LA ENCINA ' DR. IRENE T. xMYERS, Dean of Women: Dean Myers is the effective power that ad- vances the women interests in college and in outside relations. Her profound respect for sin- cere ability is the force that has made it possible for some fifteen women to gain the advantages of higher education this year, for four hundred women to view the various vocations open to women in life w ork, and for recognition of national policies of women in accomplishment. This completes Dean Myers ' thirteenth year of association with Occidental. - BL ' RT RICHARDSON, Chairman of Men ' s Affairs: On the first day of the college year over four-fifths of our stu- dents were able to sign a ques- tionnaire issued by the faculty committee of Men ' s Affairs, of which Burt Richardson is chair- man, stating that they had se- lected a particular profession or vocation which would represent their life ' s work. The classwork of students studying under such a plan is certain to be of greater interest and of better quality. Ticentif- three

L A E N C I N A DR. ROBERT G. CLE- LAND, Dean of the Faculty: The office of the Dean of the Faculty is primarily concerned with the academic life of the college. This includes general supervision of all matters of an academic character originating in or directed by the faculty, general supervision of the scho- lastic standing and interests of the students, and a coordinating relationship between the col- lege and the Board of Trustees in matters peculiarly of an academic nature. DR. ARTHUR G. COONS, Executive Secretary to the President: The executive secretary mitigates the harsh details of public relations, pub- lic events, and publicity for the institution. In internal campus life he has been acting chair- man of the department of eco- nomics, chairman of the student aid committee, which has bene- fited approximately two hun- dred students, and a member of the executive committee. More- over, he is an active member of the alumni organization and of various faculty committees. Twenty-two

L A E N C I N A FLORENCE N. BRADY, Registrar: Emphasis in the Registrar ' s office during the past year has been placed upon careful selection of candidates for admission to Occidental and upon general strengthening of procedure in handling academic records of students. The year ' s enrollment is the highest in the history of the college, and new students entering during the year have been chosen on the basis of scholastic excellence and of desirable personal qualifications. FRED F. McLAIN, Comptroller: The Comptroller, who is the chief business officer, works unobtrusively for the benefit of the students and is accountable to the board of trus- tees for the receipts, disburse- ments, and accounts of the fin- ances of the college. Constant care in the beautification of the physical plant and grounds has been augmented this year by the development of the new music building on Chapel Hill, which is a part of a potential larger unit, by the leveling and turfing of a playfield and parking area, and by other means.
