THOMAS M. PUTNAM Dean of Men B. S. University of California M. S. University of Chicago Ph. D. University of Chicago AISING students as to their personal rather than academic difficulties, acting as the agent of the administration in preserving continuity of policy, the office of the Dean of Men on the one hand is charged with the administration of loan funds, and is represented on the committees having to do with student welfare. On the other hand it represents the president on the Student Execu- tive Committee and in athletic matters; receives and makes effective the findings of the Under- graduate Student Affairs Committee. The conception of this office is that of an agency for individual and group welfare and counsel among the men students of the Uni- versity, and at the same time the interpreter of the student body and its problems to the administration. In this spirit the doors of this office open inward for those who care to come. LUCY W. STEBBINS Dean of Women B. A. University of California, 1904 THE offices of the Dean of Women there are six persons. Two are in the outer office to give information. The four occupants of the other offices cannot be seen from the corridor, but their welcome to all who come is none the less warm. One member of the staff is in touch with stu- dents ' living conditions and with loan funds for students. Another has a special interest in stu- dent self-support and in vocational problems. A third cooperates with the Infirmary and the Department of Physical Education for Women to help in making adjustments in cases of limited strength. A fourth is occupied with the plans of student leaders and with difficulties in scholar- ship. But the interest of each of them is to be to as many students as possible a means toward the fulfillment of a happy and profitable uni- versity life. IjUd i- [18]

THE TASK of the Vice-President and Comp- troller of a university is not so much to educate as to keep the machinery of edu- cation in perfect order. He might be com- pared to the chief engineer of a great ship, an officer who seldom appears on deck, but who is responsible for seeing that the ship gets where the captain says it should go. He knows how much coal is consumed in keeping the ship in motion, and the cost of that coal to the owners. He knows that the passengers should make the most of their voyage by concentrating their attention on the realms of education through which the ship carries them ; for their passage is paid with that end in view. He knows too that unless each passenger steps from the ship at the close of its four-year cruise with a maximum of mental development and a taste for finer living, some of that coal has been wasted. HOBERT G. SPHOUL Vice-President and Comptroller B. S. (G. E.) University of California, 191S LL. D. University of California, 1936 THE office of the Dean of the Undergraduate Division is concerned in a general way with the problems of adjustment to university life that face undergraduate students. In close association and collaboration with the offices of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women, it seeks to give to men and women undergraduates sound advice and wise guidance. It is charged with the administration of the minimum scholarship requirements, has admin- istrative responsibilities in connection with the making of loans to qualified students whose fi- nancial resources are slender, and administrative functions in connection with the award of the undergraduate scholarship. In this capacity and in one of friendly interest in any situation in which the student of the Lower Division finds himself in difficulty, this office extends a hearty welcome. FRANK M.

THE good bark BLUE AND GOLD sails out upon the deep, bearing with pride the colors of our University. We wish it calm seas and a fair voyage. It carries within its hold the cargo of happenings in our miniature world and transports them to the realm of memory, which each of us will visit again and again in the years to come. They are touched by the wand of ever- lasting youth, so that they will for all time bear the fresh stamp of the age when they were vital and alive. Turn the pages of this book and presto! grave judges and learned professors, powerful executives and builders of great en- gineering works will become dirty-corded, irre- sponsible undergraduates, and friends who have drifted apart through the years will resume the intimacy of their youth. May this volume catch the spirit of the fleeting years and keep it in per- petuity for you and yours! MONROE E. DEUTSCH Dean of the College of Letters and Science . B. University of California, 1902 M. A. University of California, 1903 Ph. D. University of California, 1911 HE College of Commerce was established in 1898 through the generosity of Miss Cora Jane Flood. It is the second oldest college of commerce in the United States. Last fall the graduate year leading to a degree of M.S. in business administration was added. The purpose of the College of Commerce is to prepare men and women for the responsibilities of business. Business is now recognized as a pro- fession and the universities are accepting their responsibility to prepare students for it with the same degree of seriousness that they have in the past prepared them for other professions. The College of Commerce in its undergraduate and graduate curricula aims to give mental train- ing and discipline in the various subjects which are of basic importance in the field of business administration.
