THE DEAN To interview prospective students, to act as a disciplinarian in the enforcement of college rules, to give sound advice and other aid to all Hobart men—these are a few of the duties of the dean. In carrying out these duties Walter Hetherington Durfee has been both wise and just. With the majority of the nation’s youth going into some branch of the fighting services, it becomes increasingly difficult to find and keep fine men of college material for Hobart. And so another problem for the dean is to maintain the high standards for which our college is noted. Dr. Durfee has done this part of his job very well indeed, and we heartily commend him for it.
