Expert sociologist, vocational adviser, and man of abundant common sense, Dean Mueller goes about his manifold duties with ease and calm- ness. His apparently unruffled, serene appearance is an effective camouflage for efficient handhng of the difficulties which trouble his adopted family, while his own youngsters provide prac- tical demonstration material for his sociology classes. Despite his overburdened schedule, the Dean nevertheless always has time for smoothing personal rough spots, lending a hand where needed. Respected and admired, he is the per- sonification of earnest endeavor. His word is final law on all curriculum matters. Theophil W. Mueller, D.D. Dean and Registrar, 1921 Blessed with unlimited capacities of under- standing and sympathy, and possessing a pro- found insight into human nature. Dean Staudt is housemother and counselor to the coeds in Irion Hall and others. Always ready with a smile and kind word for anyone, she likes to have mixed groups up to her room for evening snacks, often treats sleepy girls to Sunday morn- ing breakfast, and readily loans her scale out to weight-conscious gals (and others). Her inter- ests take in a wide territory, and she ' s partial to service men. Lenient and tactful with the proper amount of discipline, she ' s an indispen- sable part of our campus. Genevieve Staudt, M.A. Dean of Women, 1931 19

ADMINISTRATION A s director and president on our elm-shaded campus for sixteen vears. Dr. Timothv Leh- mann, naturally rates a position in Who ' s Who. All factual data can be found therein, but there is narv a hint of his encouraKing words, his sound pep talks, or his universal friendliness. Though his countenance is oft- time troubled, his usual cheerfulness is amazing to say the least. Affectionately known as Prexv, he serves in a multiple capacity, being everything rolled into one. A great advocator of youth ' s rights and sympathetic in his views. Dr. Lehmann is often on our side in social issues. He tries to provide the best facilities possible for students ' social life, but has very definite views and ideas about morals, campus conduct, and religious activities. In short Dr. Prexv is promoter of modern improvements and ideas, with that one part of conservatism necessary to preserve tradition and custom on a campus with a future. Cap- able, likeable, firm but kind — his advice wel- come and his guidance helpful — this is our president. Timothy Lehmann, IID.D., LL.D. President, 1928

Mrs. Haas and Mrs. Schaefer, our com- petent office staff, are seldom appreciated enough. Indispensible office managers, they are also called upon to do almost anything from mimeographing circus tickets for frus- trated chairmen to typing and mimeographing ex am sheets and questionnaires to plague students. Mrs. Schaefer is secretary to our president, while Mrs. Haas takes care of Dean Mueller ' s business correspondence. 20
