The College of Letters, Arts and Sciences The College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences leads all the other colleges by a wide margin in point of enrollment. Its students arc those who arc seeking a general cultural education rather than one of a technical or professional type. Though many students, liecausc of the great variety of courses offered in the different departments this. College, find jointed out to them the specific firtrf ftr endeavor to which they arc Ivest suited.

Lock-wood, and his wonderful' staff of'Instructors the standards of this college have l ecn raised to a high degree of excellency. Since the facilities have been quite limited and in some eases inadequate, the accomplishment of the college is significant of the ability and industry of the man who is most responsible for its progress—Dean Lockwood Dr Lockwood was first connected with the University as head of the English department in 1916. lie was then absent from duty here while serving on tin Army Educational Commission during the war. In 1919 lie returned and organized the extension service. Then, in the following year, he accepted the duties of the dean of the college. He also served for a while as President of the University during the absence of the regular officer. Dr. Lockwood has liecouie known during his years here as a |x pular professor, successful administrator. and a well known author. But now he will no longer act as the dean because of his inclination to devote more time to productive scholarship. Second row—Dean. Hawley. Sliaw. Carpenter, (iraesser. I conard, CreS'C, Leonard.

• . DI'.W OTIS Oft in the still, f;«r reaches of the night comes ■ tijlj dark or a whooj ce from our sandy environs. Then, leaping from his dowtiv y1 couch, girding on his .diming armor, comes the Knight F.rrant of the ri ona Caiupiif-d£ ean Athnr D. Otis. Non wouldn't that l)c picturesquely romantic? Hut is it true? What sort of welcome awaits behind the door marked “DKAX OF MEX One of two things may answer these questions: a phone call in the pleasant but “carrying-ao-undercurrent-of-steel voice of Mr Denny, or a neatly typed note From the same jierson requesting, one’s imiaediatc presence One’s presence becomes actuated. Turn the page or shift the scene and we are , in tiie outer sanctum awaiting admittance to the inner realm Soon, with downcast eyes, we enter—then the voice of omin| otence pierces out-conscience—“SMOK K ?” A Dean among Deans and a real man has made another friend The Dean of Women It is obvious that we have all met Dean Jones at one time or another. She is very active around the campus. cs| ecially with her duties in the activities of the women students and aisc in all social endeavors. Miss Evelyn Wellington Jones, our new Dean of Women, is one 01 the most capable leaders of the weaker sex that this school has seen in all its. trials and tribulations. The work of Dean Jones has been es|x.-cially satisfactory to the Students. The'first declaration she made was welcomed with hearty an-plause -4ht creation of twelve-thirty nights for all University functions. Under her supervision. the activities in which women students were involved were well carried through and resulhd-. in the keeping high of the ideals for which all Deans of W omen arc supjxisedly emblematic. This hearty co-ojieration is welcomed as a great help for us all May its spirit spread throughout the student groups. DEAN’ JOKES I'-iCO S7

There were contests in Animal Husbandry. Dairy Husbandry, Poultry. Horticulture, and gronomy. The College of Agriculture aspires to lx- more than an institution for training hay pitchers and stable hands. University teachers, governmental research workers, and agricultural administrators are the products of Dean Dali's stalY. Regular classroom work is not the only function of this college.

The Agricultural Extension department is the most important agency in putting the university l efore the state.
