PRESIDENT 9L. 93am Gm. Wm PRESIDENT DAVID ALLAN ROBERTSON has indeed done much for Goucher College. Not only are we deeply indebted to him for the most successful inauguration of the modern tri-mester system, which has placed Goucher high in the ranks of the pro- gressive institutions of learning in the nation, but also for the highly effective manner in which the recently passed Fiftieth Anniversary was celebrated. Under his careful management, the magnificent banquet, the awarding of the architectural priZes, the round table meeting in Chapel, and all the other functions were important and absorbing occasions. It was a celebration worthy of all Goucher's traditions. It was the beginning of new triumphSetriumphs that will exist because of his fore- sight and ability. In his capable hands lie the reins of the college governmentea government that is essential to the welfare and continuation of the entire school. And because of his tact and great understanding that government is an ever-welcome one, serenely carrying the many responsibilities that, expertly executed, mean the firm establish- ment of a future Goucher College that will fulfill in every respect the Visions that we all share. Then Goucher will be infinitely grateful to the president Who helped to make it all possible. 27

DEAN got. 9W 5W OUTSIDE OF GOUCHER COLLEGE Dean Doro- thy Stimson is known as a pioneer in the wide field of the History of Science. Long a student of the subject, she has devoted much personal time towards bringing the importance of this field of study to other places of learning. Inside of Goucher, she is the person who ably combines the positions of teacher and advisor and chairman of many necessary committees. She is chairman of the Examination Board of the Lower Division; chairman of the Honors Committee; chair- man of the Committee on Records and on Scholarships and Loans. Yet, in spite of the work she is called upon to do, she is never too busy to find time to assist some worried senior, or reassure a frightened freshman that the Dean is not a fearsome person. Those of us who have had the privilege of studying under her guidance find her an inspiring teacherrone who has a great fund of knowledge, and an understanding of history, philosophy and human nature. Those of us who have spent a term with her will never forget how human achievement, in all its phases, was opened to our eyes. The names of the truly great that fill the pages of history have become more than personages, they are living people who gave much of themselves for the benefit and gain of others. It is truly unusual to find a person who has no time to give, and yet gives it. Dean Stimson is one of these rare persons. Students who have shared moments with her in her pleasant office, hung with the famous prints of seventeenth-century genius, know her as an encouraging friend. It is a great relief to lind that back of the cold formality of a Dean's Notice, is the charming voice and smile of the Dean herself. She takes all the sting and worry out of such a fearful item. She is a friend who listens to our side of a problem, explains the position of teacher, college or adminis tration, and welcomes any helpful suggestions. She is deeply anxious to have each student realize her greatest potentialities. She delights in improvement, and watches us grow from green and timid freshmen, bewildered and lost, into poised, serene seniors who have learned under her guidance how to become an integral part of Goucher College. 28
