ADMINISTRATION , The Deans If you admire the man who you are doing, who is absolutely I DEAN WALD Dean Wfalker as guardian of often stops to talk, who is interested in what just and ready to help you, then you admire Dean W'ald. If you want advice concern- ing money, schedule, or vocation, if you have too many chapel cuts or want to be excused from classes, if you wish to consult a man as a friend or as an instructor, the solu- tion is, Ask Dean VVald. It is a phrase that every Millikinite has adopted and says with all confidence and trust. that he is ready to carry out the advice or direction of the answer, for Dean Walcl knows. As Dean, Arthur Wald has created an atmosphere of co-operative and cordial relationship between students and fac- ulty. He's not the sort of man to extend a friendly slap on the back to all comers, but he is unfailingly so reasonable, so modest and yet so appreciative, so square in all his dealings with students that he is loved by, all of them. all that is fine and cultural of the University occupies a special place in the regard of the student body. And as a guardian she tries to influence all to gain perfection in those things which make charm of personality. She writes: In our eagerness to acquire knowledge and to attain high scholarship, we so often neglect our opportunities to gain poise, dignity, courtesy, and the little niceties of life. Since a man is the builder of his own character, he may execute at his own will those' qualities which endow him with personal attractiveness. He may cultivate in his nature those principles which make for truth, loyalty, sincerity, ex- pressing in his atitude toward his fellows those finer instincts which make him pleasing to his friends. XV e must distinguish between the fads of the day and the real character which gives to one the true courtesy which charac- terizes his true worth and never goes out of fashion. We maintain that good manners en- hance our personal happiness, and by cultivat- ing those inherent traits which go to make up a well bred person. it is possible to break up . cliques and caste, thus creating a band of sym- pathy with all mankind. And yet, when she can remind us of courtesy, of manners and all other things that are cultural we must not forget Mrs. Walke1 s own personality-her delight in teasing and being teased, kidded, the fact that she can enjoy a practical joke, and most of all, her little kindnesses to others and her -appreciation of favors and of kindness.
