Guiding the destiny of Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity is the all-important function of the Board of Trustees. Members are elected to the board by the alumni or by the Ohio Confer- ences of the Methodist Church. President Soper is an ex-officio member of the board by virtue of his position as head of the univer- sity. Being the legal owners of the college, this influential group meets twice a year to consider policies and suggestions submitted to it at these times by its committees. Among these nine standing committees, which are appointed by the president of the board, are those on investment, development, faculty and instruction, and student welfare. Eight of the groups meet at call while the ninth com- mittee, being the one on investments, meets every two weeks to keep the financial affairs of the university in good order. An executive committee elected by the board of trustees carries on the business of the group in between the semi-annual meet- ings. To the combined activities of the board and its capable committees is due the efficient and progressive way in which the university operates. IP BOA O F TRUSTEES :[22].-

D R AND MRS S O P E R Comfort, hospitality, and good cheer fairly radiate from this picture of Dr. and Mrs. Soper, taken in their home. It is this very feeling of welcome and ease that impresses visitors in the Soper home. As a hostess, Mrs. Soper ' s gracious and frankly unassuming manner is a pleasing complement to Dr. Soper ' s genial- ity. By virtue of her position as wife of the president of the university, Mrs. Soper enter- tains not only members of the faculty but also students and parents. Hers is the key position in establishing friendly and understanding relation among professors, students, and parents. Dr. and Mrs. Soper through their informal contacts with people con- nected with the university carry on the justly famous tradition of good fellowship at Ohio Wesleyan. Ik -=[2

DEANS OF THE UNIVERSITY There is no need for shush, here, come the Deans around Ohio Wesleyan campus. William L. Sanders has the ability to be both a friend and Dean of Men at the same time. He maintains order, tells jokes in Psychology class, and is a per- fect chaperon for a dance. He regulates uni- versity auto licenses for students ' cars and artfully preaches the evils of intoxication. Dean Sheridan, popular Dean of the College, can also claim office as head of the Depart- ment of Education. Dean Sheridan is origin- ator of the much striven for Dean ' s List for lucky students. He listens daily to the pleas of students for petitions of numerous kinds. His own spirit of cooperation places a fine stepping-stone towards an even better stu- dent cooperation. The girls proudly claim Miss Nicholson for their Dean. She is extremely popular among the girls and men. She is gracious at the head of a banguet table as well as in an intimate group of pajama-clad girls. Girls appreciate her active work in establishing more freedom and representation for them on the campus. They enjoy her humor, her companionship, and admire her abilities.
