Dean Dean Daniel L. Metts is one of the first people each girl at Sullins meets. Whether we approach him at the beginning of the year to outline our courses or return later for further help, he meets us with our own in- terests at heart. Dean Metts attended Emory University, where he received his M. A. and B. Ph. degrees. He has also done graduate work at the University of North Carolina. He is a native of Georgia. He not only serves as Dean of the faculty but also teaches freshman English. His classes are very in- teresting because of his keen sense of humor. Dean Metts has a sincere interest in all of us and in our futures, and his firm, reliable judgment guides us through the year ' s work. His genuine interest in his work gives all of us an ambition to try and meet his standards. Page 19

Vice-President Our vice-president, Mr. William T. Martin, son of Dr. and Mrs. Martin, came to Sullins last year after working on the reorganization of the Associated Gas and Electric System in New York City. Mr. Martin at- tended Washington and Lee University, where he received his A. B. degree, and Harvard University, where he received his LL. B. degree. In these two years, he has taken an active interest in the good of the college and of the girls. We feel free to go to him at any time, for we are sure that he will give us sound advice because of his enthusiastic interest in our problems. Mr. Martin ' s keen sense of humor and his pleasant smile have made him a friend to every girl at Sullins. He can be counted on to act wisely and sympathetically in every situation. Pag© 18
