
