Charles Maxwell McConn, M. A. Dean oj the University 1NSPITE of the fact that the position of Dean at a university the size of Lehigh entails an enormous amount of responsibility and time, Charles Maxwel ' McConn, Lehigh ' s first and present Dean, can always find a few minutes during the day to push aside his papers for an inti- mate chat with some Lehigh alumnus or student. Dean McConn has demonstrated his faith in the student body by defending students in all justifiable cases; he has laken and maintained a firm stand where strict discipline was required. While the position of Dean is not always the most pleasant. Dean McConn has endured the censure of excited members of the student body, and has been the more respected for the stands he has taken. Dean McConn has established a firm and intimate relationship between the Kaculty and student-body. His organiza- tion of administration and student activi- ties, and strict enforcement of campus rules, have been of immeasurable benefit to the University. DR. N. TT L EMERY has charge of the physical plant, accounts, and financial operations of the University. His wide experience with financial plans has made him of invaluable assistance in helping fraternities build up a sound financial condition. He is always ready and eager to help any undergraduate body settle its financial or housing dif- ficulties. Dr. Emery has been engaged in educational activities, both as a member of the Faculty and as an administrator of the University, since his graduation from Dartmouth College. During the vacation months he is in charge of the Summer Session. He has found that for the full de- velopment of college men human con- tact as well as books, lectures and labora- tory equipment are necessary. And many are the Lehigh men who have found this humaji contact with Dr. Emery, so we!! known among undergrad- uates and so kindly remembered among alumni. Natt Morrill Emery, M. A., Litt. D. Vice-President and Comptroller - 21 -
