EXECUTIVE COOPERATION Without the personal guidance of Denison ' s Deans, Denison students would lack a great deal of the character development they receive here. By his personal example and a strict and judicous enforcement of the Regulations of the University, Dr. Detweiler has consistently won favor among the men students at Denison. By his kindly reasoning he has brought many to see the logic of his attitude on student matters. Miss Olney has shown considerable wisdom and tact in her management of the problems arising in her department. By ratifying several new rules, brought to her attention by petitions from the women, she has kept Denison abreast of the times. Sophomores are now allowed to ride in cars, and senior women are allowed to drive their own cars, after Spring vacation this year. This tolerant attitude ' has found favor among the members of Shepardson college. Denison is indeed fortunate in having two such Deans as these. Dr. Detweiler assumed his duties as Dean in the fall of 1926, and for the past years has been serving in that capacity. He received his B. D. from Colgate-Rocheste school in 1908. 1917 he received his A. B. from Denison and his A. M divinit in 1919. Dr. Detweiler is interested personally in every Denison man, and has done a great deal toward vocational guidance with the seniors. Miss Olney came to Denison in the fall of 1931 and is now completing her fourth year as Dean. She received her B. S. at Denison and then went to Columbia : (ffl y for her A. M. degree. Her routine duties consist in advising incoming freshmen yy I in curricula. Her vocational advice is enthusiastically sought after by upperclas . ,„ , — ' women. Intelligent cooperation with the Women ' s Student Government is one Ip of the policies of the Dean ' s office and the success in this line has been notable. n J '

DR. AVERY ALBERT SHAW President It was a great honor to Denison when Dr. Shaw was elected president of the Northern Baptist Convention this year. He spends a great deal of his time in travel, speaking in Baptist churches all over the country. Dr. Shaw has succeeded in creating a great interest in Denison in this way. Dr. Shaw was an avid fan of the Denison football team this year. He missed cr few games, and when he did he sent the players letters of encouragement before the game. It was largely due to his influence that the much needed repairs on the stadium were carried through. Dr. Shaw is a true embodiment of the Denison spirit, always friendly and hecrful, and read at any time to offer his hospitality and advice to Denisonians. Dk.
