Chapter I ' I A HE summer drew to a close, and we of Elmhurst, wherever we happened to be, turned our thoughts to one place — Elmhurst College. Some of us were returning to a place already familiar; others would be coming for the first time. But all of us, as September days drew on, eagerly looking forward to the coming year at Elmhurst. Already the faculty and the administration were there, getting ready for the opening of the 1951-52 season, and we anticipated the renewal of our friend- ships with them. Somehow the friendly spirit of Elmhurst seems personified by President Henry W. I)inkmc er. His warmth and earnestness and great faith in the students of the college carr a personal note to each of us. He is assisted by Dr. Clarence Josephson. or Dr. Joe. as we call him, who has charge of the finances of the college. For the last year and a half Rev. W illiam Koshewa, who graduated from Elm- hurst in 44, has been Director of Public Rela- tions. He is also Director of Admissions and contacts the students of various high schools and youth groups who are interested in coming to Elmhurst. Busy, energetic, and efficient. Dean Alfred Friedli has the unenviable job of oiling the bearings of the curriculum and straightening out conflicts in courses. In addition to that, he teaches courses in sociology, and his spare time, il any, is devoted to music. All who have ever had problems have a warm spot in their hearts for Dean Genevieve Staudt. As well as being Dean of Students, she also teaches courses in education. Her alwavs-crowded office is a testimony to her friendliness and willingness to help. I m . m
