MR. GUS GRUENWALD Director of Public Relations To assist the president with other matters, Mr. Alfred Friedli is engaged as Dean of the College. Besides an instructor for some Education courses, his hours are busily spent with matters directly related to the faculy, board, or functioning policies of the college. It is basically his position to arrange schedules for activities, classes, and examinations for the con- venience of both students and faculty. Frequently he presides over Friday afternoon faculty meetings where rising problems are brought forth and a solution is then worked out. Perhaps the students become most familiar with the Dean of Students, Miss Genevieve Staudt. Her friendly smile and warm heart are open to the stu- dent from the minute they step on campus, up to graduation, and then often times many years after that. Her chief interest at Elmhurst College is to see that every student develops his abilities to the fullest extent, and she will go to any means to accomplish this feat. Whether it be for a conference about grades or ambitions, for advice about one ' s curricu- lum or personal problems, or for information about scholarships or jobs on or off campus, her office door is always open to welcome you. A week rarely passes during which one doesn ' t see Mr. Gus Gruenwald conducting a tour around cam- pus to show interested individuals exactly where Elm- hurst students spend their time.

MR. ALFRED FRIEDLI Dean of College MISS GENEVIEVE STAUDT Dean of Students Every institution needs a staff of well experienced and helpful personnel; a college is no different. There are pertinent decisions which rest upon the shoulders of the president, such matters which will create the policies of the college. One couldn ' t begin to enumer- ate the many activities of Dr. Robert C. Stanger, President of Elmhurst College. There are countless numbers of meetings and conferences to attend, ob- ligations and duties to perform on and off campus. In each case they all become united to create a dif- ficult and time consuming position for the president as he presides over the affairs of the college. To help him though, Dr. Clarence Josephson fills the po- sition of Assistant to the President. Dr. Joe, as he is more popularly called by the students, is kept busily engaged in the financial matters of the college, see- in that all college and student accounts balance. 11 DR. CLARENCE JOSEPHSON Assistant to the President

adults frequently ask to come and look over the col- lege for a view of the educational facilities offered to prospective students. Welcoming these people is only a part of his busy role as Director of Public Relations. There are numerous letters to write pros- pective students and Mrs. Dunnivant is always on nand to carry out this necessary correspondence. There are brochures describing the college and its facilities that need designing and publication. Other means of publicity regardng college life demand time for visiting schools for their College Night and speaking to youth groups for similiar reasons. Extending college relations to the community are just as important, and this activity requires publicity of the college ' s cultural, social, academic, and athletic opportunities in newspapers and magazines. Three times a year the college welcomes the Board of Directors on campus when they gather to meet and decide major functioning policies of the college. These men and women are active civic leaders throughout the country, and their position on the board calls them together to discuss and decide major issues. This year with the new Hammerschmidt Me- morial Chapel nearing completion, the board be- gan formulating plans for a new men ' s dormitory and possibly a new dining room and snack shop. An- other decision of the board resulted in an applica- tion being made for a federal loan under the govern- ment ' s program for schools of higher education. The loan program, sponsored by the United States De- partment of Health, Education, and Welfare, will make loans available to students and also possible funds available for building construction. What ever physical ailment a student may claim, there is always a remedy Miss Ober, the college nurse, can find. The infirmary on the third floor of Commons frequently finds students bedded down for recooperation. When one isn ' t so fortunate to receive a few days of rest and quiet in the infirmary, Miss Ober always has a thermometer or pill on hand to help analyze and cure those aches and pains a student will develop.
