Dean Otis The Dean of Men To establish and further a healthy attitude on the part of the men students on the campus, first among themselves and then in their relations with the faculty and the administration. is an objective of Mr. Arthur Hamilton Otis, as Dean of Men. A vital interest in everything that concerns the men and in each man's individual problem is a special attribute which Dean Otis brings to his office. In him we find not merely a stern judge in a penal court, but a friendly counsellor with constructive ideas. He would maintain at their best the institution’s high standards and at once secure for each Wildcat a perfectly square deal. The Dean of Women Miss Evelyn Wellington Jones. Dean of Women, defines her official duties and privileges as l eing: to sponsor the activities of the women students; to co-operate with other I'nivcrsity officers in providing physical. social, and academic environment in which each woman can develop her maximum capacity: and to be generally responsible for their welfare. Officially she does all that, and very effectively. Hut unofficially she does a great deal in addition. Dean Jones creates with each woman stu dent a sincere and pleasurable relationship amounting to something higher than official acquaintance. Slur is a personal adviser of the practical modern variety. For entering freshmen she makes college a pleasant reality; for graduating seniors she has made it a treasured cxi erience. Her many offices of trust are tribute from the I'nivcrsity to Dean Jones' clear judgment, reliability, and popularity. Dean Jones Twenty-one

The Registrar The position of Registrar in the University of Arizona requires great industry and accuracy. The Registrar acts as .secretary to the faculty, is a memljcr of many University committees, and serves on the Advisory Council. Of the many problems continually coming to the attention of Mr. Charles Zatier fresher, each requires careful and just consideration combined with rapid dis|H sal. Given excellent University facilities with which to answer and satisfy the requirements of a large faculty and student body, he must co-ordinate a maze of varying interests and activities in a way which will gain for the most | eople and finest results possible. The remarkable smoothness with which the University of Arizona operates is a i ositive attestation of the value of such officials as Mr. Lesher. Mr. Walker The Comptroller Mr. Francis M. Walker finds that new quarters and new equipment materially facilitate the operation of his Comptroller’s offices and the Put -chasing Department. All University finances rest under Mr. Walker's supervision. His men care for the collection of all proper disbursements of the institution's money. Mr. Walker himself takes care of all buying, and a large office force is busied working to keep perfect numerous and varied accounts. In running a University, the Comptroller's is the business end.

College of Letters, Arts and Sciences Embracing the largest number on the Iwsis of student enrollment of all the Colleges offered in the University of Arizona, the College of Letters. Arts, and Sciences may well acknowledge its success as a popular as well as a fundamentally important department. It not only offers the richest and most varied curriculum in Arizona, but it offers a cultural polish to a foundation of elementary knowledge as well and brings the students in contact with a wide range of elective courses which give a general knowledge of many useful and interesting subjects. The student is allowed in a great degree to ciloose what he feels will be of most benefit to his individual needs, thus permitting him to fit in a large variety of subjects. I lowever. it should not be the impression that this College fails to fit students adequately for profitable activity after school days are over, for this is not true, as the large number of professional men and women, as well as cultural artists has proved, even to those who are inclined to be skeptical. Much of the achievement of this College is due to its Dean. Dr. E. E. Kiesen, who has consistently proved himself an able and enthusiastic leader. Dean Riesni Letters.
