Several years ago, the College was divided into four associations, each with its own Dean and Resident Advisor. The existence of these four groups provides the stu- dent with the atmosphere of a small college while he enjoys the advantages of a large uni- versity. Dean William L. Duren. Jr. and Thomas E.
