He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Southern University Conference, a Senator of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, and a member of the Executive Coun- cil of the General Education Board.

He is the friend of every student at Agnes Scott, be- coming first acquainted with her through correspond- ence, working with her as professor and adviser during her under-classman years, and offering her excellent advice and concrete aid in finding work when she graduates. Able business manager of the college ' s finances is Mr. R. B. Cunninsham, who is noted for his flawless bookkeeping, his friendly habit of chatting with stu- dents anywhere he meets them. Mr. J. C. Tart, whose official position of treasurer keeps him behind the bars of the student bank or in the book-store most of the time he spends on campus, is efficiency personified in all his dealings. His close associations with the entire college community have made him well-known and respected. Of the many Standing Committees of the Faculty, there are two which are especially important in admin- istering student scholastic affairs, the Admissions Com- mittee, of which Professor Alexander is Chairman, and the Committee of Electives, headed by Professor Holt.
