es s, ; wci tSS £ DEOn HURT One of the busiest men on campus, but time to listen to tbe problems of the Student body — Dean Hunt may be seen hurrying from classes to appointments, to meetings. The war has greatly increased his duties. Not only is he the in- termediary between the Navy and the College, but he is the controller of deciding who shall enter Swarthmore. Also, he has the task of helping these boys when they are called for the armed forces. Due to the shortage of help he has been given duties which never before have fallen to the Dean of Men. Not only pinch-hitting for others, but locking up as well! Despite this, he finds time to participate in college social functions. A scholar, a regular guy, a friendly cheerful presence, he is liked by all. With all he shares his hobbies— a good tenor voice, a great love of music, a passion for the West. DEfln BLRnSHflRD . . . As a Teacher, we think of Mrs. B. ' s keen interest in philosophy, literature, and education; her ability to make these subjects live for her students. . . . . . . As a Dean, we remember Mrs. B. s sympathetic attention to our problems and her valuable suggestions about our grades, our courses, and our social life. . . . . . . As an Advisor, we recall Mrs. B. ' s tactful way of handling delicate situations in women s government, her liberal point of view, and her efficiency in effecting new policies. . . . . . . As a Hostess, we remember those freshmen get- acquainted parties of Mrs. B. s ; her ability to put us at our ease, and those delicious cakes she baked. . . . . . . But these varied roles hardly cover the intangible qualities which have endeared Dean Blanshard to S%varth- more. Perhaps her cheery good mornings, her extraordinary gift of remembering names, or the graciousness and charm ■s ' hich characterize her numerous appointments and meetings contribute to making Mrs. B. a unique figure in the Swarthmore community.
