ADM I N I ST The operation and smooth functioning of our college depends upon the time and effort of these people— The administration of Pitt State. DEAN HELEN K. SCHUYLER is the Counselor for Women and Associate Professor of Education and Psychology. As if this weren ' t enough, she serves tirelessly on many committees and with many organizations. Her colorful and dynamic personality —her wonderful sense of humor— have made her one of the most popular and respected individuals on our campus since she came here in 1947. DEAN RALPH W. WRIGHT, Counselor for Men and Assistant Professor of Education and Psychology, has been at Pitt State since 1949. He served as an instructor until 1953, when he assumed his present position as a vital part of the college. Many college organizations depend upon this very capable, very wise administrator— a friend of all Pitt Staters! DEAN ERNEST MAHAN, Dean of Instruction and Head of the Curriculum Council, may always be found in his office at 108 Russ Hall, ready to deal fairly and justly with any faculty or student prob- lem. He is also responsible for seeing that the cur- ricula offered by the college are adequate and well planned. This well-known Dean has served in this capacity since 1945. He is a mighty good man to know. In 1954, DEAN PAUL T. DIXON took over the reins as Dean of Students from Dean Dawson, who went on leave. He served very capably and efficiently in this position for two years. He has now reassumed his position as Co-ordinator of Secondary Education, which he has held since 1950. Welcome back to Pitt State! After a two-year leave, it is good to see DEAN EUGENE E. DAWSON on our campus again. Although he is new to many of the students, his friendliness and past reputation as Dean of Students have made a good impression. Before assuming his present position in 1949, Dean Dawson served as Professor of Psychology and Edu- cation and Director of Religious Activities from 1946- 1949. PROF. MILBURN J. LITTLE, a member of the Ad- ministration since 1954, controls the college fi- nances. This includes the difficult jobs of budgeting expenditures, keeping accounts of finances and al- lowing money for purchases, to mention a few. Be- sides capably handling this multitude of responsi- bility, Mr. Little sponsors two college organizations. The man who manages to keep order among the maze of records in the Registrar ' s Office is C. RAY BAIRD. As director of Admissions, Mr. Baird gives admission to new students, keeps records and tran- scripts in order, checks on requirements, and, in general, does a remarkable job. Mr. Baird has been at Pitt State since 1947. Before assuming his pres- ent position in 1953 he was Counselor in the Guid- ance Bureau. The newest member of the Administration is DR. LESTER L. TRACY JR., Director of Field Services. Sooner or later all Pitt State graduates get to know this man. He is the one that helps launch them out into the world in their prospective careers. Dr. Tracy has served as Director in the Placement Bu- reau since 1951, assuming Administration status only recently as the first Director of Field Services at KSTC. Dean Wright Dean Dawson
