Deans Himn .1. Clark Oraliam • J. Clark Graham. Dean of Ripon Col- lege inspires both respect and true friend- ship bv means of his delightful personal- ity. His sense of humor is to be admired and n.3 ability to discuss any topic makes every student eager to know him well. The beauty of nature, which he is able to describe so vividly, is the door that opens upon his favorite pastime hiking, and vacationing in the North Woods. Then. too. it is not unusual for Riponites to see him pedaling his bicycle out South Woods way. Dean Graham is interested in literature criticism. He is forever lending a helpful hand to budding journalists on the campus. All that is good in Ripon College is em- bodied in the splendid character of Dean J. Clark Graham. I)e in iVlcirjorie Simpson • Miss Simpson, a newcomer at Ripon College, has found a place in the hearts of all those who know her. Her zest for living and her deep interest in the activities of the college have brought her in close touch with every stu- dent. Our Dean of Women is an outdoor en- thusiast. During the winter months, she is seen heading for a high slope on which to try her skis. She has a vast knowledge of mountain climbing and skiing due to her years spent in northern Idaho and in the east. Her taste runs to sixteenth century lit- erature in particular, and she also finds much enjoyment in the New York stage productions. Along with her administrative duties which she handles so well, she is in charge of the unaffiliated freshman girls’ dormi- tory and is always available to give ad- vice and to sympathize with freshman problems. thirtren

President Evans • There is no better way to prove Ri- pon's claim of being an “intimate college than a trip to President Evans' office. From this unpretentious spot. Prexy, the symbol of all the college attempts to stand for. directs the affairs of the school with a completeness of understanding that is astonishing to the visitor. Administrative affairs, speaking en- gagements. and innumerable other matters keep the president busy from dawn to dayfall. Yet no student with personal troubles has ever been turned away. “See Prexy about it has become an axiom on the campus . . . and Dr. Evans has never failed to uphold the truth. Kipling's lines about mingling with kings and commons on equal bases apply here. Entirely sincere, hating hypocrisy. Prexy makes no effort to put up a front. It is his force of personality, the man him- self. that makes an impression not soon effaced. The college is entering a prosperous period. Physically, it has grown by bounds in the last two years. That it will continue to expand morally and intellectu- ally may be accepted as fact. For Ripon is fortunate in having one of the few men who put first things first at its helm. The future can bring no problems Dr. Evans cannot solve. Iwffar
