Young, has a pleasing person- ality and a keen understanding, which have dispelled the fears of many an uneasy fresh- man. Those who visit her office are often SUI'- prised to find that her busy schedule is always flexible enough to allow an extra moment. Deeply interested in her girls, Dean Young still finds time for what might be called extra- curricular activities. She participates in the United Nations Student Council and is a favor- ite speaker at the meetings of the Women's Division of the Hoover Commission. The Dean His efforts to help those who seek his advice have made the Dean of Men 'widely known for his interest in student problems. His energy and enthusiasm for every undertaking are evi- denced by his participation in the activities of various committees. Fortunate are the home economics students who have the benefit of his doctorate in chemistry -- an excellent qualifi- cation for any lecturer. With all of these activities to claim his time, Dean Stratton always finds time for a moment's friendly conversation as he passes through the Court. Mrs. Dorothy Rice Yound Decm of Women

Wm, .,,M MWMVWMW DREXEI. INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PHILADELPHIA OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT To Drexel Men and Women: ' In each term of the college year, five hundred or more Drexel students are so placed in business and industry that they can see for themselves what are the requirements and opportunities in the professional work for which they are preparing and which they have already undertaken. Their experiences, portrayed at several places in the l950 LEXERD, are as much a part of the Drexel plan of education as are the engagements in college laboratories and classrooms. The central purposes of Drexel Institute of Tech- nology are well represented by our cooperative plan of educa- tion. Students under that plan, including all in the College of Engineering and many in other college curricula, must spend a prescribed number of college terms at work in industrial laboratories, manufacturing plants, stores, business offices, and other places of professional employment. The spirit of the plan carries over into everything we do, causing students and faculty to be mindful of the interplay of theory and practice. The exceptional opportunities offered here for higher technological education are indicated in a comment which I had some time ago from the head of one of the larger British technical colleges. After visiting universities and tech- nical schools all over the United States, in Canada, New Zealand, and.Australia, he summed up his observations in these words: 'I was very impressed with the advanced views on higher technological education which prevailed in your Institute, particularly on the fundamental relations between the Insti- tute and industry.' He thought he had not sensed elsewhere so complete an understanding of the necessary alliances between higher technical education and the professions of modern industry. For evidence of the vitality and enjoyment of under- graduate affairs here, even of classroom affairs, turn the pages of this book. Sincerely yours.
