Mr Ciawfoid, Mr. Piskor, Dean Knapp Mr Iones. 5 O problem is too trivial for the staff of the Office of the Dean of Women - finance, activities, friendships, roommates, work, study, vocations, social life, personal ques- tions - all can be brought here. At this office a five point service program is offered to the coeds. First, there is the aid given concerning personal problems. Sec- ond, assistance is offered in the girls' plans for housing. One of their most important functions is providing adequate social activi- ties and a social educational program for every student. An opportunity for vocational advice is given to every girl. With these services the staff is helping the coeds enjoy their college life to the fullest extent and is sincerely anxious to promote the welfare and happiness of all Syracuse Coeds. EN with educational, financial, voca- tional, or military problems troop to the Dean of Menis office for advice. This year the main problem was - when are the reserves be- ing called ? Mainly through the efforts of Dean A. Blair Knapp it was made possible for hundreds of men to obtain credit for a college year. Professor Lewis W. Crawford is the fra- ternity advisor active in the Interfraternity Council. Frank Piskor has charge of men's housing. It was he who made arrangements to move men from fraternities and living centers and find housing for them elsewhere. Through his sympathetic understanding of college men and their problems, William Jones, vocational advisor, has Won the re- spect and admiration of all.

There is something timeless about a univers- ity. No matter how many new buildings are added, the old buildings seem to continue un- changed. No matter what improvements are made, one still recognizes the Alma Mater of earlier days. The Marshall Building, the im- pressive new medical center, the graceful building of the Maxwell School, the stately and impressive Hendricks Chapel- all these are new. But the Hall of Languages is still as I remember it and the Dekes still play the chimes at Crouse College at the same hours. Nor does the spirit change. There is the same friendliness that meant so much to me as a student, the same democratic spirit free from religious and racial hatreds, the same respect for the poor boy who earns his way, as I did. But while many things have remained the same I have been constantly aware of growth and advancement. Syracuse is a great uni- versity nowg one of the twenty-one largest in the nation. It has many distinguished col- leges, known for their excellence from coast
