BANYAN ' 31 Dean of Women The work of the Dean of Woiiicii is willi the whole life of the student. It is the special duty of the dean to har- monize and fuse the professional ideals with the personal; she must not only look to see whether the essential influences of the school are reaching the individual and getting heal- thy reactions from her, hut she must interpret them to her, fill gaps, apply additional empha- sis where there is need. The dean ' s conferences are but one means of setting up this consciousness. They should integrate the work of the class room, the social units, the free activities, the home life of the girl in all of which the dean plays an impor- tant, if somewhat inconspicuous, role. Consideration of health, of dress and manners, of social relations, of community responsibilities and benefits from the standpoint of the individ- ual life should be blended with the consideration of problems as they affect the members of the home, the group, and the family; the recognition of the supreme profession of woman as citizen, home maker, mother. NETTIE NEFF SMART Dean uj Women V V [15] To know Dean Smart is to know the more conserva- tive spirit of Brig- ham Young Uni- versity, as the Dean of Women is ever the guardian of the fine and high stand- ards of the institu- tion. Contact with her ever brings the student back to a clear realization that after all there is treasure in the more sterling char- acter o f strictly high standard.

V ; ' K )- I W BANYAN ' 31 Summer School The aim of the Summer Session of the Brigham Young University is essentially the same as that of the school year since the ses- sion has grown into a regular university quar- ter. The summer session presents a liberal of- fering of courses in many lines. In fact, prac- tically every department in the university of- fers courses during this session. The regular DR. H. M. WOODWARD Dean of Siininier School staff is always supplemented by visiting edu- cators and lecturers of national reputation. The session offers an opportunity for regular students to continue their work for degrees and also makes it possible for teachers to fill in all the state requirements. The session is divided into two terms, the first of which is held at the university plant in Provo. This term covers a period of six weeks and offers to the students an unusual opportunity to combine study, recreation and profitable social con- tact. Brigham Young University is very fortunate in being located in Provo — the heart of Utah County. Provo, from every angle, is a splendid summer school town. Because of its unusually fine climate and its great variety of fruits, flowers and trees it has long been called the Garden City. It is located in the heart of outdoor attractions. From the university campus, roads radiate in all directions along which outdoor pleasures may be found. Its nearness to several points of natural interest — Utah Lake, Tim- panogos Mountain, Mt. Nebo, and the various canyons in- viting outers — make it one of the finest centers for summer study that can be found any- where in the world. Moonlight hikes, excursions to vari- ous points of inter- est, lake regattas, sports attractions, and its many varied advantages isolate Provo and Brigham Young University as an ideal place for summer study.

■ I r J V BANYAN ' 31 lAMES A. CULLIMORE President Student Government Fortunate indeed were the Associated Students of Brigham Young University to have as their head for the year 1930-31 an in- dividual who has real- ly felt the responsihil- ity of his position, and who has studied the needs of the students as a group in order more completely to dis- charge his duties. He has never shirked his responsibility, and, on the other hand, has taken a lethargic stu- dent body and has animated it until big things have been accomplished in almost every field of student activity. James Cullimore, A. S. B. Y. U. President, deserves a hand for the splendid results of his administration. The various student programs during the year have been of an unusu- ally high standard. In contrast to the Monday and Wednesday assemblies, which were sparsely attended, the Friday gatherings have always found an overflow of College Hall. The big reason for this demands untold praise for the consistent work of Bernice Barton, vice president, who never failed n her duty of preparing attractive programs on Fridays. A new feature which was inaugurated this year was the exchange of programs with the sister institutions of higher learning in Utah. It is ex- pected that the practice will grow with the years. The feature has a most commendable end in that it encourages more harmonious and friendlv rela- tionship with the student bodies of the other institutions of tlie state.
