Cary Wheeler, senior class president, drops into the Dean ' s office to discuss Founders ' Day plans with Miss Scan- drett. Dean of Women is a formidable title, but Miss Carrie Scandrett ' s sense of humor and personal interest in every girl are responsible for the waiting line to be found outside of her office at any hour. Equally ready to hear tales of woe or the high lights of last night ' s date, she has the ability to be a perfect listener and to draw out the most timid freshman. Taking over the heavy responsibility of keeping five hundred girls happy and of urging them on to higher attainments. Miss Scandrett deserves praise for her work this year. Miss Charlotte Hunter and Mr. S. G. Stukes meet in the daily routine of ad- ministration affairs. Miss hHunter has won a following of student admirers in her first year back at her Alma Mater. Mr. Stukes is registrar of the school and dean of the faculty. The conversation turna to dollars and cents when Mr. R. B. Cunningham and Mr. J. C. Tart get together. Mr. Cun- ningham is the shrewd business man- ager, known for his keen sense of humor and his willingness to stop on the quad- rangle for long chats with the students. Mr. Tart, quick-witted and energetic, is efficiency personified in his dealings with patrons of the bank.

JAN £S ROSS McCAIN PRESIDENT Dr. McCain, known in Atlanta and in educational circles as an out- standing combination of sincerity, understanding, and ceaseless en- ergy, is responsible for the marked development that Agnes Scott is undergoing at this time. Always occupied, but never too busy for a quiet chat with the students, he welcomes all to his office. This year a special effort was made to meet the freshmen, and the new- comers were delighted to have the opportunity of talking in pri- vate with him the opening week of school. Dr. McCain has been chosen as president of the Southern Univer- sity Conference and is chairman of the committee on Standards of the Southern Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools. Since he is reticent about acknowl- edging his honors, we cornered his secretary and learned that he is a member of the advisory committee of the General Education Board of New York, is a senator of the United chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, and has been elected Pres- ident of the Beta chapter of Geor- gia. The movement toward the university center in Atlanta is also demanding his attention this year.
