President I-I. B. Williams, in his capacity as president, supervises and coordinates the functions of these three administrative divisions into one harmonious whole, and to his deep interest in young people and his enthusiasm for educational opportunities for them, is due, again, in no small measure, the Fine reputation and vigorous progress which this college enjoys.

l or n I. p-.gf-.-,-.M W. C. Jordan Myerholtz Stallbohm Jordan il Brod The administrative functions of Bowling Green State College are divided into four parts. The clerical worlc is done by the Business and Registrar's Offices, under the direction of Mr. Jordan and Mr. Perry, respectively. No student will forget the penciled signature, Gertrude Brod on his registration receipt, nor will he forget the charming courtesy of Mr. Perry as he turns to your problem of schedule or chapel assignment, nor does anyone leave the registrar's office without an increased measure of good will inspired by the friendly cheerfulness of Miss Leedom who is ever ready to go an extra mile to find that mislaid blanlc or last semester's registration card. The courtesy and ease that characterize these two offices, together with the efficiency of their worlc, leave a decidedly pleasing and refresh- ing impression upon those who come in contact with them. The second administrative division is that of the two colleges. The College of Edu- cation is conducted under the able supervision and personal enthusiasm of Dean Clyde I-lissong, to whom no small measure of credit is due for the character and ability of the graduates from Bowling Green. The College of Liberal Arts, created by legislative act in 1930 offers to Bowling Green students the advantages of a broad liberal training intended to make their lives richer and fuller in meaning and valuesi this college is under the leadership of Dean James R. Overman. 1 The third administrative division, that of personal supervision and social planning, is constructively carried on by Dr. James R. Overman, Dean of Men, and Mrs. Maude F. Sharpe, Dean of Women. Dean Sharpe had the misfortune to suffer ill health during the early part of the second semester, but her guiding function was assumed and well performed by the self-governing Women's League. Dean Sharpe builds the social calendar and directs the social activities of the college, and here again, she leaves much to the student Social Committee, thus fostering self-dependence and self-direction on the part of the student body so far as possible. Dean Overman also is well fitted to his office of personal guidance. i V 5. at C. D. Perry V, Registrar i' J' u 12 ADMINISTRATION

Read not to contradict and conlute, nor believe and take for granted,-but to weigh and consider , deeply graven across the front ol our Library, expresses the fundamental meaning of the College ol Liberal Arts. Written by the Renais- sance philosopher, Francis Bacon, this quotation embodies the spirit ol the re-awaltened intellectual freedom which liberated men From the blind surrender to superstitions and destructive customs to which they had been subjected. The function ot a liberal education, as restated through the centuries has been to develop within the individual the ability to weigh and consider that which surrounds him, that he may establish a point ol view about which to correlate the many phenomena of his life. ln this sense, he acquires a measure ol personal power and mastery as he becomes oriented with respect to the forces and relationships composing his environment, and as his conduct grows more meaningful, he becomes in a truer sense an intelligently moral and social being. 14
