When the administration cannot recall students and faculty members of bye-gone days, they call Dean Mac. lf he does not happen to remember, he can resort to his catalogue file, which is the most com- plete on the campus. The students of A. and M. can in- deed be glad to have such a person- ality on the campus. Dean MclClroy's cannot be picked up just anywhere. llnder the Dean of Women, Miss Julia li.
