Sixty years ago, when Case students first started meeting at the Case homestead on the Pubhc Square, the school treasurer was Mr. Abbey. This job was soon taken over by Mr. Case, and later, when the college had moved to its present site. Prof. Eddy helped collect money. In 1936 Mr. Wilkes became official cashier of Case. Mr. Wilkes, a graduate of Miami University, was employed by the General Electric Co. and the Cleveland Trust Co. before coming to Case. Today, he is a familiar figure in Room 24 of the Main building, where he handles the finan- cial matters of the school. R. L. Wilkes In the comparatively short time that he has been represent- ative of publicity and placement, Mr. Moore has proven himself a most valuable asset to the school. His likeable character and pleasing personality have played no small part in this all important position as contact man between employers and seniors at Case. He has been able to help both parties obtain the best men and positions possible. J. J. Moore The responsibility of maintaining contact with Case alumni, and of editing the Case Alumnus rests on the broad shoulders of Charles Fredrich Chapman, better known as Chappie. Upon graduation from Ohio Wesleyan in 1929, Chappie came to Case as secretary of the Case Alumni Association, and since then has established himself as an integral part of the college. This past year he was elected vice-president of the Ameri- can Alumni Association and will have charge of the Associ- ation ' s Publication. C. F. Chapman 17

A tall, lanky freshman donned the then traditional class hat in the year 1888, and in so doing Theo- dore Moses Focke began his association with Case School of Applied Science. After graduation he accepted a position at Oberlin College. Then keeping in close contact with his Alma Mater, Dean Focke was lured back to Case after a five year absence, accepting a position on the Case faculty as Professor of Mathematics. There are few Case men who have served their college with the vigorous spirit which Dean Focke has shown in forming his long and excellent record. Dr. T. M. Fockt? Holding the official title of Assistant Dean, Larry Mills has become an important factor in much of the administration work connected with the fresh- man class. Mr. Mills has been holding his position for the past eight years, during which time his principal duties have been dean of freshmen and lecturer on Case in secondary schools. A graduate of Kenyon College, Dean Mills con- tinued his education with additional work at Ohio State University. He came to Case in 1928 as an instructor in freshman history, and continued in ihat capacity until 1932, when he became the first man to fill the new position of Assistant Dean. L. W. Mills 1 6

DEPRRTinenT heads Case is indeed fortunate that it has so many able leaders and nationally known men on its faculty. With so many diversified interests at Case, it becomes a problem for each department to cultivate a feeling of mutual understanding between faculty and students. It has been only through the untiring efforts of these faculty leaders that the spirit of informality among students and profs has come into existence on the Case campus. Strange it is to the freshmen who hear the professors and instruc- tors addressed as doc or called by their first name. The numerous departments on the campus may be divided into four major divisions — science, engineering, liberal arts, and physical education. Thus a Case graduate is not only an engi- neer. He has been trained in the complexities of science; his general education has been broadened by his studies of the arts; and his body has been physically developed through his train- ing in gymnastics and athletic sports. : . t i. h OCKt, Ph.D. :.;fson, k.a.
