Dean Whitsitt is perhaps the most sought after member of the faculty. His popularity may explain this fact but we suspect that official summons figure prominently. At any rate the number of visits to the Dean ' s Office in the course of the year is amazingly large. One meets the Dean probably for the first time at registration. His reassur- ing smile disarms suspicion and before one knows what has happend he has been loaded down with about all the courses he had planned to sidestep. Classes begin and with the close of the first month another visit to the Dean will probably be made to explain to this inexorable man some low grades. And so on through the year the necessity of calling at the office constantly recurs. That the Dean is on the job is evidenced by the long hours he spends on the hill. He knows the institution — its problems, needs and capaci- ties. The faculty functions smoothly under the directing hand of Mr. Whitsitt. Storms arise in the student body but he weathers them easily.. To the uncritical observerer all institutions of higher education are incon- sistent bundles of discordant elements. And they may become that under some Deans. The various parts of our institutional machinery are well fitted, correctly operated, and so operate smoothly. For this credit is largely due to Mr. Whitsitt.
