NINETEEN TH1RTY-1 DIK AUCOLA I I I I I I 1 1 1 1! I ' i IOUR JOSEPH M. M. GRAY, B.A., B.D., D.D., Litt.D., S.T.D. Chancellor of the University Dr.Grav ' s arrival on the campus was followed by a whirlwind of activity, which soon made the stu- dent body cognizant of the fact that American University now had an active chancellor. His habitual liberalism manifests itself in many ways, in his thinking, in his administrative actions, in his sympathetic tolerance of other points of view. Dr. Gray is the cultured scholar and the man of action, the preacher of inspiring vision and the realist of progressive administration. His eager- ness to meet and know each student personally has already gained him wide popularity. GEORGE B. WOODS, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Dean of the College and Professor of English It is as a leader of men and a fighter for causes in which he believes that Dr. Woods is most re- spected. Certainly we realize that to him more than to anv other one person is due credit for the astounding progress of the college during its short history. Yet with his administrative ability is combined an unusual literary appreciation which has gained him a wide reputation as a Shakespeare scholar. MARY LOUISE BROWN, B.A., M.A. Dean of Women and Associate Professor of English Miss Brown, as Dean of Women, brings to her task of creating a home at American University for out-of-town girls the same energy and charming hospitality she puts into every other project she undertakes. She has had adequate training for her present position, for not only has she taught, but at Ames College, Iowa, she filled the same position she holds here. She is famous for her waffle suppers and has an unconquerable fondness for chow mein.
