DEAN LOUISE OBENCHAIN Mrs. Obenchain besides being an advisor of girls finds time to teach several courses in Sociology. There the many students hear one who is vitally interested in the welfare of our fellow man. After hearing these lectures we can easily understand why she is a Dean of Women. Mrs. Obenchain gives advice to many girls in an understanding way, helping to solve their many problems. We see Mrs. Obenchain in many different phases of college life: hurrying to her class room to impart lcnowledgeg baclc to her oflice to advise some bewildered studentg and a gracious hostess at some afternoon tea. She is an epitaph that any young girl should be. She is a model worthv of imitation by the young women of Howard College. llll A41 V5 . CDBENCHAIN

V. P. P. BURNS DEAN PERCY P. BURNS He is the modern interpreter of Shakespeare, who through his own knowledge and under- standing of this genius, implants within his students the desire to obtain for themselves a like knowledge and understanding of Shakes- peare. It is a privilege to be enrolled as a member of his overflowing classes and to par- take of his graciously offered information and wisdom. He is tolerant of the misdemeanors of others but a strict taskmaster to himself in his own efforts in building and enlarging the scope of learning for his students. May the students who have rested under your influence and tutelage repay their debt of gratitude to you by living a richer and more useful life! IIZJ
