ADVISORY CENTER Now if I were you H Unoflicially, but also important, the group gave the inquiring student advice on choosing a career, on dating and marriage, and on other personal problems which arise during that growing up period-college years- The Advisory Center, directed by Professor Crosman, was established in 1938. Chief in its administration this year were the deans of the College, Professor Dunbar, Director of Admissions, Professor Ayearst, Director of Evening Studies, Professor Culley, Chairman of the Committee on Recommendations to Medical and Dental Schools, and the corps of eighteen student advisors who worked in 306 Main. Gripe though he may, the student is forever indebted to his advisor for years of friend- ship, of service, and of guidance toward adulthood. Professors Crosman and Skinner

PROFESSOR ARTHUR CROSMAN Listen to Professor Culley! Chairman of the Advisement Council The Advisory Center Constantly striving after that elusive entity known as Nmaturityf' students at Washing ton Square College have always had a group of understanding men and women to help then in their quest. Working under the assumption that an advisor helps best those who hell themselves, the members of the Advisory Center tried to instill mature responsibility i1 every student, help him to make independent decisions, and aid him in looking at life objec tively. Counsellors, instructors, friends-the advisors carried on the dual official function of checking class choices at registration time and guiding course selections.
