Dean Butler emphasizes the chapel announcements. Dean communicates well with students A new administrative office was establislied at Anderson College this year. Mr. C. E. Butler, former academic dean for the past seven years, will begin his duties as Director of Student Affairs when the 1969-70 school session convenes. Mr. Butler ' s new role will be to strengthen stu- dent affairs and to coordinate the work of various individuals and department heads. One of his greatest contributions to Anderson College has been his ability to work with students. A recent chapel speaker and former student recently made the fol- lowing comment about Mr. Butler: He has the amaz- ing ability to get close to students — even fresh- men. Mr. Butler has been associated with Anderson College since 1960 when he came to the college as a part-time teacher. As the college grew, he became Academic Dean and Registrar and was Dean of Men. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Education Degrees from Clemson University and a Bachelor of Divinity from Erskine Theological Sem- inary after he entered the ministry. He has taught school and has served as pastor in addition to his many other accomplishments. „ Now you know Freshmen girls can ' t have cars. Academic Dean C. E. Butler 27

ADMINISTRATION Young, older combine for good of students Mrs. Mildred Kirby, dean of women at Anderson College, is an important person on the Baptist junior college campus as she has the responsibility of the female students. She keeps in close contact with all boarding women in regard to rules and regulations and she serves in an advisory capacity for all women students. Mrs. Kirby, a former Anderson College student, is conscientious in her dealings with students and administrators and she upholds the policies and tra- ditions of the school in her decisions. She works closely with the Women ' s Council and also serves on various administrative committees. He ' s young, he ' s with it, and he tells it like it is. This is the way most students describe Mr. Eric M. Stafford, who served as Dean of Men this year. A former Anderson College student, Mr. Stafford was just beginning his duties at AC when Uncle Sam decided he had priority for the next five months. Now that he has returned to the college, he has proved to be a valuable asset to Anderson College. Although he definitely has a firm approach to situa- tions, he has an open mind to students and their needs. He encourages students to come to him with their problems and he advocates an open-door philosophy. Respect, he demands — respect, he gets, regardless of his age. Mrs. Mildred Kirby, Dean of Women u
