THE ADMINISTRATION The Administrative offices of the school kept Wait Hall buzzing with activity during 1949-50. The increased attendance affected every depart- ment which controls the welfare of the college. Mr. D. B. Bryan continued in his capacity as Dean of the college and administered to the troubles and problems of the student body in all cases which needed official attention. His duties also require him to be an official adviser to the presi- dent. Under the supervision of Elliott B. Earnshaw, the problems of finance, salaries, veterans ' eligibility, and general college business were dealt with by the six staff members of the Bursar ' s office. The annual financial report was published in this de- partment, all increased grants to the college in the form of loans, scholarships, or subsistences were handled, and the records of veterans were kept accurate under the guidance of Asst. Bursar Worth Copeland and Jim Cook. The many academic records which have to be kept by a college were done by the office of the Registrar. Mr. Grady S. Patterson and his as- sistant, Mrs. Margaret Perry, handled the pub- lishing of the college catalog, all absences, the law school records, various scholarships, each student ' s grades, and entrance correspondence, along with a capable staff of five.
