THE 1936 DONNYBROOK FAIR The Dean friends in other institutions mention their Deans with awe and trembling. What a con- trast with our Dr. Stimson who enlivens every interview with wise philosophy and warm sympathy. One almost forgets the latest academic catastrophe in milling the very earliest spring flowers on her desk and in hearing her excited account of how the first robin has paid her a Visit. Invariably we come out With a conviction that sheer brilliance is no more com- mendable than conscientious endeavor, and that a good laugh with the Dean is an experience no undergraduate can afford to miss. gOUCHER College Students always feel a touch of surprise and pity when they hear Dr. Stimson is a vital part Of so many Goucher activities that one could never catalog all the phases of her radiant personality. Both students and faculty have been overheard saying, llBlue Monday or not, I cannot miss the Deatfs chapel. One never has any idea of what subject she will discuss for a better one may suggest itself as she comes to nKaty. We all know, however, that it Will be something in which Gaucher is intensely interested, and that we will be treated at least to one mirthful chuckle. The Dean has made history a living drama for the fortunate students who have her as a Professorll but a mind like hers hardly could confine itself to one subj ect. Whether you are troubled over klPsych, German, or Physics, she can point out the best sources of information and discuss specific questions as well as, and much more vividly than, your textbook. As for her popularity in reading poetry, one has only to remember the Christmas Fireside at which many of us were serenely unaware that we were seated uncomfortably on the floor. Goucher College needs Dr. Stimson as a counselor, speaker, professor, and dean, but every undergraduate student and alumna claims her as a firm and sympathetic friend. In!

THE 1936 DONNYBROOK FAIR The Student Counselor The welcome hand, the warm smile, the cheerful word-and we iind ourselves seated opposite Miss Connor. We cannot stop to enumerate all her dif- ferent and changing duties which range from stu- dent discipline to hall mistresses, requirements. Her complex existence, colored by contact with youthful minds as well as older ones, is a multitude of detailed duties and generalized functions. We may sing lauds laude to her who is dynamic in energy, gentle in mannereour gracious lady. MISS FRANCES R. CONNER The Registrar Far too seldom do we come in contact with the little lady who reigns supreme in the dominion across the hall from the Dean. Her mighty minions possess great power by virtue of the knowledge Which they hold; for our fate is in their hands, our lives are in their keeping. Our secrets are placed at their finger-tips. And a registrar rules them all. MISS CARRIE MAE PROBST The Vocational Counselor Have you a little odd job on your hands? Would you like one? Miss McCurley is the person you want to see if your answer is in the aEirmative. Miss McCurley,s aid to students who desire to earn money while attending college is always charac- terized by a word in the right direction and an honest, earnest effort to help. MISS MARY T. MCCURLEY I I4 1
