She stimulates them to greater effort in scholar- ship and cooperation with them in their social prob- lems. She comforts the homesick, the heartsick and sometimes the lovesick. She loves girls.

Harrison V. Hoyt, E. E., M. B. A. Dean of the Col lege of Commerce and Business Administration The College of Commerce and Business Administra- tion, under the Deanship of H. V. Hoyt, is recognized as having placed into the business field, during the 3 years of its existence, men who are wholly capable to meet with practical problems and to fill respons- ible positions with merit. The close cooperation of intermountain business firms has made possible the practical application of the business training. The demand for the graduate of this college is not wholly local and far exceeds the present number. The standard of work done and thoroughness of training justifies the excellent rating which this college of our University is rapidly obtaining. M. C. Merrill, Ph. D. Dean of College of Applied Science The College of Applied Science provides instruc- tion in the scientific principles and technical opera- tions pertaining to the farm, home, shop and all prof- fessions related to them. Under the efficient leader- ship of Dean Merrill, who has received extensive training and professional experience, this recently created College has won much distinction; and in spite of its youth now ranks third in membership among the various colleges of the University. Lowry Nelson, B. S. Director of Extension Division The service of the Extension Division is invaluable in carrying the message of fruits of education to those who do not have the opportunity to do residence work. Director Nelson has spared no effort in his attempt to develop and expand this department. Through its three divisions Social Service, Correspond- ence Instruction, Lectures and Enetertainments, the in- fluence of the Y has been carried to thousands of students and citizens of the intermountain country.
