Quick to attain popularity and tenacious in holding it is Dr. William Pratt Dale. The moment he arrived he became the most talked of member of the faculty, and remained so as he settled into his role of dean of men. Even yet the girls envy the boys in having such a pleasant and sympathetic counsellor. It did not take long for everyone on the campus to locate his office and concoct excuses, if no real ones presented themselves, to chat with him. Always interested and helpful, Dr. Dale has this reputation, He can make that course in government interestingf' Although he has been with us but a rela- tively short time, Dean Dale already has be- come a part of Howard College. He has ab- sorbed our spirit and contributed his until in short order the two have merged, and Dean Dale is Howard. 'af' .. 861114, U lil lf T II H A l N In her lofty ambition to culturate every freshman who comes to Howard and leaves, diploma in hand, Mrs. Obenchain is often un- successful, but her influence in the fine art of pouring tea has made us realize by the time we are seniors politer and more polished realms of society. She does her best to make true ladies of the girls and fill them with dreams of graciousness and charm. At least, she sets a noble example. Dean Obenchain is a part of that greatness of Howard that can not be explained and must be experienced. She shares with the other fac- ulty members the spirit of friendliness and help- fulness so peculiar to our campus, with the special office of being advisor to the girls.

xx l l l I l eom lgllllllt l Students at Howard College are at a disadvantage. When people come to view our campus, they , say, Where are the beautiful buildings? Where are fraternity and sorority rows? Show us what 4 you have at Howard that makes you love her so.', NVe can show them our campus but we cannot tell them what it means. They can sit with us under Sherman Oak, but it does not speak to them. We can show them our greatness in men like Dean Burns but how can we give them the spirit of the man as he gives it to us? Q The dean is a scholar, a teacher, an intellectual man, yet still a friend to every amazed spoho- more who finds that Chaucer was a real man. Dean Burns embodies many of the things that belong to Howard College. Few who graduate will ever forget the traditional Christmas address on books, the chapel introductions, the words of in- spiration in class and out with which he tried to fill our earthy beings with impressions ethereal. If you have need of historial data or tradition about the College, the dean is the man to approach. The love of the dean for Howard College is expressed in his own words, When I die, give a yell for Howard over my coffin. If I fail to rise, you may shovel in the dirt. l l i121
