PSfe PIKES PEAK NUGGET NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTV NINE Dean Hershey Dean Crouch Dean of Men Without attempting to give a detailed list of duties, it might be said that any wide variation from normal conduct or performance among the men of the college is of interest to the Dean of Men. This does not mean that he seeks a high degree of standardization in everything that affects the men of the college. In many instances the variation is highly desirable and is en- couraged. But a certain degree of regimentation is necessary wherever a consider- able group is working together. Perhaps the Dean of Men is a kind of time and quality keeper for the men in Colorado College. He is interested in seeing that work is done with reasonable promptness and that the quality does not fall too far below accepted standards. But there is always a pe- culiar delight in serving the original, ambitious student and the prospective scholar. Dean of Women The social life of the young women has always been one of the distinctive pictures of Colorado College. Out-of-town students live in the four dormi- tories: McGregor, Montgomery, Ticknor and Bemis Hall. The large com- mon dining room in Bemis, with the after dinner coffee hour on Sunday makes possible a spirit of democracy and good fellowship. Life in the dormitories is regulated by Student Government and a member of the faculty is hostess in each hall. At various times during the year there are large all-girl parties. The outdoor recreations of the students, however, are emphasized more than the indoor parties. In the sponsor system the younger girls come to know the older students, and resident faculty members share not only the pleasures of student life, but they frequently help in the solution of student problems. Indeed, There is no place like Colorado College for a girl! 21

Pfo PIKES PEAK NUGGET NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTV NINE Mr. Ormes Coburn Library The Coburn Library, which was opened in March, 1894, has seen many changes. This year, the most notable one was the opening of the library for students who wished to study at night. In addition to other im- portant purchases, the librarian has continued collecting material on Western History. The last addition was a collection of the private laws of the Territory of Kansas. This contains interesting charters for stage lines, toll gates, and other pioneer projects. The next change hoped for is a new building where there will be ample space for all trie books which, for the present have to be stored. There was one cnange in the library personnel: Beatrice Sims was granted a leave of absence and will return in September. Helen Trumbull has taken her place. Miss Ruth Edwards has also been added to the staff, having charge of the library in the evening. Department of Mathematics The senior members of the department of Mathe- matics have been active this year in writing. Professor Sisam has published a book, Recent Advances in Alge- braic Geometry, in co-operation with several other mathematicians. He, by special request, will read a paper, as a delegate of the American Mathematical Society, at the International Mathematical Congress at Bolgona, Italv, this summer. Professor Lovitt, besides contributing widely to mathematical journals, has written a book entitled Mathematics in Business. Professor Albright has continued to make curves showing distribution of grades. Prof. Sisam Prof. Clark Department of Business The Judson M. Bemis Department of Business Ad- ministration and Banking has just completed a very active and successful year. The department was headed this year by Professor L. Funston Clark, taking the place of Professor Drucker, who is on a leave of absence. The department continued its custom of taking groups of students to neighboring cities to study at first hand the activities of large industrial and mercantile enterprises carried on there. All of the classes in business, economics, and socio- logy this year had a surprisinglv large increase in enrollment figures over those of last year. 13 31
