THEOPHIL W. MUELLER, Dean, Registrar and Advisor. DEAN STAUDT ALTHOUGH her responsibilities as Assistant Professor of Education, which involve teaching classes, grading papers, and guiding practice teachers in their work, take up much of Dean Staudt ' s time, yet she always seems to welcome a chat with anyone. In spite of the many problems which are heaped upon her, she has a ready smile for every student. As Dean of Women in addition to enforcing the minimum number of regulations, she takes a personal in- terest in each coed. She has snacks for hungry girls, a scale for those who eat accordingly, a word of advice for those who seek it, and a kindly smile, accompanied by a twinkle in her eye, for everyone. Her understanding and willingness to be of help have won for her the confidence and admiration of many a student. DEAN MUELLER THE fall of 1946 marked Dean Mueller ' s twenty-fifth anniversary as a member of the Elmhurst College faculty. He now hears such questions as Do you remember my dad who was in your first class at Elmhurst? And in most cases he does remember, for Dean Mueller has close contact with the students in his three capacities as Professor of Sociology, Dean of Men, and Registrar. He has imparted to nearly every Elmhurst student in the past twenty-five years some of his extensive knowledge of social problems. Illustrations of his personal expe- riences add warmth to his class lectures, whereas his stories of earthworms never fail to amuse. His thorough interest in each student ' s curriculum have made him of great help to all who seek his counsel. What I ' d do for one, I ' d do for alll is his motto and thereby he has gained the respect of every student. GEXEVIE E SI Al D T, Dean and Counselor of Women. 21

BOARD OF DIRECTORS A CTIVITIES of the Board of Directors were great ' y increased this year in their endeavor to accommodate the largest student body in the history of Elmhurst College. Many new ad- justments had to be made as to staff, class room equipment, housing, and personnel. Since it was found necessary to enlarge the curricula, eight new fields were opened offering a greater variety of subjects. This, consequently, called for the securing of new faculty members. To provide housing for the increased number of dormitory students, the Board arranged the contract with the government for the Federal Housing units which were set up west of the gymnasium. Reconstruction projects authorized by the Board took shape in the forming of new apartments in Irion Hall and South Hall, in order to provide additional living quarters of the professors. The former Student Union room in Old jNIain was also converted into a new faculty room, providing several individual offices for the professors. The former faculty room is now being used by the students for study and con- sultations. In the furtherance of their guidance in the Diamond Jubilee campaign, the Board of Direc- tors also continued in the re-painting and beauti- fying of the campus and the campus buildings. Last October a newly decorated Student Union room was completed in the basement of Kranz Hall offering recreation-hungry students a place to congregate and relax. The refreshment counter was enlarged and put under the full-time super- vision of a professional couple from the campus personnel. The Board has shown its genuine concern for Elmhurst College in its increasing efforts to pro- duce additional resources in meeting the increas- ing requirements. 20
