D. STRATTON of Men DEA OF M N THE YOUNG MAN ENTERING COLLEGE is somewhat like the mass of potential material placed before the sculptor. When the sculptor possesses the outstanding qualities and the ability to bring out the completeness of the material before him- his job is done. Our sculptor is Drexel Institute. One of its leaders of outstanding ability is the Dean of Men, Dr. Leon D. Stratton. Now in his fortieth ylear of service to Drexel and its students, Dean Stratton has done the job annually, and has become a tradif tion and somewhat of an institution in himself. In addition to his administrative duties, Dr. Stratton serves as Chairman of the Committee for Coordination of the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Depart' ments, Chairman of the Public Observance Committee, and Chairman of the Scholar' ships, Awards, and Loans Committee. The Dean also finds time to teach and to participate in various student activities. The Men's Student Council, the Blue Key honorary society, and the Drexel Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers are among the organizations which have Dr. Stratton as their advisor. Dr. Stratton's multifarious duties and activities provide him with ample and welcome opportunities for meeting and serving the youth of Drexel. Twentyfeight

Leadership is not new to Dr. Crecse, for his abilities were tested when he devoted time and energy by serving as an officer in the Field Artillery. He supplemented his education by receiving a Master's degree in 1921 at Princeton University. Since then many honors have been presented to Dr. Creese. Dr. Creese was knighted by King Gustav V of Sweden, for his outstanding work with the American'Scandinavian Foundation. Later, Stevens Institute offered him a vicefpresidency, which he held until 1945 when Drexel, always alert for men of high proficiency, called upon him to fill its presidency. Dr. Creese has the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, from Colby Col' lege 119441, Temple University 119461, and the University of Pennsylvania 419475. He has also been made an honorary Doctor of Pedagogy by Hahnef mann Medical College. Dr. Creese has furnished the impetus to lead us to greater goals. He has helped us to develop the confidence we need to solve the many problems which confront us, PRESIDENT JAMES CREESE 'ffffffffs l g:5:s:f:z l gzfziz3:ig23:I:fzQ:iz5:IgI3:5:::f:f:Ig:::5:::5:f:f:I:1g:3:::f5:f:1:fg2g:3:5:f:5:Jg:::3:7:f:f:f:i:Ig:g:,:5:f:3:3:f:3325::f:f:5:5g1g:5:5:j:f:f:3:2:2g:g:3:::f:f:1:5:Ip!gIg::: .79-:-1-5.g.g.3.:.-1-Z-5.5.5.:.5.3.-:-:.g.g.3.3.5.-:-:-3.3.3.::':-:-:-:Vg.g.5.-:-5-1.34.35.5.-:-:-3-3.1.3.31-2-:-:q.g.5.5.-:-:-:-g.g.3.:.3.3:V:-:.g.g.3.3.3.-59:45 ' - 3.5.5-:-:-5.3.5.3.5Z-:-:-g-5.g.3.5.-Z-:-:-3.3.3,-1-3-5.g,3.3.-5-1-:-145.5.:.-:-3-g.g.g.3.3.3.5:-:-:.g.g.3.:.-:-:-:4g.g.3.:.fri-:-f.5.:.3.:.5.-:-:-g.5g.5.3.-Ir:-1-:r

DEAN OF OM N DEAN DOROTHY YOUNG came to Drexel from Bucknell University in 1945. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from New York University, and a Master's degree in Student Personnel Administration from Teachers College, Columbia University. Her experiences have been varied. She has been a teacher, counselor, and administrator. Besides the personal counseling, which includes her interviews with all freshman women, Mrs. Young advises the important Women's Student Gov' ernment here at Drexel, and also the United Nations Student Council. She is particularly interested in these two groups and derives a great deal of satisfaction from her advisory role with them. During October she attended the Herald Tribune Forum in New York, and was accorded the honor of a seat on the dais because of her previous committee work under the American Association of University Women. While there, she had the experience of being televised along with the speakers. The subject of this forum was 'LOur Imperiled Resources. This is a subject in which Mrs. Young is immensely interested, as our human resources -our young people-are our most valuable American asset. MRS. DOROTHY R. YOUNG Dean of Women
