ROUGH smudgy days, when everybody looked like the third act of a black- face comedy; through sunny days, when spring beckoned from gardens and golf-courses; through rainy days, when students were ditch- ing to the right of them and students were ditching to the left of them, the faculty mem- bers have kept to their posts of higher learning with the stoicism of a Casanova — or do we mean a Casabianca? fa Most vigilant of them all has been PRESI- DENT Nicholas Ricciardi engaged in carry- ing on the activities and carrying out the policies of the college. An inspiration and encourage- ment to everyone with whom he comes in con- tact, Dr. Ricciardi sits energetically behind his mahogany desk, finds time for everyone, and thinks every problem worthy of his attention. We might hand you several pages full of nice dictionary words, like genial, sincere, under- standing, courageous, to give you an insight into the character of Dr. Ricciardi. But we think the love and admiration of 714 variegated students gives a better idea of what a true educator he is. When Dr. Ricciardi can ' t find any other conferences to go into, he goes into conference with the BOARD OF TRUSTEES. This sig- nificant event has a ten- dency to occur about once a month upon a Fri- day afternoon; and long after the most ambitious student has strayed home- ward, the board confers in the inner archives of the president ' s office and pulls the slender wires that control the fate of an empire — at least of a school district. The chair- man is Judge Charles J. O ' Connor. Mr. John M. Oakey acts as secretary. Mr. Samuel E. Andrews Chairman of Board ' . Judge Charles J. O ' Connor Board of Trustees: seated around table from left front: Mr. Wilmer N. Glasscock. Dr. Philip M. Savage, Mr. Samuel E. Andrews, Judge Charles J. O ' Connor, Mr. John M. Oakey. 19

Dean of Men: Frank B. Lindsa) Dean of Women: Dr. Tempe Allison Registrar-Treasurer: Gilbert C. Lamb represents Colton; Dr. Philip M. Savage, Sr., San Bernardino, and Mr. Wilmer N. Glasscock, Rialto. ■jf Speaking of energetic people and the f ate of minor empires brings us directly to the deans. The DEAN OF MEN, Frank B. Lindsay, from the depths of an office abuzz with activity, dispenses leaves of absence, cinch notices, good humor, and friend- ly advice. Mr. Lindsey acts also as head of the calendar committee, directs the giving of aptitude tests, and has charge of a complicated system of student employment. The DEAN OF WOMEN, Dr. Tempe E. Alli- son, from the recesses of her office, usually a labyrinth of costumes and stage sets, sew- ing machines, ironing boards, and fasci- nating furor, advises the women students, consults all comers about what-they-will, and at times confers with certain specified individuals about cinch slips. Dr. Allison manages in the midst of it all to find time to wangle student scholarships, to supervise student employment, to write, and to direct all of the dramatic productions of the col- lege. Gilbert C. Lamb, REGISTRAR- TREASURER, fills his days, and incident- ally, stacks his office, with blue-prints and tile samples for the new auditorium, and with complicated schedules for the use of the Social Hall and A- 17. He orders chairs and tables for everything from a doughnut sale to an alumni banquet, and makes financing plans for the Cafeteria, the Book- store, and the Warwhoop. 20
