Qj7f'6Cf07 0 eseaffcfz WERRETT WALLACE CHARTERS, Ph. D., Ll... D Dr. Charters, who is nationally known for his articles and books on technical phases of education has been Director of Research at Stephens College since 1920. He is a graduate of Nlclvlaster University, Ontario Normal College, Toronto University, and the University of Chicago Where he has served as Professor of Education. He has been Dean of the School of Education at the University of Missouri and the University of Illinois. In addition to his position at Stephens, 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 to Stephens. While here he not only plans and gives directions for the research program carried on by the faculty in different fields of the curriculum, but he also holds group conferences with the students in order to gain information or solve any problems concerning campus affairs, Dr. Charters is decidedly interested in the development of personality traits, and to this end he judiciously guided all research connected with the establishment of Senior Hall with the result that every Senior calls him her friend.

Youth! The hope of the ages-the envy of the aged. All your prayers are heard in Heaven For you pray not like the others: Not for greater skill in hunting, Not for greater craft in fishing, Not for triumph in the battle, Not renown among the warriors, But for profit of the people, For advantage of the nations. From the Master of Life descending, I, the friend of man, O ETERNAL YOUTH. Come to warn you and instruct you, How by struggle and by labor You shall gain what you have prayed for . As you emerge from the wonderland of childhood, the 'friend of Hiawatha comes thus to guide you into the land of opportunity which is likewise that of responsibility. fn. ff

Dr. Johnson has made several Visits to Stephens this year in the interest of the library project. He is trying to obtain information from the Stephens Women concerning the amount of library material that each individual uses. In order to do this, mimeographed sheets were distributed to the girls, and from these, important conclusions were formed. Dr. Johnson is very interested in the strengthening of the library. He Wishes to make the library a place Where all students will go for study and for recreational reading. The girls this year have co-operated with Dr. Johnson and the library project very Well, consequently next year will probably bring many new improvements in the library material which will be available to all students. 21 '
