Dean Atlee L. Percy can of omen A graduate of Boston University, Elsbeth Melville returned t.o her Alma Mater in 1945 to assume the task of supervising and guiding all the women students of the University. Her cheerfulness and capability already have been recognized by all those who have had the pleasurable experience of meeting her. Supervisor of all women's dormitories, advisor to the Panhellenic Society, Dean lXiIelville's tasks are varied and demanding, yet individual student problems, academic or social, always have first call on her time. YVhether it be in one of the Dean's many private con- ferences with students or at a gala social occasion, her sympathy, resoureefulness, and contagious good humor have been unbounded. The results of her work, of her very being among us, have endeared her not only to our hearts, but also 'to the practical eyes of those who realize how much Dean llelville means to Boston University. 20 eau of the University Appointed as Uean of the University in 19446, Dean Atlee L.

Ilfiiee of Interdepartmental Student Activities VVhen the Office of Interdepartmental Student Activities was instituted in 1935, Prof. Philip E. Bunker was appointed as its first director. The duties of this office are many and varied. The Director super- vises all University student activities and directs and controls the financial aspects of these activities. It is also the Director's duty to assist and advise fraternities, sororities, and other organizations on financial affairs so that they may maintain University recognition and continue in good financial standing. In addition to these many responsibilities, Prof. Bunker is Chairman of the Varsity Commit- tee, faculty advisor for all lfniversity student. publications, and Director of Dienis Residences at the University. Prof. Bunker is extremely interested in student activities and, realizing their great importance and value to the University and the students, gives unsparingly of his time that individual as well as group problems be solved. His office crowded with anxious editors and worried organization officers, he gives constructive advice to all, interrupting the complex lines of thought involved in one prob- lem to solve an equally complex problem urgently propounded over his every-busy telephone, then returning unperturbed to the previous problem as though no interruption had come.
