cDljr Dean of IPomcn The development of the ideal woman is the moving spirit behind tin office of the Dent} of Women. Supervising and directing the activities of the women of the University, inc.Tcatinp the moral ideals of goodness, justiii ss and spiritual integrity, the task of properly administering the duties which devolve upon the dean of women is no small one. Adiusting the new strdent to her new environment, helping her to attain new heights ot scholarship through a desire to approach the ideal is at all times a joyous task to any true-hearted woman. Insufficient dormitory accommodations make it necessary to house some of the women students in the city. This office secures such accommodations in homes of the best types, sees that University regulations are observed by these students so housed and in general seeks to promute their comfort and welfare.

 Cljc College of (Eljcologu The Theological College, although one of the least in number ot students enrolled of all the colleges of the University, provides a training of the highest type for the all-important work of the ministry. Under the present curriculum a liberal education is combined with the theological training: thus affording to those students who otherwise might lx unable to finance themselves through the four years of liberal arts and theology, a most thorough training in the arts, which is of course vitally necessary to the minister of this era. The faculty of the college are all men of the greatest ability. Professor Stuart Nelson, one of the most accomplished ministers of the race and a philosopher of rare strength, as well as a speaker of grace, dignity and eloquence, bolsters this strong faculty, and Howard is singularly proud of him since he is one of her sons.
