Page Twenty-four PIERMAN IQNAPP Acting President college has as its leading object, -without excluding other scien- tific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. This has ever been the purpose of the men at its head, but problems have presented themselves during its growth, and to meet these difhculties some changes had to be made. However, in no case has the college deviated from its originally prescribed purpose: The remarkable success of our great and growing institution is due to its splendid men and Women-those who here investigate, supervise and instructig those who form its splendid student body: those who are its loyal alumni. r

RAYMOND A. PEARSON President most thoughtless of undei'g1-aduates must occasionally realize that such institutions as Iowa State do not simply happen. There were founders-pioneers whom we honor, and their successors whom we revere. For the past fourteen years, the man who planned and worked and looked toward the future of our college has been Raymond Allen Pearson- Pi-exy -the man who we all respect, and now wish Godspeed. His administration has marked the period of the most rapid expansion the college has ever known. The new Library and Home Economics Building are only the more recent manifestations of an extensive building pro- gram. Since 1912, the Armory, Science Hall, Physics Building, Chemistry Building and many others have been built. During this period, the acreage of the college farms has been substantially increased, and the Extension Department has been greatly expanded. During the last few years, Veishea, our open house, has been in- augurated. While he has kept the forward look of the leader, he has not forgotten to consider the mental per- spectives of his student body. And now he is leaving us. Wliat we lose, others gain. His record with us speaks for hini-his future cannot be other than successful. l Page Twenty-three

J. W. S'rAN'1'0N Demi of Womcn The office of the Dean of Women is the center from which the social lite of the campus is directed. The aim is to keep this life on a high plane, thus equipping our young people with the right' ideals with which to go out and carry on in the new communities of which they will become a part. DR. O. I-I. Urssim Chaplain The tragedy of college life for many young people is their loss of religious interest. Many who have been active in the home church become negligent. and drift away and their friends of for- mer days would hardly recognize them. There are organized, intensive agen- cies at college planned especially to meet this problem, such as the associations and active church groups and various college religious exercises. M. M. ROBERTS Junioa' Dcaa The office of the dean of the junior college was established in September, 1903, with Dean li. XV. Stanton as the first occupant of the position. The feel- ing had been growing that since the college had increased greatly in num- bers, students in the freshman and sophomore classes needed more supervi- sion than they had previously received, The principal duties of the office are to supervise the classification of freshman and sophomore students in all divisions of the college, to keep in touch with their progress in their studies and to advise and encourage them in upholding high ideals of scholarship. H. E. PRIDE Alumni Secretary The alumni staff and alumni office have but one excuse for existence- service to alma mater. This service finds expression in many ways but is seen best in etforts to develop a closely organized and well-informed body of alumni who are enthusiastically sup- porting their college in every way. To this end comprehensive tiles are main- tained at headquarters, the Alumnus is published every month and branches of the General Alumni Association are maintained in most of the important cities of the state and nation. J. E. Fosriza Draw of Men A wide variety of personal problems de-ve'op at college. Ttere are many im- portant questions outside of books, class- rooms and laboratories. The dean of men is at hand as a friend and coun- selor in connection with such problems and other iersonal matters of men stu- dents. The directorship of the Summer Session is combined with this office. J. R. SAGE Registrar It is the aim of the office to be of help to the student body, alumni and faculty in every way possible. The larger quarters which have been provided make it possible to render better service than in the past. ,Any request or inquiry from the members of the class of 1926 will receive the best possible consider- ation.
