The Qraduate School 'l'his newly organized school has experienced remarkable growth under the guiding hand of Dean A. B. Moore. In 1925 a comparatively small number of students were enrolled, but by ably feeling a long-felt need it numbers its students by the hundreds. The chief aim of the Graduate School is the promotion of a spirit of research and the development of a power to do independent work. lt develops the habit of intensive study, re- sourcefulness and more mature judgment. lt gives a more liberal culture than is acquired in undergraduate work. Drafts: A. H. Mooiuc M.s., Max., I-n.n. Tenn of t-Wien Dabney S. Lancaster, as Dean of Men, occupies a position that is as impossible to define as it would be to describe the legal, social and parental duties of a father, or the duties of an older brother or of an intimate friend. VVhere fathers some- times fail the Dean of Men must succeed, where older brothers are neglectful the Dean of Men must be thoughtful and con- siderate. Every hour of the day and every day of the week then Dean of Men must give sympathetic attention to the problems that arise in the lives of college students and must attempt to arrive at the proper solution. I-Ie must look after the interests of all students while seeing to it that the regulations of the institution are upheld. I The Dean of Men is chairman of the Committee on Social Activities and Student Organizations, and is a member of the University Council and of the Committee on Student Publications. lhlsslax' S. l.ANCAS'l'IiR Dean of M rn Executive Secretary Mr. Ralph li. Adams, as executive secretary of the university, has charge of the admission of all new students. He acts as assistant to the president, and in that capacity a mass of admin- istrative duties devolves upon him. I-Ie authorizes all of the purchases of the various departments of the university, and in addition to these duties he serves on a number of committees, such as the Athletic Committee, the Social Committee, etc. The executive secretary occupies one of the most important posts in the entire organization of the university. He is truly the con- necting link between the administration and the student body. RALPH Ii. Aoams li.w'1'11l1fvf' S1'f'r'r'lm'y ..,.- t,'. l ' ,1 .' , 7' 'it U l , -'f ,'a1J J'!

Summer School The Summer School is more and more becoming an integral part of the university, and in addition to its other functions serves to make the university a twelve-month institution of higher learning. Many regular session students continue their work in Summer School as well as those students who are able to attend only in the summer. The Summer School is divided into two terms, a first term of six weeks and a second term of five weeks. Students may attend either term or both terms, completing in one term six semester hours and in both terms twelve semester hours of work. Dk. jouN R. Mclluua M.A., ru.o. The 4Dean of Women The dean of women's oflice is more than one of numerous departments of the university. lt is the seat of government of the women students, not in that which discipline is concerned, but in so much that all activities of women students revolve around or pass over the desk of the dean of women. Every woman student has at least one conference with the dean of women during the semester. These conferences are sought for advice in making decisions regarding courses of study, living expenditure, sorority problems, chaperone's appli- SIIALIER C.

It is a responsibility of no small proportion to receive, disburse and properly account for all the monies necessary to the maintenance of a great university. The treasurer also lets the contracts for all new buildings and has the duty of supervising their construction. One of the reasons for the remarkable growth of the university f is the thoroughly elhcient and capable way in which its finances 5 have been administered. ' l il fl x ll ll il ll XT, ..
