RICHARD CUNNINGHAM DEAN OF STUDENTS An extremely active position among the administrators of Wesleyan maintaining the equilibrium of the old and new is that of the Dean of Students. Mr. Richard Cunningham is continually striving to bring stu- dents, administration, and faculty together as a closely-woven body, known better as the ' Wesleyan family. The Dean of Students places as his first duty that of serving each individual student. Other duties include the operation of the Student Personnel Center and guiding Wesleyan in the Community Council, student aid and student housing. A dream is realized with completion of the men ' s qu rangle. DEAN OF MEN Fifteen years ago John D. Shaver came to the Wesleyan campus as Chairman of the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts. Mr. Shaver was first appointed Dean of Men Students in 1954, and he has held this position for the past seven years. In addition to counseling students, Mr. Shaver heads the chapel committee. t JOHN D. SHAVER 18

REGISTRAR Mr. Patton L. Nickell, after working in the admissions office during his years as a student at Wesleyan, now serves the college as Registrar. In this position he must schedule classes and final examinations, register students, prepare transcripts, and maintain permanent records. His scope of responsibility has now been extended to include summer sessions, extension, and evening classes. PATTON L. NICKELL DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS Before arriving on campus, new students receive their first im- pression of the Wesleyan community through Mr. Raymond Kiser, Director of Admissions. Much of his year is spent in contact and conversation with high school juniors and seniors about the impor- tance of a college education. Because of his effectiveness, Mr. Kiser is revered as one of Wesleyan ' s greatest media in transmitting the warmth and enthusiasm so typical of Wesleyanites. RAYMOND KISER 17

WILLIAM B. HICKS SUPERINTENDENT OF FACILITIES Preserving and enhancing Wesleyan ' s campus is the responsibility of Mr. William B. Hicks. Jr. Again, we find evidence of the old and new represented in his many duties. He has additional responsibility with the construction of the new student center. PUBLIC RELATIONS In the forefront of Wesleyan ' s public relations ex- pansion are two of the ablest men in this area. Mr. Walter R. Collins and Mr. Creel S. Cornwell. Mr. Col- lins ' main concern is that of keeping in contact with the alumni and of maintaining their records. Co-worker Cornwell backs up Mr. Collins and keeps the public informed as to Wesleyan ' s current events through the press, radio, television, and various periodicals. WALTER R. COLLINS 19
