BEAUCHAMP, LEWIS, LINDSEY, SMITH, HOLT, PEPPERDINE Administrative Faculty The mere mention of the research department or of Mr. Shofstall brings to the memory of every Susie strange forebodings and vivid recollections of filling out information blanks, of taking this kind of test or that, and of doing a million other things all for the sake of experiment. ln spite of the fact that being the object of experimentation at times loses its once novel fascination, many of the results that have been obtained rather justify the means to the end which is to undertake the problem of organizing the educational curric- ulum for women so that the subject matter taught at Stephens should, as fully as possible, be useful to its students in meeting the problems and in carrying on the activities with which women are concerned in the home, among friends, in the community and in business. Dr. W. W. Charters is director of th: research while W. P. Shofstall, A. M., University of Missouri, actively carries out the investigation and tabulates the results. Miss Lewine Hoefer, Ph. B., a former Stephens graduate, received her Bachelor of Philosophy degree from the University of Chicago. In addition to her duties as Dean of Permissions and Head of East Hall, Miss Hoefer is chairman of the Board of Deans and an assistant in Social Science. During those rare moments when no one is in quest of a permission, she enjoys playing Russian Bank as relief from day's Work. Mrs. Marie Jay Cady, also a former Stephenite, is in charge of the publicity of the schoolg it is she who is responsible for the articles and pictures of Stephens girls that so often don the Sunday papers about the country. In her spare moments, Mrs. Cady enjoys reading. Travel books, in particular, fascinate her. . I 1 is-J315TErJi-lemsorvi-:IA I 23 . I

,viva MEADE NIFONG CADY HOEEER SI-IOFSTALL WALTER Administrative Faculty As President of Stephens College since 1912 James Madison Wood has built an institution that receives recognition from men and women out- standing in the field of education all over this country for his achievements in the upbuilding of a four year junior college and its numerous experiments perfecting the various courses of study.

B., secretary of the college, in his spare moments when he is not interesting new girls the country over in coming to Stephens takes an interest in farming, and at present finds school gardening his special hobby. Dr. Prank G. Nifong, M. D., Director of health and physical education, is a graduate of the University of Missouri. When he is not supervising the clinic and has found a spare moment or two between appendicitis operations, he finds in gardening or in tinkering with mechanics interesting pastime. Raymond D. Meade, B. S., as registrar finds himself, to his 'surprise perhaps, serving also as an oHicial information bureau . Not only is Mr. Meade's office in a rather handy location, but he always manages to have the desired information, no matter ,whether Susie is wondering if she has to take this or' that course for admission tothe State University, or whether she is trying to find out when the earliest train leaves for home at Christmas, for, not having any classes Thursday morning she must leave a day early. Mr. Meade says his family is his hobby. l93l5TEl'3HENS0Pl-IIA 22
