Bankhead, watch the Crimson Tide begin a touchdown march. Speaker Bank- head earned his ' A ' on the gridiron and the diamond at ' Bama. Beloved ' Mike ' Denny, respected, trusted, and admired, is easy to find after four any afternoon while pigskins are in the air. With his pipe going full blast, the Chancellor watches from the backfield while the Tide scrimmages.

PRESIDENT A MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS: I take the liberty of giving a personal note to a part of this message. The year, my first as President of the University, has been a signally happy one for me, made so by the good will and the fine spirit of cooperation shown by the students of our University, the members of the faculty, and its administrative staff. To all of them I shall be forever grateful. The growth of the University has been more than material in the year that is closing. Interest in scholar- ship and achievement has widened and deepened; the spirit of learning and the spirit of the University which abound are significant. Our student body is the largest in our history, with nearly every state in the land repre- sented. The physical plant has been enlarged. Courses of study have been strengthened, and the new and impor- tant ones added. Standards have been raised. The faculty has been increased. The developments in spirit, in scholarship and in the material give great promise. We look to the future with hope and faith. To the graduating classes we bid God speed. Our interest and affection go with them. While we part with these students reluctantly, we send them forth with a sense of pride in them as representatives of our contribu- tion to the world of today, confident that they will furnish strength and leadership in their day and age. We rejoice in those thousands of fine young men and young women who will return to our campus for the coming year. Let us join in the worthy task of making that year one of the finest and most fruitful in the life of our beloved Alma Mater. r, r- r, • KiCHARD Clarke toster, l- ' resiaent. Page TnoUy-eighl

AGNES ELLEN HARRIS DEAN OF WOMEN DEANS To the Students: College days are always among the happiest and most enjoyable of a person ' s life. At the University of Alabama young men and young women may find unequalled opportunities for fine training and rich personal experiences. There is pleasant association with able and in- spiring teachers. Congenial and lasting friend- ships are formed within its student body of five thousand youths of similar ages, ideals, and ambitions. Numerous athletic and other extracurricular activities enable one to enjoy a more complete university experience as a part of the more wholesome life. All of us will find pleasure m recalling the incidents and happenings of the past year as recorded in this, the forty-sixth edition of the Corolla. For the past year and a half I have had the responsibility of the office of the Dean of Men. Close association with the students through individual and group contacts has been a heart- ening experience for me. In my relationships with the students, I have found them to be fair and reasonable; my faith in their spirit has been strengthened. For their confidence, their cooperation, and their friendship, I am deeply grateful. Sincerely yours, J. H. Newman, Dean of Men. A Message to the Students: The work of the Dean of Women at the University consists in rendering any needed service to the individual woman student, in ad- vising and cooperating with leaders of women student organizations, and in coordinating all activities of the woman ' s campus. The year 1937-38 has been one of great achievement in the history of the women at the University. The enrollment of women has made a marked increase over any pervious year. A new level has been attained in the scholastic standing of women. Because Uni- versity women are alert and thoughtful and have an ever-widening vision of their respon- sibilities in life, new courses have been added to meet their growing demands, and it has been necessary to add to the physical plant a new and beautifully equipped West Annex, Graduate Hall, Nursery School, and a Home Management House. From the woman ' s campus we .send greet- ings to the students of the University and to their friends who read this yearbook. Sincerely yours, Agnes Ellen Harris, Dedti of Women. Page Thirty
