Dean of Women In the years during which Miss Lillian English Dimmitt has been dean of women at Morningside College she has made a place for herself in the College which no one else could fill. As dean of women she has had a greater influence in the lives of the girls than any other one person. Through her work she has made a college education possible for many girls who otherwise would never have had that privilege. She has not only enabled them to meet their own college expenses, but has been instrumental in helping them de- cide upon their life-work through her Fresh- man study course of vocations open to women. y tg Vg Miss Dimmitt is at the head of the depart- gt if ment of ancient languages. The students who 2 It fi 6 have majored or minored under her have ex- c perienced enrichment of life through daily Dem Dimmift contact with her in the classroom. and have gone out well equipped to teach or to do graduate study. In addition to her many hours of class work. her administrative duties as dean of women. and the endless committees she is called upon to attend, Miss Dimmitt finds time for Contact with the individual girls. if-5 if Y 1 'V if Dean of Men Probably no other one man has exerted so great an intluence over the young manhood of the campus as Dean Myron Earle Graber. Through his work as dean of men he has instituted a system of taking care of Fresh- man men so that they are helped in tiding over the breach between high school and col- lege. The men are studied individually, their needs observed, and help and advice given each of them in dealing with their personal problems. Vocational guidance is given the men in his course in Freshman Lecturef. Through the efforts of Dean Graber the standards of the fraternities of the campus have been raised. and friendly relations and the best of cooperation exist among them.

Oltltice of the 'Viceltresident Dr. F. W. Schneider has heen Vice-Presi- ' - dent of lVlorningside College and professor in the Department of Bihle and Beligion since 1920. Prior to that time he was for a period engaged in editorial work in Cincinnati. Ohio. He received his B. A. and lVl. A. de- grees from German-Wallace College. Berea. Ohio: attended Drew Theological Seminary. and received his Doctor's degree from Bald- win University. For a time he taught in German-Wallace College. and has been pas- tor in the Methodist Episcopal Churches of Delaware. Ohio. Brooklyn, New York. and Pittsburgh. He has also done some work as an author and translator. Dr. Schneider is well-known as one of the foremost educators of the northwest. and is a man of exceptional executive ability. He is a man of high ideals whose actions are in- spired hy the highest motives, one who sees DV- Sfhnfiflm' into the future and wisely directs our actions in the present. His life is an example of the qualities of a true gentleman. Deao of Extension This year the financial potentates installed a new desk and other office ac- coutrements for Dr. John James Bushnell of Cherokee. and he hegan his duties in the department of the Forward lVlovement immediately. He succeeded the late Dr. D. A. lVlcBurney. This department-rather vague in the minds of most of us-was created in purposing the erection of new buildings on the grounds and the securing of two million dollars to put at the disposal of the college. It is, in truth and name. the advance move- ment in this institution. A large percentage of the fund items were written during the 1927 campaign. at which stage many generous contributions were made. Even we students dug deeply into our shallow purses-eif you recall the chapel for the student aid to the movement. Taking charge of all field collections on subscriptions and sustaining educational grants necessitates a considerable amount of traveling, hence the frequency with which Dr. Bushnell may he seen with his traveling-bag in his hand. President Mossman accom- panies him on these jaunts over lowa and the surrounding territory a great part of the time. State iroundarics, says Dr. Bushnell. are no harriers in the campaign. The reward y , for his lahor he expresses thus: Sometimes DI., Bushnell I do procure money. Twenty-five
