Kent State University ' s seven deans provide the best opportunity the univers ity affords for personal contact between the student body and the administration. Below, left to right: Arden L. Allyn, dean, college of business administra- tion; Dr. John L. Blair, dean, college of education; and Oscar H. Williams, dean emeritus, college of liberal arts. Dean Raymond E. Manchester originated the Men ' s Union, and also the custom of individual birthday greetings to campus men. Dean Mary L. Smallwood, only one year at Kent, is now an indispensable member of the faculty body. Dean Emeritus O. H. Williams, six years head of the college of liberal arts, retired in September, 1938, to be replaced by Dean Earl W. Crecraft, from the University of Akron. Dean Arden L. Allyn prides himself on the growth of his, the youngest college of the university. Dean John L. Blair and Dean Fren Musselman have worked together for years in building the first college of the university, that of education. 10

Seven officials, keeping stride with the construction and progress on the campus, do the work behind the scenes to keep the machinery of university administration running smoothly and efficiently. Business Manager B. F. Renkert and Assistant Treasurer C. K. Anderson work together in the money matters of the university. Dr. Lester H. Munzenmayer, director of teacher placement, arranges interviews for prospective employers of student teachers, while the instruc- tion and practice teaching at the University Training school is under the direction of Dr. Amos L. Heer. Dr. Heer also represents the university at national educational conventions besides teaching educational classes. Miss Margaret Dunbar, reigning over the Rockwell library with dignity and precision, still performs the yearly task of acquainting freshmen with studying and making use of the library facilities. One of the busiest of the officials is Registrar E. C. Stopher, who with the aid of his office assistants, must keep in close touch with all students, record their cuts, their grades, and scores of other facts concerning each of them. J. W. Dirkson heads campus construction and supervision of grounds. 12
