Dean of Men John R. Dyer Dean oj Men THE ideal relationship between the student body and the faculty is un- doubtedly to be found in the classroom. Every person who has ever gone to school or college thinks gratefully of the fine inspiration brought to his life by the truly great teachers he has known. The recent phenomenal growth of student bodies has created problems of college life outside the classroom almost as important and certainly as difficult of solution as those within it. Among these are health and housing, vocational guid- ance, personal counsel, campus activities, social affairs and financial aid. The office of Dean of Men is not a supervisory one. Indeed, the supervision of twenty-eight hundred live college men would be an impossible task. Fortu- nately, it is an unnecessary one. The office is meant rather to be a friendly headquarters for the men of the University, where there is a genuine interest in such problems as those mentioned above and adequate time to help with their solution. Only as students turn naturally to it for counsel, will it reach its greatest usefulness. P f»0 A

BuRDiCK, Vice-President IN CASE of the absence of the chancellor it becomes the duty of the vice-president to take over the administration of his office. He presides at convocations, meetings of the senate, and certain other gatherings connected with University business. Again, when the chancellor is engaged elsewhere, the vice-president often represents the University in meetings of various kinds throughout the state. In general it may be said that it is the office of the vice-president to assist the chancellor in such administrative matters as the chancellor may direct. Page iQ
