:L A321 I EAN OE THE COLLEGE Philosopher, violinist, teacher and Shake- spearian actor . . . if diversity is the key to success, then Merrill R. Patterson's is richly deserved. In addition to his administrative duties as Dean of the College and his academic responsibilities as head of the English Depart- ment, Dean Patterson finds time to lead cheers at the bonfires, act as chief auctioneer at the annual auction on campus, and announce the Homecoming Queen at the peak of each foot- ball season. 514 As versatile a man as Dean 'lPat is natur- ally interested in a variety of fields, ranging from biology to dramatics and music. A violin- ist and concertmaster in the Marietta Oratorio Society and Orchestra, he has played in the college's annual production of Handel's Mes- siah for a number of years. Although Dean Patterson is celebrating his 28th anniversary on campus this year, he has been known in the past as a newspaper editor and a leader in bringing liberal ed- ucation and industry together. Formerly a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Marietta, founder and president of the United Appeals in this city, trustee and treasurer of the Ohioana Library Association, and presi- dent of the National Dean's Association, Dr. Patterson is in constant demand as a speak- er. He has had articles published in the Dictionary of American Biography and was selected, along with ten other Deans in the country, for the Institution for College-Uni- versity Administration. Dr. Patterson took his undergraduate work at Wesleyan University, received his Master's degree from Brown University and his Ph.D. from Yale while working as a re- porter for the local newspaper. Listed in Who's Who in America, Dean Patterson has received many honors. Included among these honors are Delta Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Psi Omega, Beta Beta Beta, Pi Kappa Delta, Pi Delta Epsilon, and Omicron Delta Kappa. According to Dean Patterson, a university must not only be a place designed for the un- impeded search for truth, but also an avenue of usefulness and service reaching out to all men. Dean Pat hopes that Marietta will in- crease to the point where we can do even more for our students than we are doing now, and at the same time keep thinking of faculty- administration-student relationships on the personal and intimate basis. wa , 1 .--'N ..- ,-- .'.. .Jw .... -: 1 . . an ..-- DMN 1' A Aw,-5 ll-..'.f3-.

This group is con- sidered one of the two most important com- mittees working for Marietta College, serving as an advisory board to the administrative of- ficers. The Dean of the College is chairman of the group, the President is ex-officio, and the Registrar serves as secretary. Two of the six faculty members serving on this council are elected by a majority vote from the faculty in April of each year. Each faculty member serves for three years, beginning the September first following his election. Originally an experimental program, the Faculty Council has been extremely successful in carrying out its duties in the capacity of administration-faculty-student advisor. The importance of this council has been stressed. It appoints the members of all stand- ing faculty committees each September, initi- ates studies or surveys of any matter concern- ing academic and other internal affairs of the college, reviews candidates for honorary de- grees, and may consider appeals from students suspended or expelled from the college. Recommendations in this connection may be made to the President and Dean of the Col- lege. The council advises with the President and Dean on matters of general college policy. Moreover, it is the Faculty Council that sets up the requirements for admission to the col- lege, the conditions of graduation, and the nature of the degrees to be awarded. The members of the Faculty Council help to establish procedures for granting financial aid to students and also make suggestions for the conduct of student life and activity. Final- ly, this group has the right to make such other regulations for the conduct of the educa- tional work of the college as may be desir- able. Seated: Mr. Bruce Blackburn, Dean Merrill Patterson, Mrs. Lillian Sinclair. Standing: Mr. Earl Bender, Mr. 'Paul Gawtlarop, Mr. john Pettit, Dr. Harold Dean, Mr. Warren Steel. 131

DEAN OF MEN The quotation Small in stature . . . mighty in power must have been written with an individual like Dean John E. Sandt in mind. His position as Dean of Men encom- passes a variety of responsibilities. Douglas Putnam Hall, the men's dorm- itory, is under the supervision of Mr. Sandt, and as advisor to the interfraternity Council, he is in charge of the social and rushing regu- lations for the fraternities. In maintaining campus discipline, Dean Sandt conducts an ex- tensive academic and individual problem guid- ance program. Aside from his duties as Dean of Men, Mr. Sandt teaches classes in engineering and surveying. Holding a membership in the Am- erican Organist Guild, he enjoys playing the organ whenever time permits. The students of Marietta College are most fortunate to have such a versatile man on their faculty. EAN OF WOMEN Always ready with a smile, Miss Ruth A. Wilcox cheerfully performs her arduous task as Dean of Women. Applying her talents to other facets of the college, Dean Wilcox is a profes- sor of speech and drama and teaches classes in that department. Heading the Debate Club and Pi Kappa Delta, Miss Wilcox is Lieuten- ant Governor of the Province of the Lakes, Marietta's debate district. The Dean is ad- visor to Intaglio and the Panhellenic Council. As Dean of Women, Miss Wilcox in- cludes many thoughtful gestures which insure every girl a maximum of individual attention. Among these courtesies are the personal birthday greetings extended to each coed, the minutes and hours of counsel or advice worked into her busy schedule, and the ready assistance with which she tackles any emergency. Dean Wilcox takes a genuine in- terest in each girl, helping her to adjust suc- cessfully to college life. T151 Wax 4 C , , , 4 y 36, lf-uf l 1 faltf-5 ll Zvlj . '5 l lin?
