The New Freshman Advisor About the one really good innovation this year in the Freshman program has been the initiation of Freshman Advisor, Bill Docherty. Too often in the past the Freshmen have been cast out to swim without any li ghthouse to direct them from the rocks. Although Bill gives out no brilliant flash of light, his advice and presence are more of a steady beam which is much safer and surer for the storm-tossed sailor. There has been too much babying done at Haverford. Too often a directness of approach has been replaced by a kind of weak sympathy which never satisfies the troubled student. Bill, in his capacity as advisor, has done much to correct this trouble. His treat- ment of the students as men makes them fee! like being men and not habitual resters on an analytical couch. It would seem that if others met with the success of Bill that his college would soon cut down the 30-40% of students who receive some kind of psychological help. We thank a fine man for his contribution to Haverford College.
