ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT Coming to Union in the fall of 1955 fresh from graduate study in Germany, Austria, and Switzer- land, Mr. Mahlon H. Miller, as Assistant to the President, has won the respect and friendship of both students and faculty. His is a difficult task and he has met its challenges with forthrightness and has made substantial improvements in relations between faculty and student body. He holds classes in the Division of Religion and Philosophy, and is in charge of student religious life as well as the workship program. THE DEANS Largely through the organizational efforts of Dean John H. Boyd, this year Union has secured state accreditation of its teacher training program. Per- sonally popular as well as professionally able, Dean Boyd has, in his two years here, contributed sub- stantially to the progress of Union College. Miss Florence Dewey doubles in brass as Dean of Women and Assistant Professor of Music. Out of her classes in instrumental music has grown the Union College Orchestra, an organization which is growing more and more to be a cultural and artistic force on the campus. 20

Since 1938, Dr. Conway Boatman has been the forceful and energetic leader of Union College. This fall he cut short a tour of Europe and the Holy Land in order to return for the opening of the college in September. Since that time, Union has seen many improvements in its academic standing and its physical plant, all due in a greater or less degree to the efforts of Dr. Boatman as ad- ministrative head of the college. His un- tiring efforts and unswerving determi- nation have guided Union College to- ward providing its students with true Christian enlightenment.
