DEAN AND ACTING PRESIDENT Itas the office right at the head of the stairs in Coxe Hall. This is the center of the college wheel, the Office of the Dean, where eventually all of us go with our questions and problems. Its nice knowing that you will either be told the right answer or where it can be found. A Dean Durf . . .the name has a Hobart ring to it. Two generations of the Durfee family have helped Hobart men from across the desk of the Dean. It was impossible to fill the vacancy left by the untimely death of our President Dr. Potter, but it was necessary for some one to meet the responsibilities of the office. Dean Durfee has been given this burden, and whatever success has been gained in this college year, unique for its multitude of problems, is due to a job well done by The Deann. 10 ASSQ The .

Bunting assumed the duties. At that time it was felt necessary to divide the duties of the Administration to make possible greater individual contact with the Hobart students. Dr. Bunting's office deals with many of the unpleasant duties of administra- tion, the enforcement of regulations and discipline, but there is still oppor- tunity for informal chats and friendly advice. The duties of the Associate Dean increased when President Potter died, but because of the ability of this office to absorb part of the shock, the Hobart students have received the proper personal contact, as was insisted upon by Dr. Potter. ll
