Excellence upheld by retiring college dean AFTER A DECADE of service to the University, Dr. Ar- thur F. Engelbert, vice president of Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, tendered his resignation effective this june, but he has not done so without leaving a high mark of achievement upon the office. Dean Engelbert has been instrumental in the rapid development of one of the most progressive Washburn projects, the Washburn Semester at Copenhagen. It was through his unceasing efforts that this foreign study has been expanded into a summer program. Maintaining an open door policy for faculty and stu- dents, Dr. Engelbert has stimulated the academic community to keep abreast of developments in higher education in America. He has exercised leadership in the coordination of educational programs and in the support of faculty research. By communication with the faculty and with the President, Dr. Engelbert has done much to uphold the tradition of academic excel- lence throughout the University. Dr. Lee P. Dodson . V : I, by V M Dr. Arthur F. Engelbert ' Relations challenge administration work AMONG THE MANY changes instituted this year was the creation of the office of Vice President for Student Affairs. In this position, Dr. Lee Dodson was responsi- ble for acting as a liaison for faculty, administration, and students. The Student Affairs Department covered the gamut of student activities and personnel services on campus and was involved in the orientation of ap- proximately 1,000 freshmen last fall. The goal was to provide as much assistance to students as possible by making counselors and deans available to discuss what concerned them - ideas, problems, and plans. Dr. Dodson has felt the challenge afforded by his new po- sition at Washburn, realizing that the expanded capaci- ty of Student Affairs has allowed for a fuller develop- ment of student and University cooperation. 21
