SKIETCH BOOK BOARD OF TRUSTEES MODESTLY HIDING behind the title of Board of Trustees are the twen- ty-six guides of Occidental life. The full importance of the group is not realized by the student generally, but without its functioning there would be no systema- tically organized college. The Board of Trustees is the high court of all campus life, and holds sway under the guidance of Dr. Robert Freeman, who commands the situation with his genial Scotch burr. Among those who contribute their ser- vices for the welfare of the campus are Mrs. Clifford Allen, who has been con- nected with the State Board of Educa- tion and who is especially interest- ed in adult education. There is also Alphonzo Bell, whose efforts for the ad- vancement of Occidental are well- known. Other benefactors are Dr. Arthur Buell and Jed Burns. A unique situation is found in the fact that Dr. E. P. Clapp and his daughter Elizabeth Clapp McBride are both mem- bers of the board. I Bird, Bell, Taylor, McLain.

REMSEN DuBois Bnzo President, Occidental College AS THE GENTLE shadows of mel- low maturity cast their mantle over the campus, each year sees some new con- structive measure added for greater smoothness and contentment in campus life. One cannot forget the guiding spirit of the four years of a student's college career, for this period is the stra- tegic era of character formation. Rem- .sen DuBois Birdhas been in the fore- ground, an ever-changing foreground, in spirit always the same, for a ten year period in which Occidental has been eX- ternally created. When Dr. Bird first took over the direction of the organization there were but three standing evidences of higher learning. These two class buildings, Johnson and Fowler, and the men's dor- Ten forget the guid- mg spirit of a student? college mitory, Swan Hall, are now but three of eleven praiseworthy edifices standing for the cause of education, together with embryonic dreams of several more. But a college cannot subsist on mor- tar and stone alone. The one predomi- nant dream of future addition is enrich- ment of mental facilities in faculty and research equipment. This side too has had its attention, for the endowment has been increased m.ore than a million dol- lars since his initial year, and Dr. -Bird believes this to be the field deserving the greatest direction of activity in the future. S Besides being an able college presi- dent, Dr. Bird has many other construc- tive activities which vie for his interest. He is president of the Pacific Southwest Academy of Social and Political Science, president of the Adult Education Asso- ciation of California, a member of the advisory council of the Philharmonic Qrchestra Association, and a director of the Hollywood Bowl Association. 1 One cannot career . . . r,: --4 -..,,,, -, 4 ,

Cleland, Dean of the Faculty and Vice-President of the College, is ex- ceptionally well-qualified to act as a co- ordinator between the college and bo-ard of trustees. He was graduated from the original Qccidental Academy in 1907, received his A.B. degree, and has been connected with the college as professor and executive since l9l2, at which time he returned from Princeton with his Ph.D. At various times he has been dean, and for half a year acting presi- dent of the institution. His geniality is outstanding, and smoothes over many a difficult interview deemed necessary between authority and student. Twelve HNIX DEAN IRENE T. MYERS LATE ANY AFTERNOON one can find Dean Irene T. Myers busy at work on wom.en's affairs, which are all handled through her office as Dean of Women. Her attention is centered par- ticularly upon outside relations, local direction of the women students being left to Mrs. Julia Pipal. Dean llflyers spends much of her efforts to help those who have sincere ability to obtain opportunity in higher education and outlets for vocational tal- ents in life work. ln carrying out this policy, she schedules personal interviews with aspiring women students and man- ages to provide them with favorable out- side contacts. VVhen not so engaged, Dean Nlyers enjoys her cozy hillside cottage. f i, . f9i.,-.Jfg gy. ,fl -'.' -P' .Rx . .g' 'ff- N 21 3 L L l 1 i ' .f .--1 1 . .
