Publications and M uhiicity Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, director-in-residence, serves for the formal structure of the college much the same function as does the president of the Under- graduate Association for the student society. She copes with speakers and all forms of imported entertainment. She serves as clearing house for practically all campus information. She presides over the editing of all official administra- tive campus puhlications. Miss Cary tends to the more journalistic part of the publicity department ' s functions. It is she who releases pictures and names to the public press. She directed the College movie. On Monday mornings Mrs. Chadwick-Collins and Miss Cary meet with Miss Park, Mrs. Manning, Miss Howe, the editor of the Alumnae Bulletin, and the editor of the College News to pool their information about past and future college events. 13

The Alumnae Association The Alumnae Association does a great deal more for the college than appears to the casual observer. They give large sums of money for the general use of the college; they bring in appropriate and useful students and support them while they are here, and by their achievements they bring to the college excellent publicity. The Association has a central executive board consist- ing of seven members, and a larger group, the Council, which is made up of all the people with offices in the Association. The Council succeeds in coordinating all the activities of the Association, and in furthering the understanding between the alumnae and the undergraduates. The standing committees, on Academic matters, Finance, Scholarships and Loan Fund, and Health and Physical Education, are an important part of the Association. These committees confer largely with the president and appropriate members of the faculty, deciding the policies in these matters. The Association is further divided into regional groups which choose the regional scholars and raise funds. Individual members can keep in touch with the campus through the Alumnae Bulletin, returning to the college for the annual fall alumnae week-end, and through members on the Board of Directors and on the College Council. Much of the work of the Association at college is done in consultation with the President, the Dean, and the Publicity offices. 12

Tit Office of the JDean Dean Manning serves as the humanizing link between the student and her requirements. She must resolve conflicts, temper enthusiasms, encourage the hesitant, and personally deliver the sad news in cases of failure or want of merits. She meets with the student curriculum committee to discuss their proposals. As head of the Health Department she or Miss Ward writes to anxious parents when overwork or overplay sends us to the Infirmary. 14
