Prexy kept fifty-one speech appointments last year, speaking to about ten colleges, and at five academic meetings. Arranging Prexy's schedule, typing approximately 4,000 letters annually and recording all board and committee meetings keeps Secretary Kurt Taylor busy. Prexy Upholds Wooster Traditions. While Wooster boys are sniping in Australia, bombing in the Solomons, and gunning in Africa for the preservation of humanity, Prexy in Wooster is fighting his own battle for the maintenance of the liberal arts college and its cultural ideals. The year, l942, time of headaches and heartaches, ended with a partial victory for him. Mainly through his efforts, six hundred navy pre-flight students supplemented the slowly decreasing student body. The inevitable changes that followed were quick and extensive, but the important thing to Prexy and the students is that there is still a Wooster. Now Prexy can continue giving his convocation welcomes, speaking in chapel, attending academic conventions, appeasing the Board of Trustees, spreading the Wooster spirit. More than that, he can continue fighting for the College of 'Wooster in his traditional fashion.

Deans 3 o Duties Doubled Our three deans lead a double life as administrators and teachers. Besides his duties of organizing curriculum changes, planning chapel programs, and substituting for Prexy in his absence, Dean Westhafer heads the physics department. Advice on the Navy V-l, V-5, V-7, and Marine Corps programs has been the something new added to Dean Bruere's hectic life of supervising the men's dormitories, conferring with errant students on disciplinary matters, and teaching flight navigation for the navy. Technically, Dean MacKenzie is the counsellor of all women students, the caretaker of the social calendar, a member of eight or ten faculty committees, and the literary critic in the advanced composition and novel COLIFSGS. Dean MacKenzie attended Wells and Radcliffe Colleges. She is the keeper of the famous date book- unbeknowns to Mr. Moore. She claims that the book avoids social conflicts, keeps the use of the buildings straight, and records the college activities. Dean Westhafer has close associ- ations with deans of other colleges through his administrative work. l-le has published articles of a semi-scientific and educative na- ture in magazines and done re- search on the physical properties of molilodomite.
