KEEPING Case foremost in industry's eye, producing a well-rounded college graduate, running Case on a sound financial basis, are some of the problems which confront the Board of Trustees. ln striving to achieve an administration which is capable of instructing a youn'g man to be the finest engineer, the Board brought an increased number of degree-holding faculty members to the campus this year. Running hand in hand with a strong faculty is the best in industrial relations. The many educa- tional conferences held here during the past year exemplified the elTorts of the Trustees in keeping Case in contact with industry. Mr. Austin L. Vanderhoff, President of A. L. Vanderhoff Inc., and Mr. Ralph M. Hunter, Manager of the Electro-Chemical Division of the Dow Chemical Company and of the class of l9i8, were the two new members elected to the board this year. Mr. Sam Emerson, a Case alumnus of the class of l902, entered into his third year as chairman. The board, through its policy of selecting its members from the prominent men in industry, has projected Case to a position of esteem in the business world, affording its graduates the maximum opportunity to achieve success in their chosen field. Truly our Case of the future lies in capable hands. i9 Board of rustees

DR. Elmer S. Hutchisson-Case's internationally known acting President-dean of the faculty-director of research and the graduate division-has completed his second successful year as acting head of the college. The first Case alumnus to hold this post, he has brought recognition to Case through his editorship of the Journal of Applied Physics and his trips abroad in connection with the International Abstraction of Physics conferences. Dr. Hutchisson came to Case in i944 from the University of Pittsburgh, where he served as head of the physics department. On leave from the University of Pittsburgh during the last war, he served as chief technical aide to the National Defense Research Committee and engaged in special research on underwater warfare. As the dean of the faculty, Dr. Hutchisson has always shown an active interest in the two things that are now the maior goals during his administration: a growing program of research and advanced study and better relations with industry. Doing an admirable job during the absence of President T. Keith Glennan, Dr. Hutchisson has won the admiration and respect of the students by his friendly and understanding leadership. 18

DEAN OF STUDENTS Dean S Newhouse I I I 4ez4dmcn DEAN S. Newhouse, Dean of Students, is finish- ing his third year at Case as the most important link between students and faculty. His qualifi- cations include eighteen successful years work- ing with students of the college level. This ex- perience has proved invaluable to him in his constant contact with Case undergraduates through direction of the student personnel pro- gram. Dean Newhouse's grip on Casey begins at the beginning-recruiting. He is chairman of the Committee on Admissions and Academic Requirements, the Student Affairs Committee, and the Committee on Financial Aids, Under- graduate Scholarships, and Prizes, and he su- pervises either directly or indirectly student ex- tracurricular activities, Tomlinson Hall, the New Dormitory, and the Student Health Service. He finds himself involved in fireside chats with fra- ternities, rallyside chats with the boosters organ- ization, and just plain chats with many of the campus leaders. I A FAMILIAR figure to both freshmen and upper- classmen alike with his quiet voice and ever- present pipe, Assistant Dean of Students John R. Valley has as his responsibilities duties concern- ing many phases of school life. Stressed throughout all the Dean's contacts is the basic idea that Case is personal development. The first inkling of his touch is felt immediately by incoming students as they encounter Fresh- man Week with its planned lectures and psy- chological and aptitude tests, the direct respon- sibility of Dean Valley. Throughout the first year the students have an open invitation to discuss with him at any time their academic, vocational, or psychological problems. Assist- ing him in this better-than-man-size iob are eleven faculty members, the freshman advisers. As instructor in psychology and technical ad- viser to Tau Beta Pi in their faculty evaluation poll, Dean Valley continues his contact with Case men throughout the undergraduate pro- gram. 20 ASSISTANT DEAN OF STUDENTS John R.
