Having great organizing ability, excellent judgment, and a fine human understanding. Dean Percy indeed commands respect and admiration for the outstanding work he has done for the I'niversity. Dean of Women A graduate of Boston I’niversity, Klsbeth Melville returned to her Alma Mater in 1945 to assume the task of supervising and guiding all the women students of the University. Her cheerfulness and capability have been recognized bv all those who have had the pleasurable experience of meeting her. Supervisor of all women’s dormitories, advisor to the Panhcllcnic Society, Dean Melville’s tasks are varied and demanding, yet individual student problems, academic or social, always have first call on her time. Whether it be in one of the Dean’s many private conferences with students or at a gala social occasion, her sympathy, resourcefulness, 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 Melville means to Boston University. 12 Dean KIhI c|Ii Melville (Mr .
