DEAN OF WOMEN MARY P. VAN ZILE AT Kansas State College previous to 1918, the work of the dean of women was voluntarily assumed by different members of the faculty or was left undone. In 1918, upon recommendation of the president of the college, the department of dean of women was established and a dean was appointed. Her task was to create in the student mind an attitude of understanding and interest. She was urged to make her department a useful and comprehensive factor in the student life of the college. Throughout intervening years the de- partment has had an ever enlarging scope of interests and responsi- bilities. The position of the dean of women is based on the ideal for students of the highest physical, intellectual, social, moral and spiritual development. Her objective is, through co-operation with various campus and community agencies, to contribute to the realization of this ideal. The problems of living conditions, of health, of student employment, of extra-curricular activities, or vocational guidance, of social and religious life, are but different aspects of this objective and are her special concern. {Pagt I9
