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

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

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Xlihat Purdue receives comes from this group of men and women: what Purdue does, IHLISI he sanctioned hy this group of men and WOIUGII. Xvho are they? How do they get so much authority? This group is appointed from among people all over the state of lndiana, in order to give all sections a certain amount of representation in the control over our great state institution. They meet here at the University once each semester and lay out a plan of action for that particular semester. These plans are then given to the president and his statf to he carried out. They are a very important part of the machinery, and are the direct connecting link hetxveen the people of the state and the University. They are not- however, well known hy the students: in fact, they are very seldom even seen hy them. For this reason the Dehris is introducing to the students the members of the Board of Trustees and its otheers. There are on the statll three men who are recommended to the governor hy the alumni association who in turn appoints them olhcially: these men are Palmer R. Edgerton of Nlarion, limmett Hall of Indianapolis, and David lj. Ross, of Lafayette. The remaining six memhers are appointed directly hy the governor. This year David lf. Ross succeeded Henry XY. lVlarhsall as president, James XY. Noel took Nlr. Ross' place as vice-president, Mary Mills Wvilliams remained as secretary, and James M. lfoxvler as treasurer. Tivo new memhers were added to the hoard this year to take the places left vacant by Franklin lf. Chandler and Henry W. Marshall of Lafayette. They are J. limmett Hall and ilosia K. l.illy hoth of Indianapolis. ll 1 .E gfizinnm hd L ..u.1. Sui
