ONE YEAR OF COLLEGE President Charles U Ctapp The campus stories credit someone as say- ing that Dot- Jesse ' as Dean of Men puts up his court -marital front because he is natur- ally of a retiring and genial nature. We like that idea. The Doc came here as a man of science and professor of chemistry in 1!)12 and was just one of the fellows 1 Since taking on the dean ' s job he has a hard row to hoc and a thankless one. The bouncer never was popular in the days of yore and the clean is a conscientious boun- cer. Dot-tor Jesse has been untailingly loyal to the school and has done much to raise the academic standards in a fast growing Uni- versity. And after the cry of those who have left by his request has died away, many will say, He ' s a good head ' If you know Prexy ' Clapp you ' ll recognize this sketch, but it doesn ' t tell you much about the strength, broad vision and sincerity that have enabled him to guide the University successfully through the trying period of re- adjustment and expansion that followed the great war. Prexy came to us three years ago on the eve of the sudden growth that the University has undergone. Never a light task, the work of the president during Doctor Clapp ' s ad- ministration has been rendered doubly heavy by the construction of the new buildings of which we are so proud and the increase in number of students which has marked the transition of the University from a small to a large instit ution. Yet Prexy has been a tireless worker, and has showed infinite patience under a burden which would have broken a weaker man, He is never too busy to listen to those who want his help when in trouble, and is always ready with kindly and sincere advice and aid. Prexy is one of us; he belongs to the gang and merits the affectionate regard in which we all hold him. Dr. liuhird ft. Jn.w

( ' mitt Yes, the sketch is a good likeness of De Loss Smith, but it fails to show what no artist could catch, — the spirit of kindness and good -fellowship that makes him one of the best liked professors on the campus. H you were to listen to one of the Glee Club boys, he would convince you that Dean Smith, for he is Dean of the School of Ulusic, is a great scout on the annual tour that the club makes. De Loss Smith is a soloist of quality and an instructor of ability. Many say that he is a task-master , hut that quality certainly detracts none from his popularity and shows well in the accomplishment of the students. IV f.i.ss Smith is always ready to back a campus cause and can be counted on to sup- port, with hard work, the latest need. It ' s true that I Van Coon resembles one of those well dressed, pompous, dynamic, ' Big Business men that we find in the movies. But Dean Coon doesn ' t act and we ' ll wager that he comes closer to being the Big Business man than any of the movie pro- loly]«?s. As Dean of the School of Business Administration, he is reputed to know his stuff. His lectures are interesting and any- thing but sleep producing. The business- ad students swear by him and he has a wide following from those who have taken econo- mies under him. He has a bark that is much worse than his bite and his ever willingness to turn from the well piled desk in the Sim pk ins hall office to listen to some stu- dent ' s woes, wins him the friendship of even his H W ft majors. Dean Coon ' s school is a progressive institution and his grads are constantly finding that his courses are sure fire in the money gathering world. Ik ht. . Smirk

T II K SENTINEL 19 2 4 [fain Arthur L Stam Dean Sedman has now finished her third yf ' jtr u Dean of Women of the University, In these three yearn she has mothered the girls of her alma mater carefully and successfully. Her rulings have at times seemed stringent, lint in I heir defense it rimy he said that the morals and activities of the campus are of a higher standard than I hose of a majority of the colleges. She has succeeded in mak- ing the women feci that they may come to her whenever they so desire. Her kind- nesses hiwv. saved many who have been brought up before the conferences in danger of suspension. Mrs. Sedman has always had the interests of the University at hearl unci is constantly demonstrating the spirit of co-operation that has made her well liked by the student body. It is not what to say of Dean Stone ; it is how to say it well. A brilliant journalist— the Dean. n His years of serviie as an editor of the Anaconda Standard and the Daily Missoulian won na- tional recognition for himself and his papers. He has been Dean of the School of Journal- ism for nine years and during that time has come closer to embodying the ideals of the school of life and human relationship than any other man. To the little old man with the quiet manner and the kindly spirit, many of us owe our ambitions and successes. To men- tion the Dean is to bring a fresh light in the tired eyes of many WEindering Ednmni who feel that failure is a breach of faith with Dean . Dewi Harriet Raxikia Srtiman
