DR. Cl-HXRTERS Stephens educational practice owes much to Dr. W. W. Charters, who made 'the original survey of the problems of modern women and, to keep the information up to date, checks and re-checks the results with the Research Department. Leader- ship, responsibility and personality development for the individual girl are the problems in which he is interested. Dr. Charters, who is well known as an organizer of educational curricula, resigned from Ohio State University this winter to devote all of his time to his duties as Director of Research at Stephens. Dlx. W. W. Crnxnrmxs The three men on 'these pages are perhaps not so often seen by students as other members of the faculty, but they are just as much a part of the friendly atmosphere of Stephens. Dr. Charters' keen insight into campus 'problems makes his conferences with student officers, held early in the fall to plan the year's work, especially helpful. Besides being one of the best of advisers and managing to know all about every student, Dean Shofstall is renowned as a before-and-after dinner speaker. Dean J'ohnson's special interest is in providing students with library facilities, and he is often seen making a quiet tour of inspection through the General Library. Page I5

DEAN SHCDFSTALI. I deal with the unimportant problems of the student, for I feel that the important crises which arise will 'take care of themselves, asserts our very practical Dean Shofstall, in explanation of his work. These unimportant problems include not only the advisory system, educational guidance, a11d constant experiments with new ideas, but also the assist- ing of the individual girls in the attainment of harmonious adjustments and cnviromnents. Through friendly discussions, he helps to solve many difficulties, some of them no doubt insignificant, but exceed- ingly important to the girl who needs help. Because he is so unassuming and understanding, his waiting room is constantly crowded with girls in need of counsel. DEAN JCI-INSCDN Serving in the capacity of both Librarian and Dean of Instruction, is friendly Dean Johnson. Because he believes that nothing contributes more to scholarship than the realiza- tion of what a good book has to offer, he is primarily inter- ested in making the library a place for enjoyment as well as study. He feels that scholarship and love of books are closely bound together. Dean Johnson has inspired students to read and become acquainted with books by making 'them easily available. As Dean of Instruction, his influence reaches into every classroom and contributes greatly to tl1e continued improvement of instructions on campus. Page 14
