The main contact between the Administration and the students, however, is made not through any of these men but through the office of the Dean of Undergraduates. Here the evanescent cut policies of the University are made clear to those who have wittingly or unwittingly transgressed them, and here Lehigh men go to receive advice and guidance, to wangle excuses for vari- ous tilings, and to talk their way out of multifarious jams. A Dean of Under- graduates must be almost superhuman: he must be firm, yet kind; authorita- tive, yet easily approached; a disciplinarian, yet an understanding man. Such a man Lehigh had in Dean McConn, who relinquished his post in 1938; such a man Lehigh now has in Wray Hollowell Congdon, who succeeded Mc- Conn in office. Dean Congdon graduated with an A.B. from Syracuse in 19 14, and re- ceived his M.A. the following year. He has had a long and varied career in education, having held positions in China, and having been principal of academies there. He has been a teaching fellow at the University of Michigan, and was at one time Professor of Education at that institution. Dean Congdon came to Lehigh in 1934 as associate Dean of Undergraduates; he still teaches graduate courses in his field, and his signature is written on the flyleaves of several books on Education in the University library. Dean Congdon ' s job is no enviable one, for he must not only restrain undergraduate enthusiasms from overstepping the bounds of reason, but must also maintain as frictionless as possible a state between the University and the people of Bethlehem. He engineers the details of University functions, and keeps vigilance over the many outside activities held by groups within the school. The Dean is assisted by his secretaries, Miss Beatrice Flickinger and Miss Virginia Kirkhuff. In his office can generally be found several students waiting to see him about their dire crimes or their courses, their scholarships or their grades. They sit across the desk from him in conference, unfold their woes, and receive his considered advice. An enormous amount of routine work passes through the Dean ' s office, for every time a student group wishes to function in some fashion it must be approved by the Administration. Dean Congdon also spends a considerable part of his time, as do most of the Administration officials and many of Lehigh ' s faculty, in interviewing prospective freshmen, and in speaking before high school and preparatory school audiences. All in all, Dean Wray Hollowell Congdon acts as a sort of bearing between the Board of Trustees and the Faculty on one hand, and the students of Lehigh on the other. Wray H. Congdon, Dean of Undergraduates. 10
