Byron KicutLy Tripper A.M. (Oxon.) Dean of the College dean of college The dean of a small college, as the friend and adviser of the students, must set an example in reason and understanding. Dean Trippet is one of the most popular and respected men on the campus not only for possessing these qualities, but also for others equally important. The calm orderliness of his demeanor, his subtle humor and his brilliant mind are outstanding. Turning out an amazing quantity of work seems easy for him, yet he still finds time for any problems a student may have. His job is undefinable and everyone’s problem is his, yet he handles each one with energy and tact. In every way Byron Trippet is the champion of Wabash College, and the standard of its ex- cellence.

FRANKS FLUGHSOPARKS .PhiDseile Dae lH, President (Sabin Foundation) president In the person of Dr. Sparks we find a combination of a scholar, an able administrator, and a friend of every Wabash man. He has a reputation for accomplishing the difficult, if not the im- possible. During his period of service at Wabash Dr. Sparks has done much to promote the building program for the college, and to bring a distinguished faculty to our classrooms. Always abreast of the times, he was one of the formulators of the Indiana Plan for selective service and the champion of the small colleges on that problem. To list all his accomplishments would be impossible, but we can say that Frank Sparks is one-hundred per cent for Wabash; and Wabash is one-hundred per cent for him.
