ASSOCIATE DEAN JOHN H. PRIME Our Genial Financier MISS DICMBSKA AND DEAN PRIME Those who were fortunate enough to meet Associate Dean john H. Prime as undergraduates, will long remember his genial smile and his sincere desire to help whenever possible. Alumni who participated in this year's Alumni Day Home- coming, have him to thank for handling the program and making the event such an outstanding success. The Alumni hold Dean Prime in high esteem as attested to by the dozens of letters he received, congratulating him on his appointment as Associate Dean. His former students re- member the days when they sat in his classes, and write him often to remind him that he will never be forgotten as an ex- acting but able and interesting pedagogue. Dean Prime's administrative duties involve control of the budget and financial matters of the School of Commerce. His long and successful career in the field of finance, began even before 1922, the year he graduated from NYU's Vlfashington Square College. He was Chairman of the Finance Committee of his Senior Class and Chairman of the Frosh-Soph Com- mittee in his undergraduate days. After graduation, he became president of the Graduate School of Arts and Science Alumni Association. In February, 1923, Dean Prime was instructing classes in economics at the School of Commerce. He began to teach finance in 1928. A series of promotions in the following eleven years, culminated with the attainment of the title of Professor of Finance. While acting as head of the investment division of the Banking and Finance Department, Dean Prime reorgan- ized the courses and is responsible, in great part, for the pres- ent efficiency of the department. For twenty years after September, 1925, Dean Prime also held the position of Director of Admissions, for the School of Commerce. His textbook Investment Analysis was pub- lished in l946 and is an excellent source for data on the prin- ciples behind the theory and practice of investment. 13

THE DEANS A vi.rk.,i:, . -:fr-: Mp . . . , They LH' fhe Way It takes more than buildings and campus to make a uni- versity, more than books, pens and paper to make up educa- tion. In both of these the human element is essential. It takes people to fill the buildingsg to use the books: and to run the university. In the School of Commerce there are six men to guide its course and establish its reputation. They are the deansg the inspiration of our college: the real unsung heroes of our school. just as the seniors leave pleasant memories with the deans, so does each dean leave a parting message to them: Farewell with our blessings. May peace come to the world soon so that you will be able to embark on your careers without fear of interruption. G. Row1,AND CoI.1.1Ns, Dean It is to you, whom the world of tomorrow will look for guidance in facing the stern realities which inevitably arise. I feel certain that you will carry the torch of enlightenment as a beacon light in the rocky waters that lie before us. JOHN H. PRIME, Associate Defm As you enter upon your business careers, the very best wishes of all of us go with you. We are proud of what you have accomplishedg we shall be happy in your future achievements. ROBERT B. JENKINS, Assistant Dean This is not good-bye. Let us hear from you often and see you when, as alumni, you drop around to renew old friend- shipsf' CHARLES A. DWYER, Assistant Dean The senior who has just finished his college work, very justly feels a splendid sense of achievement. I sincerely hope that you will find this first acccomplishment only the first of a constant series of successes that will make you feel the value of your college training. WILBUR K. NICKEE, As.sist1wzt Dean Give me young men and women who, having more ac- quaintance and sympathy with the achievements of men than with their errors, follies and failures, enter life with brows lighted up with hope, and when beset with difficulties which seem insurmountable, cry out with splendid audacity: If it is possible, it is already done, if it is impossible, then We shall require a little longer!
