Counsel- ing, due to the determined leadership of Miss Ida E. Hawes, Dean of Guidance, was uninterrupted, while vocational education and the introduction of an integration program advanced the effectuality of classroom routine. Mr. John A. Anderson, Dean of Records, centered his efforts m straightening, under strained conditions, the wealth of record material that comes to him with each new semester. Finding a place for the students on a campus with decreased accommodations fell to the lot of Dean of Men lames P. O ' Mara, who spent his summer executing the change of housing.

Robbins, Dean of Women, receiving the adviser- ship of the student body, responded to the task of arranging for social affairs with limited facilities. PAGE 10 JAMES P. O ' MARA C. J.
