ADMINISTRATION Mr. S. G. Stukes is Dean of the Faculty, Registrar, and a professor of Psychology. His jolly laugh and real interest in each student have endeared him to the whole student body. Seniors are especially glad to ask his help and advice in obtaining positions after grad- uation, and underclassmen know him better through his lectures in Psychology. The task of managing the school business belongs to Mr. R. B. Cunningham, who is always ready for a pleasant chat with any of the Agnes Scott girls as well as being an extremely capable business manager. Our official treasurer is Mr. J. C. Tart. He also has charge of the bookstore and helps students keep their accounts straight in the student bank. Many girls are grateful for the advice he gives willingly on the fundamentals of keeping an account, even for such a thing as endorsing checks properly. The Admissions Committee of the Faculty, headed by Miss Alexander, assists freshmen in choosing their courses and taking the right amount of work, and sees that they have the proper entrance requirements, while the Committee of Electives, whose chairman is Mr. Holt, aids upperclassmen in choosing major and minor subjects, in electing subjects to harmonize with their chosen course, and in checking their class stand- ing. e, Miss Smith, and Mr. Holt look through the file of the Electives Committee.

OUR PRESIDENT Dr. McCain The door to Dr. McCain ' s office in Buttrick Hall is always open to students, whether just for a friendly visit or for talking over some perplexing problem. Students appreciate his deep interest in their activi- ties, as evidenced by his attendance at all coffees, vesper programs, athletic events, musicales, and many such campus functions. The Freshmen know him best as the inspirational leader of their Bible Class. Besides his duties as college president, Dr. McCain holds many other important offices, most of which can be found in Who ' s Who in America since he is a nationally known educator and religious leader. He is a senator of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, a member of the General Education Board of New York, the chairman of the Committee on Cooperation for the Southern University Conference, the chairman of the Committee on New Members for the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and also a Moderator for the Senate of Georgia for the Presbyterian Church. Dr. McCain ' s influence is vitally felt at Agnes Scott. To students and alumnae he typifies the best of the college ideals. Dr. McCain dictates a Idler into the dictaphone. At the Junior Banquet, Dr. McCain is an honored guest. Mr. Tart pauses for a brie) second in his busy office. Miss Eleanor Hn chcns handles all the school publicity.

THE DEO and beauty with efficiency. A large part of her work is dealing with Freshmen and the many problems that the first year invariably brings. Though the Freshmen proudly claim her as their own Inman housemother, upper- classmen also find Miss Hunter a real friend, deeply interested in their affairs. Miss Isabella Wilson, secretary to the Dean of Students, and Miss Lou Pate, secretary to the Dean of Faculty, assist in the Dean ' s Office in approving sign-out slips, keeping records of schedules, dates, and cuts, and in numerous other ways. Bella and Lou, as they are known to the girls, wait up cheer- fully until all those coming in from late dance permissions are back at school. Miss Scandrett catches up on some of her enormous correspondence. Perhaps the place on campus best known to the most people is the Dean ' s Office in Main Building. Here are handled all social affairs, as well as varied personal matters, such as rooming problems, sending tele- grams, or even ordering taxis. All four of the staff of the Dean ' s Office, a term which includes the Dean, her staff, and the actual office itself, are graduates of Agnes Scott and thus work in complete understanding not only of the girls but also of the ideals of the college. Miss Carrie Scandrett, Dean of Students, is the one to whom any girl could go with any problem, feeling sure of sympathetic support and the best possible advice. Al- though always busy with the many duties of her position, still she manages to give individual attention to any problem, how- ever trivial, brought to her in her office in Main or in her Buttrick Hall office. Miss Scandrett graciously opens her West Lawn apartment for various retreats and social gatherings and is beloved for her friendly smile and cheerful wink.
