Dean Bartlett . .. Dean Umbreit In addition to his duties of keeping the University running smoothly, Edward R. Bartlett, Dean of the University, has assumed the task of advising the returning veterans-helping them meet their educa- tional problems and make the necessary adjustments to DePauw life. Dean Bartlett came to DePauw in 1923 as a professor of philosophy. The following year he became the head of the education department and in 1941 was appointed Dean of the University. A student of religion, Dean Bartlett strives to instill in students a culture based on the more serious, intellectual aspect of life. l . l DEAN EDWARD R.

Over at the Administration building there is a man whose formal title is Mr. Wk E. Umbreit, Secretary of Admissions, but how many of us know him by that formidable name. Rather, the man with the friendly smile and winning manner is known to all present DePauwites as Umbie. As Secretary of Admissions he contacts people interested in attending De- Pauw and looks after the necessary admis- sion papers for the newly enrolled students. It was his job that made him one of your first acquaintances at DePauw, but it was his willingness to help and genuine interest that made him one of your first friends.

Deen Dil-'ltzisz . . in ll oli l f DePauw's Dean of Men, l.ouis H. Dirks, is well-known about the campus for his likeable personality, his ability to remember names, and his deep under- standing of people. Always willing to help anyone, he readily gives conferences to students. Besides being Dean of Men, he is Director of Placement and Pro- fessor of Education. Dean Dirks takes an active part in campus life and in that of the community of Greencastle. Though the teconversion of DePauw to a peace- time university has thrown many addi- tional problems on to the shoulders of Dean Dirks, his capable and clear- sighted handling of them pointsgthe way to a greater DePauw. As Dean ol' VN'omen, Miss l.eota C. Colpitts faces many a dilemma with amazing courage and efiiciency. And keeping DePauw's feminine population in reasonable order is no small job. Any student would agree that campus post- war problems can be just as puzzling as those which were with us in the days of seven-thirty classes, Navy uniforms, and accelerated programs. Freshmen still lincfl a trip to the northeast corner of the Ad. building the best tonic for the dis- couragement that follows a poor grade average. Maybe lVl'iss Colpitts' success at remembering names is a result of this constant and devoted attention to each individual problem.
