According to the physical laws of our uni- verse, it is impossible to place two objects in a space designed for one. When someone suc- ceeds in placing three objocts in a space do- signed for one, that is better news than the proverbial man bites dog. Such, however, has been going on under our very eyes, and achiev- ing very little notice, as the hard-working ad- ministrative staff of the College has been handling the problem of educating 30.000 stu- dents in a school designed for one-third that number. Heading the staff is Dr. Harry N. Wright, a former mathematics professor at the College, who has been President since 1942. Dr. Wright's chief aide is Dr. John J. Theobald, Dean of Administration since 1946. Ranking directly below the President in the Administrative hierarchy are the four academic deans, the Dean of Students, the Registrar, the Librarian, the Directors of Summer and Evening Sessions and the Business Manager. Each of these men heads a unit with a complicated in- ternal structure. For instance, Mr. Robert L. Taylor is officially the College Registrar, but actually, he is only concerned with registration in the Main Center, day session. The Department of Student Life, which serves the vital function of advising undergraduates and assisting alumni, was organized under the leadership of Dean of Students Daniol F. Brophy in the Fall of 1946. The department is divided into five subdivisions; Testing and Guidance. Doan Egbert M. Turner Dean William Allan Robert L. Taylor, Registrar

Student Activities. Veterans' Counsel- ling, Placement, and Health Guidance. Testing and Guidance, headed by Dr. Louis Long, ably assisted by Dr. Lavange Richardson and Dr. Miriam Farios. administers entrance examina- tions and givos guidance to students. Dr. S. L. Crawley, Associate Dean of Students, heads Student Activities, with Assistant Doan J. Peace and Mrs. E. Junken to help him in the Day and Eve- ning Sessions, respectively. Veterans' Counselling handles the problems of veterans attending the school undor P.L. 16 and P.L. 346 under the leadership of Mr. Stuart Clarkson. Placement, a favor- ite hang-out for hopeful seniors, is under the aegis of Messrs. Burton Shotter (graduate placement) and John Ryan (undergraduate placement). Aiding han- dicapped students with thoir special problems in school is Dr. C. Roth, head of Health Guidance. Also connected with Student Life is Dr. Frank Shuttleworth, former Acting Associate Dean of Stu- dents, who is currently conducting a study of the effectiveness of college entrance examinations. The Department of Student Life, like the administrative staff, faces the prob- lem of lack of funds. Spread out in the different buildings of the college, the Department hopes to consolidate and thereby improve its efficiency. As part of its campaign to relievo con- gested conditions in the Scionco and Technology courses, the College has re- quested tho construction of a new Me- chanical Arts Building. The City Planning Commission has approved the request, but money will not bo appropriated for the project until 1954. The Planning Commission, however, has allocated the necessary funds to complete the College library. These funds will be available in 1953. The school might have been forced to curtail its activities considerably, were it not for the heavy influx of veterans, who. through funds derived from the G.I. Bill of Rights, provided about one- third of the total operating costs in 1947. The veterans, however, are graduat- ing, and anticipated fodoral funds for 1948 are about one million dollars less than the year before. College adminis- trative officials therefore look hopefully to Albany, where the State Legislature can considerably alleviate the crowded conditions by authorizing state aid to tho College, the public institution with the largost enrollment in the state.
