DR. CLINTON M. ALLEN Dean of Liberal Arts Dean Allen's degrees include a B.A. from the University of Oklahoma and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Columbia. The latter was obtained after he had come to OCU, when he took a leave of absence in order to obtain his doctorate. For the past four years, Dr. Allen has held the title of Dean Emeritus. Ever popular with OCLI students, he was honored by them in 1941 when the annual, Scarab, was dedicated to him jointly with Prof. Peter W. Swartz. Almost every university student drops by to see the dean at least once during the school year to obtain guidance as to what courses he should take. Those little pink slips indicating scholastic or dis- ciplinary probation also originate here! One of the biggest jobs during the year is super- vision of the school catalog each spring, which in- cludes planning of courses, graduation and major re- quirements for all liberal arts departments. Secretary to the Dean, Mrs. Robert Birdwell, is well known to almost everyone. Flo, as she is af- fectionately known, is a graduate of OCU and has worked in the dean's office for the past three years. Dean of Liberal Arts The office of Dean of Liberal Arts was assumed by Dr. Clinton M. Allen this fall upon the resignation of Dean Russell Grow. Formerly head of the Psychology Department, Dean Allen has been associated with OCU for the last 28 years. This is Dr. Allen's second time as dean, in which capacity he served until 1946, when ill health prevented his continuance in office. As dean, Dr. Allen is in charge of general graduation requirements for all students, as well as specific require- ments for majors under the School of Liberal Arts. MRS. FLO BIRDWELL The Boss's Helper Secretary to the Dean
