MA JOR DAVIS jk PHESIDE Major Harwell G. Davis' years of administration at Howard have not been easy ones. When he took over the task of leading the college, it was heavily in debt. Major Davis saw her through this crisis safely only to be confronted with the prob- lem of running a college during a war. The Navy has added greatly to the prestige of the school, but many problems have arisen in correlating civilian and Naval stu- dents activities. The varied positions that he has held have well fitted him for the task. Major Davis has endeared himself to the campus, not only through his business ability but also because of his friendly attitude toward the students. Moreover many of us even now realize that the character of Major Davis is the kind that Howard may build upon through the years. And to his character we give our deepest respect and loyalty.

DEAN DALE Dean Dale is the friendly embodiment of the Howard spirit. His office is the meeting place of large groups of students who gather to absorb his wit and understanding, and his classes are famous, or should we say notorious, for the frec- dom of discussion he allows. His very real inter- est in students led to his appointment as Dean of Men and there is no man on the campus bettcr fitted for this post. 'ww P'!Q' DEAN UBE CHAIN Howard students are proud of our open-minded and open-hearted Mrs. Obenchain. prominent in civic and educational circles. Especially lucky are Women students who claim her attention as advisor for small, yet terrifying problems of the moment. And versed as she is in more important problems of the world, she proves her stature by her willingness to lend a sympathetic ear or to render personal assistance. Mrs. Obenchain is a charming person to know. In short, she is the type of woman college girls dream of becoming.
