Dean Donald Clayton Howard Every university has its legend and SMU is no exception. Our legend is very much alive and has an office in the administra- tion building. This office is always full of students and its door is always open. Our legend ' s name is Donald C. Howard and we who have spent four years under his wing see his office as a perfect metaphor for his heart. Officially, his title is Dean of Students, but it could just as easily be Friend of Stu- dents , for such Donald Howard has been during the last twenty three years. Elo- quent and persuasive, he is always willing to speak for students, to right their wrongs, to promote their dreams, to make real their hopes, and to introduce them to the world of their choosing. He has a gift for coun- seling and considers it a major function of his position to make himself truly available to those who seek his guidance. A cham- pion of causes and people, he is that rare individual in any community, educational or otherwise, who spends without hesita- tion the riches of his spirit and his days on others. Dean Howard ' s involvement with student organizations and activities has been extensive and productive. Individuals in the process of choosing graduate schools or starting careers also find Dean Howard ' s assistance invaluable and un- stinting. From writing thoughtful recom- mendations to helping graduates find the right job, he so genuinely wants what is best for others, that instinctively they put their hopes in his hands and their trust in his advice. Nor does his interest in his students end when they are handed their degrees. He remains a presence in their lives through the years, attending their weddings, encouraging their careers, comforting their sorrows, sharing their triumphs.

True to form, Dean Howard is as active in the affairs of the community as he is in the life of the University. He devotes much time and energy to the political causes and candidates he judges honorable and worthy. In turn, he is counted a respected friend whose discerning judgment and shrewd political insight are sought by governmental leaders at all levels from Governor and U.S. Senators to members of the state legislature. A staunch promoter of the arts and humanities Dean Howard has been a consistent force over the years in securing major student financial backing for those pro- grams and projects that culturally enrich not only the learning atmosphere of the University but that of the region as well. In his role as chairman for nineteen years and in more recent times as co-chairperson of the SMU Lecture Series Committee he has played a princi- pal part in bringing to the campus some of the world ' s most famous authors, political leaders, stars of stage and screen, and television personalities. To all of them he has been the University ' s gracious host. When students and alumni talk about Dean Howard, as they often do, a theme emerges, certain key words and phrases are heard over and over again: all speak of his compassion and unconditional support, his sage ad- vice, his willingness to invest chunks of time and self to listen, to guide, to illuminate, to rescue those in emo- tional jeopardy. With a perceptiveness that penetrates as sharply as a laser beam, he sees the potential be- neath an individual ' s often misleading surface. And once he sees it, he delights in helping that person uncover it, shape it, develop it. He is a true miner of diamonds in the rough. And many a human gem flashes brilliantly today because of Dean Howard ' s determination to convince his charges of their own worth. with Phil Donahue 14 i —.- » - with Ralph Nader 13 with Hellen Hayes .
