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

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

ONE YEAR OF C 0 L L E G E As an integral part of the Law school since 1 3 13 , Dean Loaphart is beloved find some- what feared l y { hi; lawyers-to-be. On gen- eral iu- imi lit arid ' he is an austere, unrespon- sive lawyer with a brilliant analytical mind. Some think that Dean Leaphart regards life and people entirely from an abstract legal viewpoint, hut those who have come lo know him, tell yon that his justice is always tem- pered with kindness and merry, ilis severity is an appreciated quality hy the students who have passed har examinations arid have launched into the status of attorneys at law. Dear i Leeapharl is well liked and respected, and a valued member of Montana ' s faculty. His Law school is rated a mum the I jest. His students say, He ' s a good fellow. H often wonder which Iti ' tltt C. It . h tlj shirt ranks first in Doctor El- rod ' s heart, new bugs, an- gle worms, fish and the flora-fina of Montana, the University itself, or the itudents. We are sure that i he students bold a firm place and are running nee and neck with the Doctor ' s life love, the iiiologx ' -Zoologv department. Doclr,r Klrod wa one of 1 lu earlv members of the faculty and today as vice-president of the University he is one of the foremost. His good fellowship and cameraderie have made him beloved by all. As a man of science he is noted, as a sympathetic listener and invaluable trouble shooter fur the students, his fame is carried in the hearts of the alumni throughout the world. When it comes to loyalty to the institution there are few that will stand ready to battle as quickly and as jf wholeheartedly as the grey haired, fun-lonier doctor of ' % bugs. I This is a sketch of the thin-faced, be- spectacled protector of the English language who holds sway over the throng of mystics, t ' ree verse artists and freshman source themers, from a top floor office of the library. His patience with the authors and his inter- est in student literature is so great that he is continually swamped with strange and uncouth manuscripts awaiting criticism. Professor Merriam has worked long and hard to put the Frontier on an appreciated basis and his creative writing classes have turned out many creditable pieces. Always sympathetic, genial and interested, the Eng- lish professor is considered the friend of every worthy cause on the campus. Profess n- .Merriam is liked by all and admired for his splendid work in the English department.
