ADMI1 [JSTXATI01 l The administrative body of a college directs the machinery of American education. This division of Mary Washington College, though centered in the offices lining the corridors of George Washington, extends its influence over the whole of the campus and even to the vari- ous sections of the states from which its students come. Behind the staff itself, the responsibility of administration rests with the rarely-seen Board of Visitors. Yet the policy on such college matters as curriculum, buildings, faculty and staff generally is left in the hands of the President. The Dean acts, above all else, as the academic arbiter of the school, working in conjunction with heads of the various de- partments. Prospective students are considered by the Director of Admissions, who examines their qualifications for meeting the requirements of the college. The Registrar not only is respon- sible for the keeping of all records, but also provides information about schedules and aca- demic standing. TheTreasurerhandles all college financial matters and heads the student bank. The general morale of the entire student body is dependent upon the Dean of Women, who supervises the social life of the campus and schedules the calendar of events. The Office of Student Personnel is a general clearing house for student problems and adjustments. Further, the office acts as a vocational guide for Seniors, and arranges interviews with pro- spective employers. Finally, the Office of Public Relations publicizes the activities and achievements of the college. Louis C. Guenther, Registrar To keep the records straight . . . Edgar E.
