direct College The welfare of the women students on and off the campus is the responsibility of Dean of Women Helen Moore. It is her job to develop the social, educational, and vocational activities of women residents between themselves and other living groups. Maintaining a close relationship with the academic and administrative staffs in helping to interpret stu- dent needs is the responsibility of Dean of Students William G. Craig and Assistant Dean Philip Sorensen. The College machine is for the students, but the administration keeps the wheels of the machine turning to provide necessary services for all students. The President ' s right-hand man in charge of supervising academic affairs is Dean of Administration A. L. Pugsley. K-State Administrators top row: William Baehr, librarian; C. M.

Administrators Financial affairs of the College are supervised by A. R. Jones, dean of finance, and school comptroller. The College is for the students, but without the administrative officers behind them, the smoothly func- tioning organization that is Kansas State college would be a mere dream. From the time a student enrolls in school until he graduates, administrators help to guide, direct, and supervise his activities. Supervising financial affairs and the College budget is Dean of Finance A. R. Jones, appointed to that post last year. Directly responsible to the President is Dean of Ad- ministration A. L. Pugsley who supervises and directs academic affairs, and is the director of summer school. From their redecorated and combined offices in Anderson, Dean of Students William G. Craig, Dean of Women Helen Moore, and Assistant Dean of Students Philip Sorensen, help direct and coordinate student activities, government, and affairs. Dean Sorensen came to Kansas State from Portland, Ore., where he was director of public high school recreation.

Results of research done at K-Scate are distributed through- out the state by the Division of Extension, headed by Dean and Director of Agricultural Extension, L. C. Williams, and Assistant Dean and Agricultural Specialist, Paul W. Griffith. Extension Serves Entire State To spread the results of research done at K-State throughout Kansas is the purpose and job of the ex- tension service of the College. Extension has been called the largest out-of -school educational system in the world. The K-State Division of Extension is supported by federal, state, and county funds, and is the field arm of the United States Department of Agriculture and the College. Extension helps to provide Kansans with the latest scientific findings, technical service, and the knowledge that will make them well-informed citizens. Extension also helps them to analyze local conditions, recognize their major problems and evaluate their resources. The county agricultural agent, home demonstration agent, and 4-H club agent are the local representatives of the K-State extension service. The agents use such devices as conferences, meetings, telephone calls, per- sonal visits, demonstrations, radio, and publications, to teach the people they contact. A Home Study Service, financed entirely by state funds and student fees, is available to residents of Kan- sas who cannot attend classes on the campus. During 1952, there were 2,053 students enrolled in high school or college credit courses by correspondence. 22
