Out of this worldfe the dedication . . . Dedicate . . . to inscribe by way of honor or compliment. Yes, that is the dictionary definition of Dedicate, i but our dedication of this Houstonian to ilCliieF, Mitchell covers much more than just that. It is a warmer, more personal thing than a dictionary meaning can possibly express. And it comes from the bottom of our hearts. To us, the itChiefil is a good friend-someone we can turn to and know that whatever decision or help he may give us will be fair and square. To us he really is 0Chiefilein name and deed! If anyone at the University knows the inside story of the schools growing up, its iiChiefy When he came here in 1933, the University was still a Junior College located at San Jacinto High School. He has watched it grow from a faculty of 14- to one of more than 600 and a student body of less than 500 to one of 14,000. And all through the years, anything the student has been interested in, iiChieP, has been interested in, too. This warm philosophy is emphatically illustrated by the many groups and organizations the itChieP, deals with directly. He helped organize the University,s first Fine Arts Department, and up until 1950, he taught drama. At that time he became Assistant Dean of Men and began teachin English courses. ' F rontier Fiesta was started and then given a re- birth after World War II by this able organizer. He actively supports Varsity Varieties, Student Publications, the Pep Club, and he is the sponsor of the Inter-Fraternal Council. Mr. Mitchell also belongs to all regional and national Associations of Deans of Men, and to all Southern Associations. . Busy? Extremely, but hes never too busy to help his students in any way possible. And so with hats off and beans humble with gratitude, we of the Houstonian staff dedicate our 1956 Houstonian to you, iiChief Mitchell. L. S. ttCHIEFl, MITCHELL
