ASSOCIATE DEAN JOHN M. MOORE In the field of veterans ' affairs, Mr. Moore has the double task ot acting as a representative ot the college to the Veterans ' Administration, and as faculty advisor to the veterans themselves. Mr. Moore came to Swarthmore from Ham- ilton College four years ago to teach philosophy and religion. After being here for two years, he was offered the job of Associate Dean. As Mr. Carrell says, it is John Moore ' s ability for organ- ization which has caused things to fall naturally into their places with almost a minimum of effort. As an additional responsibility, Mr. Moore is also the Executive Director ot the National Coimcil of Religious Education, which aids young men who wish to do graduate work in religion, and helps them to get jobs after they have been graduated. Next year he will also take on the responsibilities of the Registrar ' s Office. In interviewing, advising, and teaching, Mr. Moore ' s mature judgement and ready sympathy have been appreciated by all students. ASSISTANT DEAN JEPTHA J. CARRELL Jep Carrell came to Swarthmore in the fall of 1946, after his discharge from the Marine Corps. He had previously studied at Swarthmore with the V-12 unit, and had finished his studies at F. and M., and at Penn Graduate School. His work at Swarthmore is purely administrative. Since it is difficult to interview each applicant for Swarthmore due to distances involved, Mr. Carrell has been organizing alumni committees in various parts of the country who will do some of the intei-viewing for the College. An- other purpose of this Alumni Center Organi- zation is to help create more alumni interest in the school. Also, it is hoped that the alumni will seek out more applicants themselves, thus providing a better choice for the College. Jep is extremely well-liked around campus. Summer afternoons will find him out in the Wharton quad warming up his pitching arm with the boys. Young himself, Jep is well able to appreciate and answer the questions of Swarthmore ' s many veterans, as well as to help cure the men ' s everyday headaches. 11

ASSOCIATE DEAN ALICE L. MORAN Aiding Miss Cobbs is our Associate Dean of Women, Miss Alice Moran, a charmins; and effcient person. Her chief responsibility is handling the larger share of work involved in the selection of women students. She shares with Miss Cobbs the interviewing of applicants who come down to Swarthmore. She also travels to New England and the mid-West, interviewing prospective students, which must be done be- tween the end of February and the middle of April, making the spring a rather hectic time. As vocational advisor for women. Miss Moran conducts privavte interviews with seniors on the question of jobs after graduation, and, under her guidance, the vocational committee has sponsored lectures by faculty members of differ- ent departments on job prospects for majors in various fields. Before coming to Swarthmore, Miss Moran was secretary of the tutorial system at Radcliffe and of the Harvard Graduate School office. Although she has been here less than three years, she has made for herself ari enviable place in the heart of the College. ASSISTANT DEAN J. DEMARIS AFFLECK When Demmie Affleck was graduated last year she had a big job ahead of her— that of Assistant Dean of Women at Swarthmore. Demmie had shown herself particularly capable for this type of work during her undergraduate years. She was awarded the Oak Leaf Medal as being the most outstanding for loyalty, scholar ship and service in her class. She was also a member of Mortar Board and president of W. S. G. A. As Assistant Dean, Demmie has control of the conduct books and special permissions, is advisor to the Social Committee,W .S. G. A. and the Student Council, and has charge of the baby- sitting agency. However, her position is pri- marily that of advisor to any or all students who need the help of someone familiar with student problems. In this respect, she is housemother of Parrish and freshman coinisellor. Demmie made a quick transfer from student to faculty, and she is convinced that the factdty position is much the better of the two— as she phrases it, no homework . 10
