E. Schultz, Jr., missing from picture. BEHIND THE SCENES Little understood and less recognized, the Board of Trustees of Elmhurst College does its work quietly and efficiently, meeting on the campus four times a year. It meets in the Student Christian Associ- ation room in Old Hall, discussing faculty, curriculum, finances, buildings, grounds, and future plans during its day long sessions. Most of its detailed business is transacted through the executive committee, composed of Rev. Ernst, Mr. Woldhausen, Mr. Rasche, Rev. Frankenfeld, and Mrs. Pister. The officers of the board are: Rev. John L. Ernst, chairman; Rev. J. P. Meyer, vice- chairman; Rev. Erwin R. Koch, secretary; and Mr. W. L. Woldhausen, comptroller- treasurer. The other standing committees of the board and their personnel are: the faculty and curriculum committee: Rev. Frankenfeld, Rev. Meyer, Mr. Jans, and Rev. Koch; the finance committee: Rev. Kircher, Mr. Schu- macher, Mr. Woldhausen, and Rev. Rolf; the building and grounds committee: Mr. Rasche, Mrs. Pister, Rev. F. H. Klemme. The devotedness of the board to its charge is seen by the fact that three of its members have been serving for fifteen years, seven for at least ten years, and the latest members have been serving for three years. The two additional men represented in the above picture are: Dr. Goebel, the presi- dent of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, and Dr. Klick, president of the Evan- gelical Synod of North America. Working side by side with the board and the college administration is the Elm- hurst-Eden Advance, the endowment office of the college. Transferred just this year from its space in the basement of the library, the E.E.A. now occupies its own office in the north end of the first floor of Old Hall. Here Mr. Earl Kircher, field director. Miss Marguerite Belz, custodian, and Mrs. Alma Schaeffer, office manager, handle corre- spondence, collect, file, and redeem pledges and the myriad other details necessary to handling the endowment campaigns for a four year liberal arts college and a three year theological seminary.

ADMINISTRATION The traditional bogies of a college campus — the president of the college and the deans — are in evidence also at Elm- hurst, if one believes the college directory and can read the lettering on their respec- tive office doors; but to know the people who answer to these titles at Elmhurst is to know that they belie the fearsome titles they hold. President Timothy Lehmann, serving his eleventh year as executive head of the col- lege, has the kindly, yet firm, air of a true counsellor. Always busy, he is yet never too busy to congratulate some member of the college family honored for achievement in any field, to encourage a less fortunate student, who finds college life adjustment difficult, or to advise a perplexed or dilemma- faced undergraduate. Suggestions, made valuable by years of experience, are avail- able to individuals, campus organizations, and student body for the asking. His occasional chapel addresses are in- spiring and valuable to the young men and women learning to live under as favorable conditions as the college can provide. The weekly winter teas in the president ' s home are welcome features of the social calendar and serve admirably as proving grounds for the art of social living in its more formal aspects. The deans, in direct touch with student problems through their own classes, are well fitted, both by training and personality, to guide the young men and young women of the college community to better efforts iri living and learning. Both strict disciplinarians, Dean Mueller and Dean Staudt maintained good order Dean Mueller Dean Staudt President Timothy Lehmann more by suggestion and implication than by direct command. An earnest desire to have each student reap the full reward of a good education led the deans to devote weeks at the begin- ning and end of each school year to in- coming students and to advanced ones, sug- gesting courses of study, methods of study, and plans for improvement. Dean Mueller ' s pleasant, drawlin g tones softened the hurt of his infrequent rebukes though they did not lessen their effectiveness. More welcome, of course, were the words of kindly advice available to all who needed them. Dean Staudt, Dean of Women, is a fav- orite of women and men alike. Always cheerful, she was a wonderful friend to the residents of Irion Hall. Page Fifteen
