Guide Students and intelligent faith in people. A sympathetic understanding of human relationships is also an important personal quality. The adviser must demonstrate a sincere and genuine interest in the other person's point of view and a willingness to listen. Interest in counseling young people as shown by experiential background must also be demonstrated. He should have training in tech- niques, principles, and practices in guidance and counseling. He must possess the ability to ana- lyze and interpret test results, scholastic records and other personnel inventory information, and to use them professionally. The adviser should have a comprehensive knowledge of the general field in which he is to serve, and specific knowledge of maior areas within the field. He must be alert to changing educational needs, educational con- cepts, and demands of a changing society. At present seventeen capable teachers serve as advisers. The adviser counsels students, assists with registration, writes programs, and keeps and works with records. He lends support to the life of the college student-community to strengthen school morals. He helps each student plan his course of study, offers helpful information which assists the student in choosing a life's work, and helps the student make his own decisions with respect to personal problems. Because the 'college administrative leaders and the advisers realize that the guidance program can and should be continually improved, each adviser is charged with the responsibility to assist with the study and improvement of the guidance and counseling program for the college. Miss Georgina Smith and Mrs. Vera Smith, advisers in the pre-education curriculum, encourage their advisees to take advantage of the excellent education and psy- chology courses offered to them at JJC.

Advisers Counsel, Since Joliet Junior College's historical begin- ning in 1902, the individual student has been the school's main concern. During the college's in- fancy, when the enrollment was very small, the Deans acted as personal advisers to each student. They assisted each student in planning his course of study and in solving his scholastic problems so that he could obtain a sound education. They as- sisted the student in choosing a vocation, prepar- ing for it, entering upon, and progressing in it. The Deans were very interested in providing scholarship information to everyone who needed or wanted it. Also during the early period of the school the Joliet Junior College Loan Fund was established under the direction of Dr. J. Stanley Brown, then Superintendent of Joliet Township High School and Junior College. As the college grew from a handful of stu- dents in the beginning to its present enrollment, the college administrators sought to maintain that the individual was the main interest and concern of the college. To this end Dr. Hal Dellinger, Miss Lola A. Emery, Mr. Duane Kirchoff, Mr. Edmund Puddicombe, Mr. Henry Simpson, and Miss Georgina Smith were appointed in 1955 as the first college advisers. Thus the guidance and coun- seling services of the school were established on a formal basis. Personal and professional qualifications for the college adviser were set up as well as spe- cific, defined responsibilities. A teacher employed as an adviser must be able to work with people, have time available for counseling and contact- ing people, and must have a wholesome interest X A' ,.-H' -4-.. Always interested in the pre-professional growth and ex- periences of his pre-medical students is Mr. Edmund Pud- dicombe, curriculum adviser. His interest is evident through the many hours he spends with the Students of Medical Science group of which he is founder and spon- sor.
