He is a strict but understanding disciplinarian and has at- tempted through his work to encourage and to order the thousand or so male students of the Uni- versity of Arkansas in such a way as to make better men and a greater school. 20

AND T0 HER TURN THE WOMEN The social functions of the campus are num- 7- erous and of several varieties, but behind all of g them stands the approval of the office of the Dean i of Wfomen. Any social function which lacks the stamp of approval can only be a failure, because without that approval the women students of the University may not attend. By virtue of her office, Dean Reid carries the big stick in undergradu- ate social affairs. 'X The Dean of Women has a three-fold duty X in the performance of the duties of her officeg DEAN REID the social, academic, and administrative phases encompass the whole existence of the woman stud:nt, and in each of these phases of University life, she is under the guidance and control of Dean Reid. The Dean of Women does not seek to place burdensome restrictions, which will not be obeyed, on the University women, but by appealing to the intelligence and common sense, advice is given to those who need to make adjustments in their academic careers. By acting largely in an advisory capacity, Dean Reid has been able to make the office more popular than such offices are in schools where the individual is considered less as an individual than as merely another student. In an academic way, not only is Dean Reid an associate professor of Latin, but also she is an advocate of the classic education based on mathematics, Latin, and English. She advocates an education including these subjects, not because the cultural educatio-n benefits the intelligent woman more than most vocational training is likely to do, and with the cultural background, much U of the unrest of the present day is apt to be less alarming and revolutionary than it otherwise would be. From the light of the past we can look into the future and understand the significance of the new ideas as they are presented to us. 21
