In his twin capacity of registrar and assistant professor of English, Dr. Dan Vogel wields a double-edged pen mightier than any sword. He joined the faculty of Yeshiva College in 1949. after a year at Rutgers University, as an instructor in English. He transferred to Stern College in 1954, the institution ' s initial year, and became registrar in 1955. In June, 1956, Dr. Vogel was elevated to an assistant professorship. A native of Brooklyn, he was graduated from New Utrecht High School in 1944. and received a B.A. degree in English from Brooklyn College four years later. With the aid of a graduate teaching fellowship he took his M.A. Degree in American Litera- ture at Rutgers University in 1949. and in 1956 he was granted the doctorate in that field by New York University. Although Dr. Vogel is a married man with a family of three children, he has found time to hold various offices in the Young Israel Organization, on both the local and the national levels. He is also the author of articles on higher Jewish education which ap- peared in The Jewish Parent, as well as of an article on Melville which is scheduled for publication this year in Nineteenth Century Fiction. i?egistretr DR DAN VOGEL g-Lii 3.etnce co-u-xiselor MRS. ELIZABETH ISAACS If a life of constant and varied activity constitutes a good preparation for a Di- rector of Student Activities, then it would be difficult to find a more suitable person for the position than Mrs. Elizabeth Isaacs, who has held that post at Stern College since the spring of 1955. Bom and reared in New York City. Mrs. Isaacs was graduated from Barnard College where she specialized in French, a subject which she subsequently taught in the public high schools from time to time.

She was national president of the organ- ization and served as a member of the speakers ' bureau. At present she is honorary president of the organization. Mrs. Isaacs is one of the few women members of the board of directors of the Union and is a member of its Kashruth Commission.
