A. ll. Kms' r .V M 'Mm' 1 Our Dean The office of the Deanf'tis here That soon or late, troubles of every kind will find their way. And if they be but small-neler fear A friendly ear will hear and understandg And if they be of greater consequenceH The wisdom of his years is yours but for the asking, He'll offer counsel, gladly share the diiiiculty, too, If thereby he may courage lend, or confidence in you renew. He can, if need demands, be stern, And more than once have merry mischief-makers quaked when summoned to the carpet It doesn't take them long to learn He knows full well when they depart from ways of truth. Never is he too busy to lay aside his work To chat, advise, or visit with those who come to call, While his unfailing good humor is a source of joy to all. For twenty-seven yearselong years, His steady hand has guided student travelers on this unfamiliar road. His knowledge of their problems, his sympathy, His vision of the future, his ability To give consideration to another's point of view, His respect for their opinions, and their convictions, KOO- Have won for him a host of friends, devoted, loyal, true.

we . 0 iii The Presidents Secretary 'Tl Tian The card placed on the door reads, President's ofiice. L. B. BOWERS, President, MARGARET GARVIN, Secretary. Office hours, 8:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. daily. Not all of which is entirely correct. an 5 ln the first place, it is not the president's officeg it is merely the entrance to the I V gl president's ofiice. Which is as it should be. In the second place, the secretary whom , i 'I one finds upon entrance is not a secretary. She is known by that title for conven- i,, l' ience. President Bowers says she is his secretary when she isn't doing something , i i else, which is most of the time. ln the third place, the office hours are not from 8:00 ' l li, , Q l I 1 , , a. m. to 5:00 p. m. daily. Being a Christian College, of course the office is not open 1 J' on Sunday. The hours are not held to rigidly, either. Seldom does the office close 'Wi w before six o'clock and many evenings bright lights burning in that part of the ' building would indicate that activities had not ceased even at six. E LU When one drops into the office for an interview with the president-at his own i u xl or the presidentls request, and finds it necessary to wait a few minutes in the M' secretary's office, he marvels at the amount and variety of work that seems to find lm, l-3' its way to that one small desk tucked in back of the improvised counter, conveni- My T ently near the telephone-which by the way rings on the average of once every two mug, V f and one-half minutes since there are two extensions to it, one to the president's X: private office and the other to the business manager's office. 'ali T, Q5 During a recent visit to this particular office, special inquiry was made concern- ,I rid ing the nature of the duties appertaining thereto. Before a reply to our inquiry could be made, Miss Garvin was called to the room adjoining on the west. This T I we learned was the mailing room-which means just that. A typist-by-the-hour was i busily engaged addressing interesting looking pamphlets, which we were told were i T being sent to the constituency, That means the papas and mamas of the terri- tory. Next week perhaps a different sort of publication will be mailed to high school graduates. Since all typists-by-the-hour need direction, the secretary to the i president must supervise the mailing out of those thousands and thousands of bulletins and catalogs. Besides, much of the actual compilation of the bulletin ma- terial falls upon the secretary. Of course, some of the big words that appear therein i originate in the president's office. i l 1 , I li AA V, 'T' . 6 A A Y , 'V .E f , urtwu Page Twenty-one

College of Music The activities of the department of music have been many and varied. The season opened with a musical vesper service given by the members of the faculty at the University Metho- dist Church. PROFESSOR BOUGHTON, the new instructor in y violin and orchestral instruments, gave an interesting and artistic recital in Sams Chapel. PROFESSOR JESSEN efficiently furnished the accompaniments and shared his part equally with PROFESSOR BOUGH- TON in the violin and piano sonata. E. H. F. WEIS Rehearsals for the Messiah started immediately at the opening of school. The choirs very creditably gave a performance of this work just before the Christmas vacation. Vocal students were chosen for the solo parts. The papers gave this line of expression after the performance, the best amateur singing heard in Salina for a long time. Following the holidays the Chromatic Club, an organization of students who study music, started rehearsals on Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan. This light opera was presented in Sams Chapel, greatly to the credit of the club and those assist- ing. ln fact, it was done so well that the cast has been asked by the civic music committee to repeat this performance for music week in Memorial Hall. Vesper services have been given Occasionally during the year. Student recitals have been of interest during all the season. A full schedule of musical events prom- ise to keep the listeners busy during the rest of the semester. The quartets have had more engagements than could be taken care of. Cther groups of students have visited schools and other organizations all about Salina. This music life is a busy one. Ask those who belong to the College of Music for their reaction to this statement. Page Twenty-three
