Before that time, there were Hve deans for an undergraduate body Of 2500 students. This meant that each dean had assigned to him 500 students. He couldnot have more than a superficial acquaintance with most of them. 50. starting with the Fall quarter of 1923, the staff of deans was doubled. giving each clean supervision over only 250 students. This number is still too large. but there has been a noticeable improvement as a result. A careful choice of the men who were to form part of the enlarged staff Was made by the administration, and under the present scheme, each student has the same dean throughout his course. The results of the increased number of deans have been many. Real in- dividual advice, real help, both as to courses of study and human problems is the big beneht. In the year before the increase in the stat? of deans, 108 fresh- men wexe dismissed for poor work. at the end of the Autumn and Winter quarters. But last year. following the adoption of the new plan. there were, at the end of the corresponding quarters, only Hftyvsix such dismissals. Pam? Niucmru
