In charge of nine hundred young women and an expanding campus, Dean Pierrel still finds time to continue her program of teaching and research in psychology. She conducts an IC section and some graduate courses, and is noted in her Held for experiments in the psychology of learning. Her teaching and research, and her constant contact with Pembroke alumnae and with other institutions, account in part for her unusually sound perspective. 1

Eventually seems a normal part 0 the bound and benumbed figure f the campus scene. By con- trast, President Keeney's talent for turning respon- sibilities into opportunities appears all the more remarkable. His work as president of Brown Uni- versity has three aspects: first, running the ad- ministrative machinery, second, linking the Uni- versity to the outside world, and third, leading the creative and contemplative life required of mem- bers of an academic community. This heavy re- sponsibility makes its demands on him at all times, but such is his ability to extend himself that the topic on which he addressed last summer's Alumni College was Leisure. President Keeneyls scholarly accomplishments are well known. He is on the executive board of the Medieval Academy of America, and his book, Judgment by Peers, is on the syllabus of Brown's course in medieval history. ' y His unique accomplishments were summed up at Ohio University last I une, where he was awarded an honorary L.H.D. as an Academic Statesman whose keen understanding of higher education, whose courage to act, and whose sense of style have added new lustre to the distinguished name of Brown. His thoughtful analyses, laced with needle-sharp wit, have made him an articulate spokesman for quality education. In today's com- plex, changing world, Barnaby Conrad Keeney stands out as an educational leader.
