DEAN OF MEN . . . meets college men with ezzk' of Jzezeerify and Qpfimzlfm.. t'Hello there, how are you today? is the salutation frequently offered by Dean C. A. Sevrinson, Dean of Men. Assistant to the President, and Profes- sor of Education. He is intensely in- terested in the development of person- ality in college men, their variety of interests and also the more technical phases of their college training. Dean Sevrinson The Dean seems to use Dale Carnegie's methods in the diplomatic way he offers advice and suggestions, and an air of optimism predominates his speech. Among the duties bestowed upon him is the administration of N.Y.A. set-up. In this capacity he becomes acquainted with the needs and qualifications of the applicants and dis- tributes the limited appropriations among the most worthy. These jobs summed up make him one of the busiest men on the campus. However, Dean Sevrinson is capable at his position and never hurries anyone in conference with him no matter how insig- nificant a problem may be and upon leaving offers a radiating smile and a come on in again-any time . DEHN OF WOMEN . . . realzbey ezmbzhfon of college dezyy . . . The office of the Dean of Women seems to be the catch-all for all affairs pertaining to the women of the campus which are not definitely allocated to some other depart- ment. Efficiently handling this multiplicity of duties is Pearl Dinan, Dean of Women. Long before the fall term begins she is busy corresponding with potential freshman women students as well as returning upper-classmen seeking her advice on their per- sonal problems. In addition to seeing that personal problems concerning any girl on the campus are ironed out, Dean Dinan is the guiding hand of Senior Staff, the Campus Sister organization, the Women's Senate, and Panhellenic. When Dean Dinan isn't occupied with Y these duties she can be found attend- ing various faculty committee meet- ings. Metta Cleveland and Dean Dinan uA'b 1 The capable way in which Dean Pearl fills her position can be attri- buted to the fact that she likes her work. As Dean of Women she fulfills an ambition she had in her own under- graduate days.
