ADMINISTRATION It iiny livini; niiin deserves the title of Mr. Haver- ford, this honor eert.iinly belongs to Arehih.ild Mac- Intosh 21. Mac has served as director of admissions for a quarter of a century, as acting president on three separate occasions, and has also directed the College Entrance Examination Board. Spanning the adminis- trations of CJilbert White and Hugh Borton. Mac has been for the Class of 195S the President of Havertord longer than any other man. Hugh Borton ' s first official act as president was to award Archibald Macintosh an honorary degree, and the Board of Managers has granted him a well-deserved leave of absence for the latter part of I ' iS. In fulfilling the role of dean, William E. Cadbury 3 1 IS faced with the daily problem of trying to find workable solutions to students problems. Those who are flunking, or have course conflicts, or desire to shift their maior, or have over-cut, or Vi-ish a recommenda- tion to medical school, or ]ust need someone to whom to tell their troubles eventually fill the waiting room in Roberts Hall downstairs left, where the man with the gray crev» ' cut, nervous smile, and ever-present pipe gives each individual attention and advice. The dean also teaches chemistry, and is an e.xpert in the field of pre-medical education. This last semester he has been granted leave to do research in the latter field, and John Lester .i7 is attempting to fill his vacant office. The appointment late in 1957 of Walter C. Baker of the Class of 1932 as full-time vice president for de- velopment on the campus underscores the importance which Haverford continues to attach to careful planning for Its future progress and to the continuation and expansion ot the support it receives from its friends. No one is able yet to evaluate either Mr. Baker or his achievements, but one can be fairly certain that his accomplishments, both long-term and short-term, will indeed benefit the college. Vying with Haverford s mcomp.irable dietician for the title of most scapegoated person on campus. Aldo Caselli s unpopularity stems chiefly from the fact Seven

TO THE CLASS OF 1958 HAIL AND FAREWELL While the difference between college life and what- ever is before you will vary with each of you, everyone will have an opportunity to apply his own personal philosophy to what is ahead. Except for your months in the armed services, you will all have a new freedom of choice in further study in a professional or graduate school, or in your choice of work. Some of you have maintained that this last year has been too full of too many courses and assignments and that you have not had adequate opportunity to study your major. Henceforth, you may be specializing or concentrating on a single activity and can slow down to whatever pace you wish. On the other hand, some of you who claim that Havcrford has not demanded enough of you will soon discover in graduate school that you can work as long and as hard as your mind and body can stand it and that your fellow students will take their work as seriously as you do. Others of you cherish your right to dissent and to doubt. In a time when our fundamental values and beliefs face the demands posed by the horrendous struggle of the Cold War, it is up to you to make us discard t he irrelevant and secure the Truth. To those of you who are idealists who refuse to conform and insist that life is noble and worth whatever sacrifice IS required, the challenge cannot be too great. It is my hope, it is my belief, that Haverford has instilled in you a flexibility of mind, a method of approaching difficult problems, and a comprehension of the values of life which has prepared you to make those decisions which the times demand of you. May you soon prove to others, as well as to yourselves, that the future could not be in better hands! a. HUGH BORTON President Six

ALDO CASELLI EDYTHA M. CARR !► that he is the collector of fines and the watchdog of college property. His most famous victory involved the collection of money for hidden-a damages-a resulting from a Barclay waterfight. He exhibits definite Italian preferences in hiring maintenance workers, and is also known for making unannounced inspection tours of the dorms, aided and abetted by a detective. The few students who have had close contact with him through his non-academic Italian opera course assure us that Aldo is really no gremlin, hut is actu.dly a pretty nice fellow. Mrs. Edytha Carr, our registrar, is constantly plagued with questions about curriculum schedules, requests for course changes, requisitions for various permissive cards, and orders for transcript copies. She performs her duties with patience and humor, adopting a maternal attitude to most students, even the ones who crowd her office at the four o ' clock deadline hour on the last day of registration. Like a submarine, William Ambler 4 is usually silent and unseen by the student body. Ambler becomes a key figure principally to prospective students, and his difficult task in selecting for admission approxi ' mately one applicant out of every ten proceeds effi ' ciently and without fanfare during most of the school year. Ben Cooper ' s influence is felt to an appreciable ex- tent even by undergraduates (through job oiferings, room priority numbers, the weekly Alumni section in The J lews, etc.), but it is principally after one gradu ' atesthat Bennett S. Cooper ' 18, alumni secretary, serves as the alumnus principal link with his alma mater. WILLIAM W. AMBLER BENNETT S. COOPER rr Eight
