DEANS OF THE UNIVERSITY Dean Riven hur Dr. Romeyn H. Rivenburg, Dean and Vice-President, earned his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees at Buck- nell. After his graduation with the dis- tinction of Summa Cum Laude, he took advanced work at Harvard and Cornell. Following this, he was appointed head- master of Peddie School. In 1923 he was called back to his alma mater to accept the position of Dean. In this capacity. Dean Rivenburg has earned distinction for himself as an executive and as an understanding friend of all. Dean Rivenburg. Tlie Otlier D eans Bucknell is unusually fortunate in hav- ing three exceptionally capable Deans. Mrs. Dorothy T. Dyer, Dean of Women, has held positions at the Universities of Minnesota and Ohio State. The possessor of an M. A. in Psychology, she has pub- lished a study of her own in this field. Dr. Ralph E. Page, Dean of Men, came to this position last fall as a successor to Dr. Sutherland. His acceptance of the office placed this Deanship in the hands of a veteran in student affairs. Dr. Wil- liam A. Shimer also was appointed to his position as Dean of the Faculty last fall. He is the first man to hold this newly- created position at Bucknell. Deans Page, Dyer, Shimer, Thirteen • • ' • ' I ' •m

ati THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE To Bucknell Students of 1941: You were born at a time when the young men and women of my college generation thought we had helped to reshape a broken world m which you and your children might enjoy an era of cooperation and freedom and peace. Unfortunately, it appears that we must pass through another valley in civilization ' s long march upward. This time you will go with us as partners, no longer as children. There is but one pathway to those uplands of civilized cooperation. We Bucknellians like to call it the Bucknell Way of Life, by which we mean the way of intelligence, of integrity, and of brotherhood. This issue of L ' Agenda is the record of 1300 Bucknell Students who are traveling that Way of Life during a difficult year with high spirits and steady loyalty. My hat is off to you in appreciation and admiration. February 8, 1941 Q.) k i
