TEXAS WOMAN,S UNIVERSITY Dmrron, Tnus Orrxcz or 'nm Pnssmxwr January To the Class of l96l: The destiny of an institution of higher learning depends to a very considerable extent upon the durability of the ardor with which st dents and alu nae view its mission. I am happy in the belief that the Class of 1961 at the Texas Woman's University possesses the basic ingredients of lasting enthusiasm for alma mater: namely, inner feelings of warm affection, whole- some loyalty, and unqualified respect. But, however permanent and genuine, the esteem of students, present and past, is not enough! In order to continue an accept- able rate of progress our woman's university must in future years receive from its alumnae an increasing measure of active support. Like other leading institutions, TWU must look to those who know it best and owe it most for extra help in meeting new challenges. I have high hopes that all members of the Class of 1961 will join with leaders of earlier graduating classes to work actively to help TWU grow in usefulness, stature, and renown. y'ncerely ours, A. Guinn esident JAG:avs

FRANCIS W. EMERSON Dean of Admissions One of the most enlightening and entertaining personali- ties on campus is Francis W. Emerson, Dean of Admissions and Registrar. He always wears a smile and is ready to help any student with her problem or escort a prospective stu- dent around the campus and orientate her to the TWU way of life. Dean Emerson receives many personal letters inquir- ing about TWU and always answers them promptly. Mr. Emerson came to the University in 1929 as associate pro- fessor in the Department of Speech and served in that capacity until the fall of 1934 when he was made acting registrar. DR. LURLINE MAHAN LEE Dean of Women A new face at TWU this year is Dr. Lurline Lee, Dean of Women. She came to the campus from the University of Washington, where she had been dean of women for four years. Before that position, Dean Lee had been at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Mich., in the same field of work for seven years. Dean Lee returned to her native state when she accepted the position with TWU. Her per- manent address has been Texarkana, and her daughter, Mrs. Herman Shute, lives in New Boston. To be a friend of the girls is Dean Lee's working philosophy. DR. JAMES W. NEWCOMER Dean of the Faculty Dean of Graduate Studies Also a newcomer to the TWU campus, Dr. james W. Newcomer, a native Ohioan, is serving as dean of the faculty and of graduate studies. Dr. Newcomer, who assumed his new duties Sept. 1 of this year, came to TWU from Olivet College in Michigan, where he was academic dean and pro- fessor of English. He received his M.A. from the University of Michigan and his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. The new administrator has contributed many articles, stories, and poems to professional publications and has served as critic for the College English Association and the Association of Amer- ican Colleges Bulletin. In February, Dr. Newcomer was co- author of Liberal Education and Pharmacy, which dealt with the amount and kind of liberal education pharmacy stu- dents receive in undergraduate professional schools.
