THE PRESIDEIVT JOHN W. NASON A college president is all things to all men. To the Board of Managers he represents the administration, faculty, and student body; to the stu- dent body he represents the Board of Managers. To all of us he repre- sents the idea of Swarthmore education, education as development of the mind and of the individual, rather than the accumulation of knowl- edge and the learning of a profession. Calm, dignified, efficient, John Nason has known many colleges and universities from the inside: Carleton, Muhlenberg, Harvard, Pennsvl- vania and Oxford; and his degrees include both Doctor of Laws and Doctor of Literature, but we prefer to remember him in shirtsleeves pitching the faculty to victory over the girls ' softball team. Sincere and approachable, he is an integral part of all that goes on at Swarthmore.

DEAN HUNT Dean Hunt is Swarthmore, his duties, very extensive and rather un- definable. Having been relieved by Associate Dean Moore and Assistant Dean Carrell of some of the admissions work, he now centers his atten- tion on the problems of the men students in college and on the general fimctions of the whole institiuion. This affable, sandy-haired Westerner with his dry humoi and engag- ingly crooked smile is one of the most popular men on campus. Famous for his passion for Milton and Bach— an amateur movie enthusiast for his movies of Western scenes. The surest way to his heart, he says, is through Jackson Hole. THE DEANS DEAN COBBS Relying on her easy southern charm and poise, Miss Cobbs has slipped easily into her second year of Deanship in one of Swanhmorcs most dif- ficult jobs. Friend and ad iser to the upperclass women, and oiganizer of a series of teas designed to bring closer together student and professor, she also represents .Swarthmore to new and prospecti e freshmen while perform- ing her remarkable balancing of both names and strawberrv ice cream. In addition to the full routine of the all-important inteniewing of, and passing judgment on the hopeful, directing the feminine half of the school ' s administration, and teaching Latin and Greek to those vith a classical bent, she claims that she e en finds time to relax with an occa- sional game of bridge or a crossword puzzle from the Times.
