1 I '-ig-v-xg The highest interpretation of human experience is that recorded by Art in its various and varied forms of expression. ln its broadest sense it includes all forms of art, both pure and applied, Architecture, Sculpture, Music and its hand-maidens, Poetry and Drama, Literature, Philosophy and Religion. Each represents an attempt of the over-soul to interpret human life in terms of infinite values. No better theme than The Opera could have been chosen for the expression of the highest and best in the Stephens College educational program. fn. If .fm Wolf J X 'X 1931 5TErJHENsorvs-isa 19

He is a graduate of McMaster University, Ontario Normal College, Toronto University and the University of Chicago Where he has served as Pro- fessor of Education. He has been Dean of the School of Education at the University of Missouri and the University of Illinois. - ln addition to his position here, he is connected With the University of Pittsburgh as Dean of the Graduate School and With Ohio State University as Head of the Research Department. These responsibilities do not prevent Dr. Charters from making several visits during the year. While here he not only plans and gives directions for the research program carried on by the faculty in different fields of the cur- riculum, but he also holds group conferences with the students in order to gain information or solve any problem concerning campus affairs. 1 y One of the significant phases of training in which Dr. Charters is decidedly interested is the development of personality traits. To this end he judicially guided all research connected with the establishment of Senior Hall with the result that every Senior calls him her friend. I93I5TEI3I-IENSOPI-IIA 20
