NOAH E. BYERS Dean B. S. Northwestern University A. M. Harvard University Every institution, large or small has an impelling force which is necessary to cause it to function and coordinate. In Bluffton Dean N. E. Byers furnishes his share of this force. Through generations of students his leadership has not been questioned. As dean of the college, it is his duty to deal with problems of discipline. Through the enforcement of rules and the up- holding of principles he finds himself in line for much criticism. However, his actions are directed by conscientious decisions and in the end his critics have been converted to his methods. We admire him for his vigor, his intensity, and his stern sense of justice. He, being a professor of psychology and philosophy, has a deep insight for human nature and the workings of student minds. Certainly, he has a keen mind for he can analyze im- mediately and accurately all the problems brought before him. He is, indeed, an intimate and propelling force in the college life on our campus.
