If wishes were reality, Professor Massey would, today, be some august dean at some splendid girls' school someplace. That has always, he says, been his wish. But destiny molded a pattern different for the school’s registrar. 1 Ie came here in 1929, joining the Commerce and Business Administration faculty. Even World War 11, which fanatically changed most colleges in the country into girls’ schools, was of little aid to the Professor in his quest. I 1 is first opportunity to teach in a girls school came in 1942 when our campus was virtually man-powerless, but even this was thwarted by bis appointment to the position of registrar, a place he has held since. “It is stirring to see something good grow,” Pro- fessor Massey will retort, when asked to comment on his long stay here. “And I see our College grow- ing, even now. I want to be around when it reaches full growth.” Professor Massey never will have his dream of teaching in a girls' school fulfilled, but he’s not too worried about it. He looks over the vault of records, makes an appointment to greet a graduate, checks his office staff, and is satisfied he's found his place. Miss Belle Provorse Financial Secretary At a social meeting of the alumni not too long ago someone reported on the state of the institution. Naturally Miss Belle Provorse was mentioned and the epigram spoken was as fitting as molasses in a jar. “She is, the man said, the heart ol the in- stitution.” And she is. Probably her name is known in more parts of the world than any other member of our College community. For students have carried it there. And her business relationships have carried it there. Guardian of the treasury and keeper of all financial records have been part of Miss Provorse’s duties since 1916 when she became a member of the family. An acknowledged member of the old guard, she had seen the campus grow from two buildings with a total worth of $550,000.00 to a far sprung campus of 18 buildings with a total worth of approximately Five Million Dollars. As meticulous in her dealings and as firm an exponent of the proper routine for each action as a West Point Cadet, she has created a position for herself that can never be filled hv any one person, other than herself. The sturdiness of the equipment, the buildings, and the financial standing of this college are the memorial to her efforts.

Dean of Instruction An active exponent of the philosophy that the aca- demic functions of the classroom must develop with the times is head of the instructional division of the College. Doctor Mahan, a member of the College community since 1945 has gained national notice for his views on proper methods of teaching, and his development of courses fitting to the present world. He is in charge of all curricular offerings and classroom instructional services. The creed by which he guides his office is that the College must be always on the alert for opportunities to offer advancements which can be adapted here, giving each student the best education possible. Dean of Students The dean of students has under his rule the job of mediator and counselor of all areas of student life and activity beyond the classroom. The center of student social planning, the dean of students is responsible to the administration that sufficient activities and organizations arc created for the students, and he is responsible to the students that such is of merit to them in their education. On the dean’s staff are the counselor of women; the director of guidance; the religious director, health director and the supervisor of student housing and employment. Dr. Dawson is a graduate of this institution, and received his masters at Boston University. Counselor of Women Working directly under the dean of students, the counselor of women, naturally, is primarily interested in the welfare of the female population on campus. As director of Willard Hall and mother superior to the hoards of unknowledged freshmen who invade the cam- pus each fall, Doctor Schuyler serves as mediator, work- ing the girls into organizations and activities best fitted to their personalities. She also holds the position as associate professor of education and psychology and teaches classes in that department. A graduate of the University of Washington, she received her masters degree and doctorate at North- wester University. She has held her present position siiv : 1947. Doctor E. E.
