Southwestern University has this year celebrated a hundred years in Georgetown that brought us thoughts ot the past and who has participated in it. The Sou ' Wester 1974 is dedicated to the living history of Southwestern University through the personage of Dean Oscar A. Ullrich- The Dean fits into the history of Southwestern like a hand into a tailored glove. By that is meant he has had more contact with more of SU ' s stu- dents than any other person. And the history of Southwestern University is people. Thus he is the focal point. During the forty-five years, 1920 to 1965, he held the positions of professor to dean. Even after his retirement he could not separate himself from the campus. He would walk among the buildings, probably recalling many of the great times of SU. The name of DR. OSCAR A. ULLRICH brings to mind someone who walked to his classes each day with a Sherlock Holmes pipe and briefcase in hand. Many students remember him by the Christmas cards he sent every year. Others know him as a quiet, gentle man with a light sense of humor. In my research to know more about the Dean, I found several delightful stories. And here, in her own words, is one from one of his former stu- dents, Mary Elizabeth Fox. It takes a lot of understanding to be a dean. That ' s one reason that Dr. O.A. Ullrich survived so long in a deanship position. Of course, being a psychologist helped some, too. It was in the middle of a sentence in the middle of a lecture in a psychology class (many springs ago) that she sauntered in just as Dr. Ullrich said, without losing the thread of his lecture, ' If I had won an automobile last night, I would not have come to class at all. ' She didn ' t know whether to go or to stay. She stayed. She had indeed won a small racer at the local cinema the previous evening and had driven ' round and ' round the flag pole (tooting the horn) prior to condescending (as she puts it) to go to the 8:00 a.m. class twenty minutes late.
