CULVffi DEAN OF MEN at Stanford since 1920, George B. Culver will retire at the end of this academic year, to be succeeded in the office by Basketball Coach John W. Bunn. After his graduation from Stanford Uni- versity with the class of I 897, Dean Culver was asso- ciated with the Smithsonian Institute in Washington for several years, and then became head of the bio- logical department of the Los Angeles High School, working in this office until he came to Stanford. His work in the capacity of Dean of Men has included serving on several administrative and advisory com- mittees, acting as supervisor of men ' s dormitories, and acting as general advisor to the men students. miss yosi DEAN OF WOMEN MARY YOST is primarily in- terested and concerned with all matters that affect the increasingly large feminine portion of Stan- ford ' s more than 4,000 student population.

LELAND W. CUTLER TRUSTEES ENTRUSTED TO the fifteen members of the Board of Trustees is the responsibility for the control and management of the University. Subject only to the restrictions of the original Founding Grant, the Board possesses almost absolute power over Stanford ' s finances, property, and academic program. Headed by Leland W. Cutler, president for the past seven years, the present members of the Board include Wallace McK. Alexander, Harry Chandler, Frank P. Peering, William P. Fuller, Jr., Joseph D. Grant, Herbert C. Hoover, Ira S. Lillick, Christian O. G. Miller, John T. Nourse, Francis Price, Stuart L. Rawlings, Paul Shoup and Marcus Sloss. Aside from Mr. Grant, who was appointed to the Board by Senator Stanford in 1891 and has served ever since as life member, those constituting the group are elected by the body itself to serve for a ten-year term. Although graduation from Stanford is not a requisite for membership on the Board, over half the members are alumni. Hoover, Rawlings, Grant, Roth, Cutler, Wilbur, Sloss, Lillick, Peering, Nourse.

WHEN J. HUGH JACKSON, dean of the Graduate School of Business, stepped into the shoes of Almon E. Roth in the office of Acting Comptroller of the University last year, he succeeded one whose competence had set a precedent hard to follow. How- ever, his capability and his attitude of good-fellowship with all have proven him to be a worthy successor in the difficult problem of handling University finance. ALFRED R. MASTERS is probably one of the most generally known and talked about characters on the Stanford campus. In his capacity as Graduate Manager of the A. S. S. U. he has last word in all student appropriations, and as general manager of the Board of Athletic Control he is concerned with all matters relative to athletic events. ELIOT G. MEARS has one of the more difficult and at the same time interesting offices in the University administra- tion in his capacity as Director of Summer Quarter, for it is in this quarter more than in any other that Stanford students come to school either to learn lots or to play even more than usual. 12
