In These We Trust Goucher College is fortunate in having four outstanding and efficient people drawing up its bhleprint for the future. We turn with awe to our president, Mr. Otto Kraushaar, and a huge list of magniticent achievements. With better results than King Midas, everything he touches seems to turn into a building. Since his arrival at Goucher three years ago our president has initiated the construction of $1, 700 000 worth of buildings, and he has managed to unify the student body, which now resides on the spacious Towson campus. He has cut the operating bud- get deEcit from $350,000 to $140,000, and plans to CIOSC Couchefs last three buildings on the Baltimore campus and to expand the student body. In order to accomplish this the president plans to raise $3 000 000 by the year 1960. Chairman of the National Campaign fund he traveled 1n March to Denver, San Francisco and Los Angeles so as to meet with alumnae in that area in connection with raising funds toward this goal. In so many ways, President Kraushaar has brought fame and honor to Coucher College. He is one of the co-authors of the book entitled iiCIassic American Pliilosophers7,,wliich was pub- lished in January, 1951. We know what men of distinction areeVVe have our own Kranshaar. As director of Public Relations, ViceePresident Clark S. Hobbs is contributing his share toward drawing a successful Goucher blueprint. He has charge of the relations between our college and the Baltimore community, and has done a very good job in promoting local and nationaI pub- licity. Mr. Hobbs supervises the publication of NBI'CVIJEICS , a newspaper telling alumnae 0t cur- rent Goueher activities. IIe's responsible for the proEtabIe sale of the city buildings. Ever since his appointment to the position of Vice-President in 1945, a tiriner Coucher foundation has been set by Mr. Hobbs. Goucher's new dean, Dr. EIizabeth Geen, has capany filled the position vacated by Dr. Anne Cary PanneI. She too has a building aim . . . to make the student aware of the important signiti- cance of college Iife in developing a uniEed, in tegrated personality. Dr. Geen feels it is her job to aid the students in acquiring the mature traits they might not have the Opportunity to learn in the Classroom. In order to become better acquainted with the students as individuals, and to help them to attain this goal, she has had per sonal appointments with all members of the freshman and senior classes. This year, Dean Geen has introduced a new National Sophomore examination to take the place of the 01d Sopho- more Generals. She feels it is important for Gouchcr to know exactly how their students come pare with other Sophomores all over the country in a general examination. Greater class atten- dance has also been stressed, not by appealing to the professors, but by asking the students to assume a greater responsibility of their own. Since her arrival, Dean Geen has contributed to the building of a better Coucher by buiIding a more mature student body. A warm place in the heart of every student has been reserved for Mrs. Everett Nichols, Dean of Students. Assisted by Miss Jean Slocum, Mrs. Nichols has devoted much time and effort in an attempt to aid every student in the drafting of the best social and personal plans possible. 11
