The task of taking the many elements which comprise a university and fitting them together into an institution as complex as Lehigh is a compli- cated one which requires the skills and talents of many people. The Board of Trustees have the final say over the policies of the institution. They are the men who establish and supervise the broad framework of rules and aims to which the University conforms. The actual job of converting these broad aims into concrete results is entrusted to Martin D. Whitaker and E. Kenneth Smiley, President and Vice-Presi- dent respectively of the University. It is their re- sponsibility to maintain the educational activities, the plant, and the personnel of the University at their highest point of efficiency. The challenging task of threading the Univer- sity between the Scylla of the Board of Trustees and the Charybdis of the student body is the re- sponsibility of the Office of the Dean of Students. The head of this Office is Wray H. Congdon, Dean and Director of Student Personnel Services. He is assisted by two Associate Deans, John D. Leith, who guides the freshmen through their woes, and 26

Bvron C. Hayes, who serves as chairman of most of the student-faculty committees. One of the most vital positions in the Universit) is that of Charles A. Seidle. who. as Director of Admissions, has the responsibility of selecting those who are to become Lehigh men from the 2,500 or more candidates who apply for admis- sion. It is the trying and often heartbreaking function of the Registrar ' s Office to record cuts, make up class schedules, and keep permanent records of each student ' s progress through Lehigh. James H. Wagner, Registrar, and his staff carry out these difficult tasks. One of their most challenging prob- lems is registration. Recent revisions in the proce- dure have resulted in a speed-up which has re- duced registration from the day-long terror of a few years ago to the hour or two it takes today. The L ' niversity Placement Service, headed by Everett A. Teal, is charged w ith the important as- signment of providing the Lehigh senior with a chance to get together with prospective employers. The Placement Service also aids the undergradu- ates by providing them w ith opportunities for sum- mer employment. Numerous other individuals, Treasurer Elmer W. Glick, Librarian James D. Mack, Dr. Carl O. Keck, Director of the Health Service, Chaplain Chaplain Raymond E. Fvessle Raymond E. Fuessle, Robert F. Herrick of the Public Relations Department, and the many ad- ministrative aides play significant roles in that complex organization. Each element performs diligently to make Lehigh a great University. Cibrarian James D. Mack Registrar James H. Wagner
