IUZJIOICIUMCUIOIUZJIOEIJIOICUIOIUUIOIOZJIOUUIOIUSIODJI Hmmmht hmhmm deti Due to wartime conditions and two separate campuses, college administration has undergone many Changes in the last two years, but business goes on, if not as usual, neverthe- less with the eHiciency of the past, an under- standing of the present and with foresight for the future. The old traditions remain to re mind us of the days of peace modiEed and restricted though they may be by the uncom- promising demands of war. Formal dress at Freshman Reception and daily chapel belong to the past, but our administrators have pre- served these institutions in spite of necessary alterations. Today ideals and activities per- taining t0 the nation must take priority. Fully realizing this, the administration has chosen a wider field than the college would for its sphere of action. Several of our college leaders have added important work for the government to their academic duties. All the changes which the year has brought, however, have not been unpleasant. The col- lege welcomed Mrs. Robertson to Coucher at a reception early in the spring. Though Dean Dorothy Stimson Ends herself beset with requests for help in arranging ac- celerated schedules, she still Ends time to inter- view and advise students with Dis or other dif- Eculties, and to chat with us under purely social conditions. Miss Mary T. McCurley is taking care of the vocational needs with her well-known capa- bility, keeping fully acquainted with the new- est developments in the held, and helping Gaucher girls to End vacation or postgraduate jobs. Miss McCurley has been a link between our potentialities for service and a war time world anxious for help. Miss Probst, the Registrar, and her assistant, Miss Troxell, supervise domestic relations be- tween the faculty and students: registration, the handling of academic grades, and the ar- rangement 0f Coucheris programs of individ- ual acceleration. The Coucher expansionist policy, tempo- rarily suspendedlfor the duration, is neverthe- less well on its way to maturity. Miss Frances Conner, our able and efficient Student Coun- cilor now has as her assistant Miss Martha Arnold, who is the hrst Director of Mary Fisher Hall. Realizing that a divided house must fall, they have insured the unity of our Greater Goucher by establishing Erm ties be- tween the 01d and the new campuses, and by giving assistance to all students on problematic social and extra-curricular attairs.
