3 Q Q rf 'Q DEAN FISHER lYhen one takes over the duties of Dean of Men. the future that goes with it depends entirely upon the methods used by the man. He may choose to rule with an iron hand. listen to no excuses, enter into no discussions with the students, and, consequently. make all students that come before him suffer whether guilty or just held on suspicion, Then. on the other hand. he may be so lenient as to allow the students to get byu with anything by issueing excuses for no reason at all. or by being too trusting regarding serious matters that are bound to erise. All these situations are met by Dean Fisher in his office, and he is able to punish where punishment is deserved, advise where advice is proper, and does all in his power to use justice and fairness in solving student problems. Dean Fisher, on finishing his second year as Dean of lVlen at Purdue Univer- sity, has shown himself a man of sterling Christian character and ideals,and his decisions in the student eases in which he acted as judge and prosecuting attorney have been of the highest degree of sincerity and fairness. 2 0 J i i -u'.i.u x...-. i .4 aiu-xg :Si hx

-.Q,,..f- E. C. ELLIOTT Pzwidfvzt Purdue University is proud of its president, and justly so, for he is a man among men. Of deep human understanding and high moral attributes, he brings to the presidency of the University an air of vigor and industry to be found only among executives of the highest order. Dr. Elliott is statesman, politician, scholar, business man, executive,Athe embodiment of all the requirements of his responsible and diliicult position. To say that he ills the president's chair with ease and dignity is to voice that which is self-evident to all of the University's great family. The writer has never failed to be inspired listening to one of Prexy's often long, but always vigorous and essentially worthwhile addresses. He is so sincere, so wrapped up in Purdue, so eager that his listeners will catch his meaning and carry his thought away with them, that his most informal talks assume an air of intellectual nuggets of gold, to be hoarded away and kept in reserve in the mind for further thought and contemplation. Purdue is growing by leaps and bounds under Dr. Elliott's guidance. She is expanding both in numbers of students enrolled and in service rendered to the state and nation. Her future, under the present regime is a bright one, to say the least. 19

DEAN SHOEMAKER The Wiomen of Purdue University, who are an ever increasing element of it, have only one person to thank for the increasing popularity of the courses open to Women, and the consequent larger enrollment. She has spent much of her time and has used much influence in making the girls that are enrolled here as com- fortable as possible and at the same time receive the most and best instruction. Dean Carolyn Shoemaker, since her acceptance of the position of dean of women some years ago, has bettered every Woman's department to such a degree that the Purdue co-ed graduate has a well developed mind and a well developed, healthy body to go with it. Her work in the University does not stop with the direct charge of the women, a task in itself, but includes advisor's duties in connections with the Dramatic Clubs. She is excellent in this respect because of her knowledge and experience in Dramatics. During the past summer, old Ladies' Hall was razed, and she has now moved her office to temporary quarters on Marstellar Street where several ofthe previous occupants of Ladies' Hall also live. This is the first step towards the realization of one of Dean Shoemaker's dreams, a VVomen's dormitory on the campus. 21
