D f D I C T I fl Among the treasured things we take with us from a university, perhaps the most treasured and val- uable, is the little bit of personality we take from each great personage we meet. No one can meet and know Dean George B. Culver without coming away a finer person. Brusque, almost impolite at times, never attempting to be sophisticated, Dean Culver handles delicate situations with a finnesse and understanding that leaves the matter solved. Emerson stated it well when he said, I like a man who does things. Dean Culver has always done things, never caring who got the credit. He was graduated from Stanford in I 897 and later got an L.L.D. at George Washington University. He came here in 1 92 I . In seventeen years he has seen many boys come and go. As Dean of Men he has helped institute more needed changes than we have space to recount. He helped bring about the Student Co-operative. He has been an ardent supporter of the plan with regard to the housing of lower division men. The dignity of the freshmen has always been upheld by the Dean. Mr. Culver is a familiar figure at track meets. Before coming to Stanford he was track coach at Los Angeles High School in addition to being the head of the Zoology Department. His hobby, which is indica- tive of the gentleness of the man, is bird study. There is one quality which has no name, but sets its possessors far above the crowd. That is the fac- ulty of not taking oneself too seriously. Dean Cul- ver ' s sense of humor is of this subtle blend. He has endeared himself more than he is aware. We are proud to have known this man and dedicate this book to him.
