Student 2 eand Some oi the busiest people on this campus were this year ' s 47 Student i3eans. Dean Eunice Hilton was the director of their two-year course and Miss Maude Stewart acted as her as- sistant in planning the entire program. While earning their masters ' degrees m student personnel work and educa- tion, they acquire practical experience as resident advisors m women ' s living centers. Their duties involve upholding house standards and acting as social hostesses, counselors, and as friends to the girls. The personnel m the Dean ' s office stands ready to offer assistance m all fields. In addition to the tro ' ning for dean and advisory positions in high schools and colleges, the Student Deans carried on an active social program this year. Picnics, a banquet, ping-pong, basket- ball, bridges, Valentine and St. Pat ' s parties occupied their leisure moments which they somehow managed to find. Trustees attending an annual banquet 7 utdteed. The fifty members of the Board of Trustees of Syracuse University meet twice a year to confer on matters of University policy. Chancellor ToUey is a member ex-officio of all committees of the board, and it is through these committees that most of their duties are carried on. The members are chosen from the conferences of the Methodist Church in the state, from the alumni, and others are elected by the Board. There are five honorary members including Governor Dewey, Mayor Costello, Bishop Ledden of the Methodist Church in this area, Eric Will of the Alumni Association, and Francis Spaulding of the State Education Department. At the head of the Board this year is Mr. L. C. Smith. AdtnUUii uztiae O uUcdi, 22

K. J. Kennedy, Registrar Hugh Gregg, Business Manager Being Registrar of a university the size of Syracuse is no holiday task. Since Mr. K. J. Kennedy was an undergraduate, Syracuse has grown to a gigantic size. He and his staff find keeping students ' records, directing university bulletins, planning ahead for registrations and commencements is full-time work. Registration totals 20,000, but pre-registration in more colleges, wider use of machines at registra- tion, and the eventual slump in enrollment to about 12,000 on the main campus will reduce the work of the Office of the Registrar. In hope of seeing $15,000,000 pour into his office to enlarge Syracuse University, Hugh C. Gregg, Business Manager, has a load on his hands. The rebuilding of the men ' s gym, enlargement of the Bookstore, full-scale use of Thompson Road campus and Skytop took money out of the treasury this year. Plans are made for a Field House, a Women ' s Gym, a Student Union, more permanent dormi- tories, a hospital and a theater. Property on upper Saranac lake received this year is to be a center for the summer art program and student-faculty conferences. We are helping to finance a Museum of Art to be located near campus. This was a full year for Mr. Gregg ' s office. Back to the remodeled men ' s gym goes the Varsity Club this year, after its temporary location at 801 University Avenue since the Hill fire of ' 47. For fifteen years Aunt May Crandon, the Club ' s Executive Secretary, has been editing the Varsity Club News, planning the pre-Colgate smokers, and the annual team reunions such as this year ' s with the 1923 football team. The Club was first called into being in 1933 in response for planned alumni get-togethers for coaches and stars of other years with present-day athletes. Members are those men who won their Block S fighting for Old Syra- May Crandon, Secretary of the Varsity Club AdUnUUii ' uUlue Oj oe i. 21

Our Alumni Association is one campus organ- ization whose work is never done. It is the sole contact between the students, trustees, admin- istration, faculty, and alumni. It acts as a clear- ing house for all communications and escorts the alumni and friends around the campus. This year, in addition to these good will tasks, the association is sponsoring a fifteen million dollar drive for funds to enlarge the fa- cilities of the University. This is by far the hard- est piece of work they have been called upon to do. The Alumni House is a bright yellow struc- ture on South Crouse Avenue. At its head is Miss Winifred Hughes, ' 14, Executive Director; Mr. Newell Rossman, ' 39, Field Secretary and Alumni Fund Director; and Mr. Arthur Gabriel, ' 40, Assistant Field Secretary. However, this is not the only home of this organization, since it extends into one hundred and six local asso- ciations throughout the United States. One of its yearly traditions is to award the George Arents medals to the outstanding alumni of Syracuse University. This year we are proud to say that they were won by Col. Le Grande Albert Diller for Excellence as an Army Officer, Mrs. Welthy Honsinger Fisher, for Distinguished Service in Cultural International Rela- tions, and for the second time in history, in absentia, to Drew Middleton, chief of the New York Times news office in Ber- lin. The first award of this kind was made to Dorothy Thomp- son in 1939. The most far-reaching of the association ' s contacts is The Alumni News. This ambitious project is edited by Miss Hughes, and provides all of the members of the Syracuse family with the constant contact with their classmates, strength- ens the ties that bind with Alma Mater.
