The academic life is Monticello's chief purpose. Her goal is to educate the individual and that goal can only be achieved through the concerted effort of the academic deans. In the College and Preparatory School Dean John Schweitzer and Miss Marguerite Little fill this capacity. Presiding over the college or preparatory school judiciol council or explaining the commencement to student marshalls, Dean John D. Schweitzer's every action is directed toward achieving the well-being of each faculty member and student. In his capacity as Dean of Faculty, Dean Schweitzer is responsible for the faculty, their employment and positions, and the student's academic work. If ever one finds the upstairs hall on the way to Alden Room nearly impassable due to the crowd of preps, there is no need to be alarmed. These girls are waiting to be next in the office of Miss Marguerite Little, Director of the Preparatory School. Miss Little, in addition to directing the preparatory school, a job requiring that she present the ultimate solution tc the problems of some one hundred and fifteen students, serves as academic dean and dean of students to the girls, and serves as a member of the college judicial council. She is concerned with the curriculum development and making certain it concurs with the regulations of the Illinois Department of Public Instruction. She is also involved in the employment of professionally prepared faculty members. Planning, guiding, and selecting the academic courses of Monticello's academic life, these personalities are a vital port of the character of the institution. Skillful and efficient Mrs. Robert Sweeney serves os f secretory to the Deans.

Admissions Staff: Covers The U.S. Anyone passing the Admissions office is likely to hear a long distance call being placed to Dallos or Des Moines, conversations on Pre-Monti Weekend, or just the initial A.A.R. Supplying information and answering correspondence are everyday duties of the Admissions staff. Student applications must also undergo a preliminary processing before they are referred to the Admissions Committee. This process includes the preparation of folders containing completed reference blanks, the application page, and other necessary reports. The importance of this activity lies in Monticello's changing approach to the Admissions Counseling service. Under the direction of Quentin J. Bogart, the Admissions office seeks to bring Monticello to the attention of the many young women throughout the nation who would profit from Monticello's educational atmosphere. The three assistant directors of admissions, field counselors, accomplish this goal with the co-operation of over 100 Alumnae Admissions Representatives, as well as by personal interviews with prospective students in their areas and recommendations by alumnae. On campus, the admissions program is greatly furthered by the two Pre-Monti Weekends held during the school year, and the work of the Booster Club and Tri-Key organizations. College and preparatory juniors and seniors all take an equally active part in presenting life-at-Monticello to their weekend little sister William Ihlanfcldt.
