Adwnini James A. Perkins JAMES A. PERKINS, Vice-President. General alterego to Mr. Nason, Mr. Perkins heads the college campaign drive and generally keeps alumni in touch with the college. A graduate of the class of ' 34, Mr. Perkins majored in poli sci and roomed across the hall from the new philosophy professor, John Nason. Just a shift, he smiles, from Wharton A. to Parrish B. JOHN M. MOORE, Registrar and Associate Dean; Keen, precise, thorough, John Moore joined the Dean ' s Office in the chaotic college-admissions days of 1946. Although his workday is split into three halves, part-time teaching. Registrar duties, and veteran ' s affairs, he succeeds some- how in maintaining an air of unhurried calm. To each of his several jobs he brings the intellectual equipment of a scholar and a sincere concern for personal problems. JEPTHA J. CARRELL, Assistant Dean of Men; first came to Swarthmore as an Open Scholar. After a stint in the Marine Corps, and more undergraduate work at Franklin and Marshall College, he returned to Swarthmore in 1946 to assume the duties of Assistant Dean. In addition to a plethora of duties, he has found time to coach Freshman soccer and baseball, and to get an M.A. from Penn. John M. Moore Jeptha J. Carrell i

DeiBn Hunt For more than a. decade Everett L. Hunt has held the position of Dean of Men. During that time he has carried a great burden of duties covering such college problems as admissions, advising students, fulfilling the function of liaison between the student body on the one hand and the administration and Board of Managers on the other, and directing col- lege disciplinary actions. The spirit of conciliation imputed to these activities by Dean Hunt con- tributes immeasurably to the smooth functioning of the administration by making an atmosphere of informal cooperation prevail in all work involving both the administration and the various bodies of student government. There are other sides to Mr. Hunt which are not so well known. One Is the academician, the teacher of Milton and literary criticism. The other is the lover of Wyoming to whom few experiences are comparable to that of a pack, trip in the Grand Tetons. The combination of all these attributes has given him his important role at Swarthmore. Mieawu Cabbs The graduation of this year ' s senior class marks a special anniversary for Miss Cobbs. Both the Class of 1949 and the Dean of Women were freshmen at Swarthmore four years ago. In that time Miss Cobbs has worked hard for her newest degree, and is now a much admired member of the college administration. As Dean of Women her duties are widely diver- sified. Her most Immediate concern is with the women students to whom she is a willing and cap- able adviser. She interviews prospective students, serves on a number of college committees, and finds time to be hostess at Benjamin West House teas for freshman girls. Far from being the literary Southern type, al- .though possessed of its virtues — charm, sympathy, and a soft voice — Miss Cobbs in the active pro- tagonist of a living and progressive philosophy .of education. Her firm conviction that a major part of education goes on outside the class room makes Miss Cobbs an invaluable asset to the college.

DEMARIS AFFLECK CARRELL, Assistant Dean of Wonnen knows Swarthmore college life from both sides. Not long ago a member of the student body, she is now Assistant Dean of Women. In this position she advises the student government organizations and acts as advisor to freshman women. Demmie recently married Jep Car- rell thus making deanship a family tradition. CHARLES G. THATCHER, Comptroller. The training Mr. Thatcher received here as engineer (class of 1912) comes in handy where money matters are concerned. Budget, Salaries, departmental expenditures, maintenance and operation are all part of his job. In addition, such considerations as faculty housing and the financing of student activities require all the tact and quiet thorough- ness for which Mr. Thatcher is well known. ?
