Zachary From a heavily-filed office of transcripts, grade slips, teacher applications and multitudinous data of student and alumni, Professor Einford A. Marquart acts as guide and final judge of all school registration. Not only has he pushed into the maze and solved our problems successfully, but he has of late brought into effect a new system which decid- edly facilitates more rapid and efficient registra- tion. Outside of his official field he functions as coun- selor, as a general board of information and as the school ' s critical informant of contemporary world polity. Page Twenty-one

Administrative Officers Dr. A. L. Parrott came to Olivet College in Sep- tember of 1938. During the five years of his executive work thus far the college has pro- gressed so rapidly in all of its aspects that only the highest commendation is in order. Besides the general supervision of the college, special oversight of the various departments of instruc- tion and academic administration. Dr. Parrott ' s time is also devoted to church and civic affairs in which he is an active participant. As public relations director Dr. Lawrence Howe has a position that is quite demanding. It is he who contacts all prospective students and informs them of their possibilities here. With his rare sense of solid thinking and a keen sense of refined humor he is in demand as a lecturer wherever he is known. His activities, however, during the past year have been markedly minimized because of an illness from which he is now recovering. Always sympathetic and understanding with youth, Professor J. F. Leist, Treasurer and Busi- ness Manager of the college, might be character- ized as vertically diminutive but virtually dynamic. In his charge, besides having all the financial arrangements of the college go through his hands, are all student problems. Student finan- cial problems are especially within his jurisdic- tion. Few are the days that his office does not have a waiting list. Page Twenty

DEANS As Dean of the School of Liberal Arts, Carl S. Mc- Clain is the hub of the working machinery of the school. Some of his many duties include the coordi- nation of student activity and administrative rulings, direction of all student employment, and sympathetic advising of Reserve men and Draftees. While these duties constitute some of his activity, his main effort is in relation to the scholastic standing of the college as an institution. As personal advisers to the men and women of the college, Deans Mildred E. Durigg and Ronald D. Jones are active in guiding the social life and solving the more intimate problems that arise. It is a well-known fact that Dean Jones is never too busy to assist anyone who is seeking counsel. He is a man whose genial spirit and frankness has won for him the confidence of the entire student body. Characterized by helpfulness and kindly understand- ing, Dean Durigg has one of the most difficult posi- tions in the college in that she is responsible for the welfare of all the girls in the dormitory. Also she fills the important position of dining hall hostess. Page Twenty-two
