ormond john drake john warren knedler, ir. The name of every student at the Uni- versity College has passed through the- hands of Ormond J. Drake, who serves the college as Director of Admissions. A Phi Beta Kappa from Michigan, As- sistant Dean Drake also heads the De- partment of Speech and Dramatics at the Heights, where he has been teach- ing since 1936. An expert in the field of public speaking, the Dean is actively engaged as special lecturer to many groups, including among them, Johnson and Johnson and the Ortho Pharmaceu- tical Corporation, both of New Bruns- wick, New Jersey. This year Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations heard a series of eight lectures from Dean Drake on the topic of Communi- cations. The burden of supervising the program- ming that students must complete twice each year falls upon one man in the University College, Assistant Dean John Warren Knedler, Jr. ln addition to his position as Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, Dean Knedler also serves on the curriculum and scholarships com- mittees. An Associate Professor of Eng- lish, he was graduated from Harvard in 1924, and went on with his graduate studies at the same institution, receiv- ing his Master's in 1927 and a doctorate in 1937. During the war he was ap- pointed Associate Professor of Physics, while continuing his English teaching, and later became executive secretary of the former department. Dean Knedler teaches two courses, Modern British Literature, and Shakespeare in alter- nate years.

Professor Ranney spent his undergraduate days at Dartmouth and went on to take an M.A. at Harvard. ln addition to his faculty duties, he is a member of the Committee on Admissions, the Scholarship Committee, and is also treasurer of the Heights chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Among the courses he teaches are European Novel, English Novel, and Advanced Composition. winthrop rodgers ranney In 1946 Assistant Professor Alan Coutts, then a Speech instructor, was asked by Dean Baer to assume the position of Director of Student Activities, and since that date he has been actively engaged in student affairs.
