Dean I Men Under the able direction of H. W. Hollard, life in Lewis Hall during the past two years has become one of the real pleasures on our campus. Although having only assumed the office of Dean of Men during the current school year, Mr. Hollard has been in charge of the men ' s dormitory for two years. Setting out with the avowed intention of making the dormitory a better and more home-like place in which to live, he has far exceeded his expectations. Using one of the tools most effective on American youth, liberty, Mr. Hollard has transformed a room in the dormitory from the aspects of a prison cell to a homey and comfortable place in which to live. The respect that his character has commanded has been the most influential factor in his dealings with the young men students of Arkansas State. For many years the most popular instructor on the hill, the magnitude of his popularity has taken a much wider breadth because of the fair and square manner in which he has handled every problem in which he has had face to face contacts with the boys themselves. Mr. Hollard, we congratulate you on a very successful first year as our Dean of Men.

Dean of the Faculty Despite all the responsibilities of his office, Dean E. L. Whitsitt is noted for his cheery whistle as well as for his executive ability. Dean Whitsitt came to Arkansas State almost with its inception, and as the college has grown in popularity and in service, so has he grown in popularity and in service. He is an ever ready advisor for both faculty and students, straightening schedules, financial tangles, and extra-curricular problems with a practical hand. It is under Dean Whitsitt ' s direction that the present four year college curriculum has been adapted from that of the Junior College. His foresight and energy have con- tributed their share to the growth of Arkansas State to its present level.

Dean of Women Direction of women ' s activities at Arkansas State College rests on the capable shoulders of Mrs. Nannie A. Rogers, Dean of Women, who has served the young women of the campus in the capacity since 1926. Supervision of the out-of-town girls who board in Jones- boro is one of Mrs. Rogers ' responsibilities, along with her close association with the girls living in Barnhart Hall. She also is interested through her membership on the Student Life Committee, in directing the social activities on the campus. This year, Mrs. Rogers was influential in revising dormitory regulations which now are in accord with those prevailing at the best eductional institutions. She also helped in solving the student housing problem through her inspection and approval of local boarding places.
