ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS Clayton M. Schin Following in the hard-to-fill footsteps of E. C. Stopher, Registrar Charles Atkinson is doing a competent job of handling the important tasks assigned to the Registrar of a university. Dr. Atkinson was appointed to the position after the unexpected death of Mr. Stopher, who had held the position for a number of years. Handling all the funds of a state university is quite a large task, but the position is competently filled by Paul E. Beck, comptroller. Besides the job of signing all the checks for the several hundred working students and faculty, he must supervise the expenditure of all the money spent by the university. Working as the second man on a two man team with the comptroller is Emil Berg, Kent State University ' s able Business Manager. He is in charge of the problem of where and how to spend the money. At present his biggest task is with the new construction that is being carried on now at the university. The task of running a university in a high school building in downtown Canton is handled by Clayton M. Schindler. Although the students are with him for only two years. Professor Schindler knows most of them and encourages them to complete the remaining two years of their education. 24

ANS Realizing the need for good teachers and their importance, Dean Robert I. Wliite of tlie College of Education has incorporated the progressive methods obtained from the Uni- versity of Chicago, wliere he received his training. Although Kent State is no longer the teach- ers ' college it was twenty years ago. Dean White has recognized the ever-important role that Kent fulfills in supplying teachers for north- eastern Ohio. At present Kent State has teachers in all the counties and large cities in the surrounding area, and Dean White is doing a tremendous job in helping to alleviate the teacher shortage in the area. Since he came to Kent State in 1924, genial Dean Fren Musselman, Dean of Summer School and Extension, has enlarged his position from handling a few vacationing school teachers and night students into a job of handling thousands of students, mostly veterans going to school on an accelerated program. Perhaps in a few years the enrollment will be reduced, but for the last couple years the enrollment for the summer session has been larger than the enrollment for the regular ses- sions before the war. But in the meantime Dean Musselman is capably handling the heavy enrollment of serious students in all colleges in the university during the summer sessions. As Dean of Women, Dr. Ada V. Hyatt, is recognized for her liberal, modern point of view and has preserved for Kent State women the freedom she believes they are capable of using wisely. As Dean of Women, Dr. Hyatt has been a very important factor in bringing to this campus the highest-ranking national sororities. She also supervised in the reorganization of rushing and pledging practices used by the sororities. Dean Hyatt also acts in an advisory capacity to Pan-Hellenic council and Women ' s League and helps to formulate their policies. She also works closely with off-campus housemothers for the best in rooming facilities. Hoberl I. While Fren Musselman 23
