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

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. In addi- tion to her work on various administrative and fac- ulty committees and to her work as advisor to stu- dent women ' s groups, Miss Yost is academic advisor to a number of the women and strives to assist all in the coordination of their activities, interests, and studies. Graduating from Vassar College in 1904, Miss Yost came to Stanford in 1 92 I as its third dean of women. She has usually regarded her work as edu- cational and advisory rather than administrative.

School of iicceeded ow.How- p with all t problem TO REGISTRAR JOHN PEARCE MITCHELL goes the some- what arduous task of determining the academic standing of each one of Stanford ' s more than 4,000 students. In addition to this, through his office must go all the Vocational Guidance work, which directs the student towards a future occupation, and the Appointment Service, which finds temporary and perma- nent employment for those enrolled in school. IN ADDITION to his duties as assistant registrar, Karl M. Cow- dery this year took over those of Academic Secretary, following the retirement of John E. McDowell last spring. The problems with which he must cope include the administration of students aid funds, graduate loans, and tuition notes. The problem of graduate housing must also be met, as well as incidental duties. TAKING OVER the position of secretary of the Alumni As- sociation on December I, when the resignation of Har- low P. Rothert became effec- tive, Robert A. Bones Ham- ilton, three times member of the famous Vowing Sophs football team, now has the task of making an organized whole of the vast group of Stanford alumni. 13
