te eans William Emory Smyser Dean of the College Eugenie R. Overturf Dean of Women William L. Sanders Dean of Men Many years experience in the various fields of education, the highest of intellectual attainments, a keen appreciation of the fullest possible life, and a clear conception of the problems of university and college students make Dean William E. Smyser one of the most powerful and steady forces in Ohio Wesleyan University. After graduating from old Wesleyan in Connecticut in 1889, Dean Smyser attended Johns Hopkins University for two years. He received an M. A. from old Wesleyan in 1891, a Litt. D. from Chattanooga in 1916, and a LL. D. from Hamline in 1927. He has been connected with the faculties of Dickinson Seminary, Northwestern University, DePauw University, and the Ohio State summer school. Since 1900 he has been with Ohio Wesleyan University, in the English department and serving as registrar until his appointment as dean in 1917. Charming socially, brilliant intellectually, sympa- thetic and understanding, Dean Eugenie R. Over- turf combines the qualities of a perfect dean of women. She received a B. A. degree from Ohio State University in 1908. Leaving her position as hostess in Pomerene Hall at Ohio State, she came to Ohio Wesleyan as acting dean of women March 23, 1923 and in June of that year was appointed dean of women. Mrs. Overturf has the single honor of being the only woman ever elected to the Admin- istration Committee of the university and she serves on numerous other campus committees. She is a member of the National Association of Deans of Women, the American Association of University Women, the Altrusa Club, and Kappa Alpha Theta. A life of varied experiences and interests and a keen understanding of college men and their problems have made Dean William L. Sanders a most success- ful dean of men since he came to the Ohio Wesleyan campus three years ago. Graduating from Ohio Wesleyan in 1913, Dean Sanders received his B. D. degree from the Garrett Biblical Institute in 1917 and his M. A. from Columbia University in 1926. In 1918 he served as chaplain in the Balloon Division of the United States Army. Following a pastorate in Indianapolis, Indiana, Dean Sanders spent four years in China doing education work and part time teaching in the University of Nanking. His chief hobby is his three charming children. He is an en- thusiast of tennis, golf, fishing, handball, and motor- ing. Twenty-eight
