She has the responsibility of personal counseling, scheduling student labor, arranging the social and sports cal- endar and supervising housing programs. DEAN OF MEN The Dean of Men, Mr. Lon Wilson is in charge of personal counseling, housing, and student work program on the campus. His duties as Dean of Men are combined with his work as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. PRESIDENT EMERITUS UEL W. LAMKIN It takes something besides Books and Buildings to make a college. The Tower tells the story of that something else — people and their doings during this past year. There really is no substitute for scholar- ship. Just as truly nothing can take the place of your personal relations with other stu- dents. In the years to come you will get satisfac- tion and joy from what you learned from Books in Buildings. But your closest ties will be with your college friends, those whom you meet every day, and with whom you associ- ate in the classroom, campus, and community. You are a fine lot — the best generation we have yet known, God Bless You Every One. Uel W. Lamkin. Page 27

BOARD OF REGENTS Behind the planning for better educational efficiency in any college must be a certain group who through their conscious efforts, willing cooperation, and reliable advice determine the best possible means of man- agement for progressive education. Such are the duties of the Board of Regents. The Board of Regents of this College is composed of seven members. They are ap- pointed by the governor. They work with President Jones and decide the most effi- cient course of action. DEAN OF FACULTY Dr. M. C. Cunningham became Dean of the Faculty in 1945. He had previously been head of the Education Department of the College. Dean Cunningham received his Bachelor of Arts Degree at Westminster Col- lege in Fulton, Missouri, Master of Arts and Doctor of Education Degrees at the Uni- versity of Missouri. He also spent some time as director of finance in the State Depart- ment of Education before coming to the College. Dean Cunningham handles the affairs and problems of students and faculty with a degree of efficiency and fairness unsurpassed on the campus. The warm smile, the friendly greeting, and the interest displayed toward every one have endeared the Dean to all those attending the college. Page 26

IN MEMORIAM Mr. T. H. Cook is gone. No longer will his physical presence lend dignity and esteem on occasion. No longer will his kindly voice greet and teach those who come through the doors of Northwest Missouri State Teachers College. No longer will the twinkle in his eye win the confidence of the timid one. Yes, Mr. Cook has gone, but a man of his caliber never dies. For forty some years he lived in Maryville and taught in our college. A quiet and unassuming man, with the ideals which he possessed, cannot contact hundreds of young men and women, yes, even mature students, for that length of time and not leave an indelible imprint. No greater tribute could be given him than, for those who knew him, to resolve that his years shall not have been lived in vain but that life for them shall have a new meaning, and thus he shall not perish from the earth. Irene Lowry Wright, Class of 1925 President, Alumni Association Dr. F. R. Anthony, formerly of the College Health Department, died after a long illness just as the Tower was going to press. Thou- sands of alumni who knew him and appre- ciated his efficient service will remember him for his many kind deeds. Page 28
