PRESIDENT Washburn College will celebrate its Diamond Jubilee in 1940. Along with a notable history, Washburn will lay emphasis on a present body of students unusually alive to the problems of their own education and making an excellent use of a line educational opportunity. There is an unusual capacity on the part of W'ashburn students for cooperating with each other and the faculty to improve any and all phases of the educational program. PHILIP C. KING.

FAC U LTY SUSAN M. GUILD Dean of WIIIIIVCIL CLEVELAND S. LOPER Dean of Men Susan M. Guild, long a familiar figure on Washburn campus as dean of women, has a personal interest in the affairs of each girl. Dean Cuild works through the sororities and Benton Hall in becoming acquainted with women students and giving them friendly advice on how to get the most out of their college careers. She supervises the work of the Pan-Hellenic organization and devotes much of her time to her German classes. Dean of men, Cleveland S. Loper, is sympathetic and understanding in his contacts with men students. His five years of experience as dean of men enable him to solve financial and social problems of almost every Wor- ried student. He is also head of the engineering dc- partment. Jessie Dean, college librarian, commands quiet at all times in her sanctimonious rooms. Her subtle sense of humor and twinkling eyes win her many student friends. She administers a fund for needy girls maintained by Nonoso and Pan-Hellenic. JESSIE DEAN Librarian v F

ICHABGD'S GPINICDNS 0+ he by Bob Hemphill It was not, thought Mr. Ichabod, that he needed those hours, it was the principle of the thing. Mr. lchabod often told himself that he would maintain his principles, or any others which sounded plausible, with all his power, and he meant to maintain them in this instance. lVlr. lchabod was having trouble with the Ad- ministration again. An excessive number of cuts had given him a large F in Social Science 23, and, although Mr. lchabod neither considered nor cared about the appearance of his transcript, he felt it a matter of personal pride to adjust the situation at once, and with the least possible effort. Wllhey can't do this to rne,'7 he said to him- self, and that seemed to settle the issue. lf pressed for an explanation of c'They, Mr. lcha- bod probably would have waved a hand vaguely and disposed of the definition with 'LThe Ad- lUlIllSlI'EillOl'l.,, The rub came, however, here: Old Phizog, the prof, had been quite stuffy about the whole thing. It was in vain that Mr. lchabod waved his final paper under Old Phizog's nose and pointed with pardonable pride to the imposing 79 marked thereon. It was obvious that although Mr. lchabod looked upon this 79 with the bliss of a father upon his first-born, Old Phizog gave it a jaundiced eye. 'llt is of absolutely no impo1'tanee,,7 Phiz said. nYour grade in the final examination, such-harumph-as it is, means nothing at all. The fact remains, you had thirteen cuts in this two-hour course. l can do nothing but give you a failing grade in the subject. Rules-- harumph-are rules, we must abide by them, however unfair, unsatisfactory, and-er-umpf -they may be. This, even the sunny lVlr. lchabod admitted, made things look a little dark. Things were forever looking dark, he reflected bitterly, when- ever one ran afoul of the Administration. Mr. lchabod was always one to forget and forgive, and his was not a critical nature, but as he looked back upon the various difhculties he had had in the past with this abstract body, he could but assume that they were a hard-headed lot, to say the least. A man can abide so much, he said, but occasionally he finds it necessary to turn like the proverbial worm and bite the hand that teaches him. The whole semester-indeed, the whole year -had been one of trouble and travail, involv- ing, as it did, a series of problems concerning the unyielding tendencies of the Administration in its attitude toward lVlr. lehabod and his fu- ture. There had been the problem of enroll- ment for the fall term . . . lVlr. lchabod contemplated the semi-annual enrollment proceedings with loathing. There was something about the whole sordid busi- ness whieh appalled his aesthetic nature. For one thing, one had to dash thither and yon get- ting an unbelievable number of signatures on
