Administration F ROM THE TIME we enter college life as eager freshmen until our senior year when we have reached the portals of maturity, the Dean of the College follows our academic progress with a per- sonal interest. He coordinates the instructional pro- gram, organizes and directs summer session courses, and plans ofF-campus extension courses including the York Hospital Extension class and the Harrisburg Center in collaboration with Lebanon Valley College and Temple University. He guides students in place- ment at the end of their college careers. All students, freshmen and seniors alike, are well acquainted with the Business Manager who directs the bookkeeping of student accounts. In addition to the maintenance of campus facilities and supervising the purchasing of college supplies, he manages the central business office in which the general clerical activities of the college are conducted. The College Treasurer serves in another capacity as director and coordinator of the Ten Year Devel- opment Program. His capability in management is also revealed in his excellent organization of the Grocers ' School and the School for Restaurateurs which were held as special evening courses during the fall and winter months.
