Admini tration In President R0ll0PtS0ll,S administration a plan became reality URING our four years of college life we have known Dr. Robertson in a multitude of ways. VV e have known him in chapel as he wel- comed us to Coucher, as he read from Bobby Burns, as he intro- duced the new Phi Beta Kappas. VV e have known him at home, at press conference, at all the college functions. Above all, we have known him in relation to the new campus. lt is not only that we have seen Dr. Robertson take part in the ground-breaking, in the ceremony of the steam shovel, and at the ridge pole raising and that we have caught sight of him every Tuesday after- noon in conference with the architects. lt is not these occasions alone which make us realize the important role that Dr. Robertson has played in the unfolding drama of a new and greater Goucher. It is also an awareness of how long he has dreamed and of how earnestly he has labored for the building at Towson. lt is an appreciation of how he has helped us to catch his own enthusiasm and awakened us to the adven- ture of living through a signihcant period in Goucher history. To all of us at Coucher Mrs. Robertson, too, was important in our lives. The Howers in the window, the cookies and hot chocolate after Freshman Serenade, the Christmas tree which bloomed all silver and white in Goucher Rotunda during the week of first term exams-such things as these made concrete the spirit of friendliness which Mrs. Rob- ertson symbolized to us. That spirit was pervasive. lt became an integral part of college life and will therefore endure so long as Coucher lives.

HE way in which students summarize administrative activities is lament- able. Dean Stimson receives classification as interviewer extraordi- naire and, with Dr. Torrey, as one of the presiding geniuses of chapel. Mr. Turner represents matters mathematical. Miss Conner is associated with overnights and late permissions. From Miss Riches come our letters of admission as Goucher freshmen. Miss Probst signifies the alpha and omega of curricula. Miss Rutherford means wise aid in adjust- ment to student problems. Miss McCurley stands for all things vocational. Such is the impressionistic sketch we draw of the administration and its tasks. VVe are always aware, however, that here is no mechanical performance of duties, but a thoughtful expression of interest in all phases of student welfare. From dean's slip to Deans List, supervised by Dr. Torrey and Dean Stiinson. Goucherls first financial vice-president . . . Permission to have and to hold social activities . . . Miss Conner grants it. 18 Mr. Turner increases Towson building funds.
