He is usually torn from well- known surroundings and friendships of long standing and Ends himself thrown into a situation that is dillicult to grasp with the necessary speed. Social, academic. and spiritual adjustments must be made at once. A eurriculurn must be planned. Questions of every kind must he answered fully enough, at le to provide the student with a working basis for his new career. Nor do the problems of a Freshman disappear ' at few weeks of school. Academic maladjnstments 'frequently de very moment when all should he going' well. Frequent OIJllO!'tl1lllflf' sultation and advice must he provided. From the faculty point of vie , it happens very often that the interests and fears felt for any Freshma s teachers must be correlated and given expression: for it is the boast of ' .nall college that the student is assured of effective supervision through i ' .1 attention. To assist in solving these prolmlems-academic, social, spi' , and frequently financial-to act as a shock :ihsorlier between the lfreslnna , and the faculty, is the duty and pleasure of the Dean of lfreslunen.
