Cox as Dean of the Philadel- phia Textile Institute in June, 1943, the re-establishment ofthe '4A.nalysis'7 now affords us the opportunity to extend a belated welcome. Dean Cox is not a newcomer to our school. He is well known, not only among the students and faculty, but in the industry as well. His textile career began when he was awarded a scholarship to the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art where he combined his studies of lnterior Decoration and teacher's training with the curriculum of the Textile School. After his graduation he established a commercial design business. Several years later, Mr. Cox was responsible for the organization and development of the Jacquard ahd Color Departments in the Textile School. As a result, he became Art Directo1', and spent 45 years developing and teaching those courses. From that position, he became Assistant Dean in 1940. Then, in 1943, Richard S. Cox was elected Dean of the Philadelphia Textile Institute. The positions he has held and the organizations of which he is a member have brought Dean Cox into contact with a great many manufacturers and other important men in the Textile fields. To them he has shown the functions of the school and the importance and benefits of textile education-and to him they have given an under- standing of the requirements of the industry for their teehanically trained men. For us, the students, our Dean has clone everything in his power to maintain and improve the high standards of P.T.1. Through his long experience and wealth of information, Dean Cox is our friend and counselor. o' Blius noun. ,',',', lg 'un U snnxx' UU , .ur Munn

AIIIVII S 5?3'f ' 1 ' I l 1 l I li HI l Wlith the large increase in the student body of the Philadelphia Textile lnstitute in the past few years, it was not only necessary to enlarge the faculty, but to select someone to assume the administrative responsibilities of the school. Bertrand W. Hayward, as Director of the Philadelphia Textile lnstitute, occupies the newly built front office, to assume these duties. Mr. Hayward comes to us from Bridgewater, Massachusetts. From Colby College he received his B.S. Degree, and an lVl.A. Degree from Columbia University. At both of these schools he was elected to honorary fraternities. Several years ago he was also admitted to doctorate study at Harvard University. Serving in the capacity of teacher, coach and principal in schools in Maine and Massachusetts, established Mr. Haywardes prominence as a member of educational association. These include, among others: The National Education Association, New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and Massachusetts Principals' Association, some of which he served on executive committees. These activities, however, have not prevented Mr. Hayward from active participa- tion in numerous community affairs. ln most of these organizations, including the Red Cross, U.S.0., Y.NI.C.A., and Selective Service Board, he served as an executive. It is most apparent that Mr. Hayward's accomplishments have well equipped him for his position at the Philadelphia Textile Institute. Yve extend to him, our heartiest wishes for success.

DIRECTOR BERTRAND W. HAYWARD The Philadelphia Textile Institute is your school. Whatever success you have will be partly because of its services to you. On the other hand, our success depends upon your integrity and resourcefulness, your ability and effort. Our futures are inextricably woven together and we cannot separate our interest in, and concern for, one another. As Director, l invite your efforts to improve yourself and to benefit your school. The Dean and l, as well as all other faculty members, stand ready to assist you and ask only that you first extend every effort to solve your own problem because it is through the strength each man gains in solving his problems that he becomes fit to climb what otherwise might be insurmountable obstacles ahead. Faculty and students have been cordial in their greetings to me, a new comer, and their cooperative approach to our school problems has been salutary. All of us have much to do. The part of each faculty member, of each student is important. lt is up to each of us to be alert to our problems and to apply our utmost effort toward securing an ever better organi- zation, educational and social, for our school. With continued and expanding cooperation with this office from faculty and students and with the excellent support which the able and far-seeing members of our Board of Governors and Foundation provide, and with an active alumni promoting our school, the possibilities for our advance are unlimited. Our plans for progress must be evolutionary not revolutionary and they will require 'constructive effort from us all. lt is obvious that the better our school becomes, the better the chances for success for all its graduates become. Consequently, even from a purely selfish viewpoint, eac'h of us must work with all the rest, conscientiously and cooperatively, so that in the fine new buildings that will be built there will be housed the best college spirit and the best educational program of any textile college in America. Our goal cannot be less than this. Together we must decide and act so that is can be no other. I2
