A l MSS THELNIA MILL Coming to the Missouri campus as Director of Women's Affairs in 1938, Miss Thelma Mills has put into application many popular ideas. Through her efforts, the Women's Residence Hall was built in order to provide women students with favorable low-cost living conditions. Miss Mills received her A.B. from Willamette University and her M.A. from the Teachers' College at Columbia. She served as the Dean of Women at Whitman College eight years before coming to Mizzou. Page 15 Claiming Forest Grove, Oregon, as her home, Miss Mills has traveled in China, New Zealand, Aus- tralia, and the South Sea Islands. In order to bring 'every possible modern method to the University, she has traveled throughout the United States to attend various meetings of educators. Not only do we benefit from her newly-acquired knowledge, but other schools have gained many of her terrific ideas! Our Dean of Women has a wonderful sense of humor, a dynamic personality, and a conception of fairness that lists her in the language of today as a good gal.

UEAN F. . TEPHE Being the only college set up in the beginning of the University in 1839, the College of Arts and Science lays claim to being the oldest division on campus. The college as a whole can boast of the largest enroll- ment despite the many slashes of Uncle Sam's knife. The purpose of the college, now more than ever, is to provide a liberal education in the arts and sciences as will assure a severe intellectual discipline, prepare for wide service in the world, and enlarge and make richer the studentls life. Also much attention is given to establishing in the student a critical under- standing of our culture. The College of Arts and,Science lays a basis on which the student is able to determine and build that particular profession or vocation for which he is most suited. It prepares for graduate work in various fields of research. It offers the basic courses required for admission to the professional schools. Frank F. Stephens, the Dean of underclassmen in the School of Arts and Science has been at Missouri for thirty-six years. The password for entrance into his ofiice should be I am one of your students, for his main interest is in his students and there is always a big smile of welcome on his face. On a bright Sun- day morning we might find our Dean in his garden fiddling around with his plants. Page 16
