H if .M JOHN HOWARD AHLIN Dean of Men What is the human? Beyond dispute, a complex being . . . the understanding of which is a many-faceted Web of incongruities, and a rarely attained goal. To the search- ing and confused mind, caught in the whirlwind of new experience and educational enlightenment and or disheartenment, much counsel is needed. The man who offers this counsel must have a candour and strength of character, and a kindness, untinged by fraud or hypocrisy.
