Always friendly, always smiling, encouraging the stu- dents to come to them for help--these phrases charac- terize the attitude that the Southwestern faculty mem- bers take in relationship to their students. Southwestern didn't get its reputation for good will and friendliness from the student body alone. Every teacher in the entire college has the admiration and respect of the students for this very reason. On our campus, every faculty member is a friend of the students. We see none of the remembering students by a number rather than by name that is so customary in other colleges. Southwestern students have the op- portunity to learn from the best instructors in every field and to learn the good times and comradeship that can be shared by faculty and students alike. These men pictured below operate both behind and in front of the scenes. Without the admin- istrative paper work and the decisions necessary in the offices of the Dean and the Registrar, life at Southwestern College would not flow so smoothly. DEAN WILLIAM MONYPENY has the additional titles of associate professor of psychology and Director of Placement. Through his office, jobs in professions and businesses are joined with qualified Southwestern graduates.
