Dean Slowe says: “The Dean of Women should be the intellectual and spiritual leader of the women on her campus. Her work which touches every phase of the life of the student body, is co-extensive with the interests of the students. She should be an authority on the education of women, and be conversant with modern education in general. Since most of her work is done with students outside the classroom, she is particularly interested in those activities which have to do with the wise use of leisure time. The cultural life of the students ns represented by their interests when they are not working for credit is her chief concern. If a Dean of Women is able to create a desire in her students for wholesome recreational activities, for the best in literature. art and music; if she can help her students see the beauty in a well ordered and useful life, she feels that she is one of the most fortunate people in the world. ur. The policy of the Dean of Men is to so direct the work of his office that it will meet the greatest needs of the University. It is his purpose to strive to create and maintain such a friendly atmosphere about the campus that no male student will ever be allowed to feel that nolxidy cares or is interested in him. Students are encouraged to call to see the Dean of Men at any time with any problem with the assurance that they will be accorded a friendly reception and the advice and guidance of one who is deeply interested in their present and future welfare. The Dean of Men’s office also assists those male students who cannot be accomodated in the dormitory to find suitable rooms in the city. Many students who must have some kind of employment to help earn a part of their expenses are assisted in finding employment through the office of the Dean of Men. This office extends to the Class of 1930 its sincerest congratulations and best wishes. Lucy D. Slonve Dean of Women Who is winding up her eighth year at Howard University.

Dr. Edward P. Davis Dean of the College of Liberal A rts The College of Liberal Arts provides instruction and educational direction to six hundred students registered in it and also to approximately four hundred others registered in the Colleges of Education, Applied Science and Music. This instruction is given by a Faculty of eighty-six persons, all of whom are specially trained for their work. It aims through sound and thorough instruction to give adequate training for culture and scholarship as well as for vocations and for iater professional study. It is hoped that the student will become an active and interested participant in his own education, feeling a personal responsibility for the fullest development of his latent powers, and that he will develop independence of thought under the inspirational guidance of his instructors. And so his right living, courteous manners, correct sense of values, refined tastes and power of growth will give evidence of a cultivated, active and efficient mind. ur. The College of Medicine is one of the most important units of the University, since in all the United States there are only two medical schools with practically an entire Negro enrollment. Situated as it is, in the center of research and investigation of scientific problems, it affords singular opportunities to the Negro aspirant to the profession; and with its highly trained staff, rigid requirements and clinical advantages is able to graduate men of the highest technical ability. Freed men’s Hospital, one of the most completely equipped hospitals of its size in the country, affords clinical and operative advantages which can be secured at no other hospital in the country for this particular group. The new building, now complete, will afford even greater laboratory facilities, and a far more pleasing atmosphere in lecture and class room. Numa P. Adams, M. D. Dean of the College of Medicine
