Dean James A. Adams Dean Adams came to Wyoming Seminary in 1920. Be- cause of his will to succeed he became dean in 1936. Dean Adams earned his B.A. from the University of Maine and his M.A. from Columbia University. Among his hobbies are fishing, reading and photography. The Dean has traveled in many parts of Europe, the West Indies and Canada. I-Ie is a veteran of World War 11. Dean Adams devotes his time to young people and is a wonderful help to college-minded students. His experience, academic training and friendly approach are valuable assets to the administration of Wyoming Seminary. Miss Erma E. Foster Wyoming Se1ninary's preceptress, Miss Erma E. Foster, is eminently fitted to advise and assist her students. She is a graduate of Oberlin College and has done graduate work at Oberlin, Syracuse and Cornell. The profound concern that Miss Foster has for her re- sponsibility as preceptress is commendatory. Her contribu- tion to the education of Seminary students lies in the Held of mathematics. The boys who enter Annapolis will re- member her efforts in helping them in algebra, trigonometry and solid geometry. Her efliciency, understanding, and patience are appreciated not only by the boarders, but by all Seminary students. Prof. I. Theodore Hughes Our Associate Dean is Mr. Theodore Hughes. After graduating from Wesleyan University and doing graduate work at Cornell, he came to Wyoming Seminary as a teacher of chemistry in 1934. Besides teaching Mr. Hughes heads the Chemistry Department and advises the I-Ionor Court. Upon him falls the unpleasant duty of disciplining the un- ruly students. However, this task has had no ill effects on the respect that the students have for him. The time and effort that he sets apart each day for the students to come to him with their troubles is deeply appreciated by all. 11 5
