Already having gained at Millsaps a reputation as an outstanding scholar and a better than average professor, Dr. William E. Riecken, in his two years as Dean, has shown himself equally as capable in the executive field. Because of his industry, sincerity, and geniality, he has won the respect and coopera- tion of students in his capacity as Dean, and their admiration and friendship as a person. A paragon of the spirit of interest and sympathy which should belong to a Dean of Women, Mrs. Mary B. Stone has done more to bring about easy and friendly relations between students and faculty than any other one personality at Millsaps, Whether a co-ed enters her office to check up on cuts, discuss a question of interest to the college, confess a problem, or just to chat, she is always sure of attentive interest and sound advice from this keen observer of campus life and its problems. 13 'L-1' Dr, W.
