4 Lm. Assistant Dkan Toin.a The work of the office of the Dean of Men is hugely advisory. An attempt is made to get into personal contact with as many men as possible and to help them to meet their individual problems. Social activities of individuals and or- ganizations, attendance, the visiting of those who are sick, and an attempt to further everything that will contribute to the moral and physical welfare of the student community is in general the business of the office of the Dean of Men. Mr. Fred H. Turner has to do with attendance and certain special privileges which the office may give. Mr. Robert G. Tolman gives his whole time to the interests of individual freshmen, and Mr. J. G. Thomas has charge of social ac- tivities and a certain supervision over organizations, so far as the L diversity regulations require such supervision. Dean Clark spends most of his time in seeing individual students who un- solicited come for consultation or advice. The office is open from eight in the morning until six at night, and the number of callers each month will aggregate more than six thousand.

Dean Leonard Assistant Dean Pen All phases of the University woman ' s activities pass over the threshold of the office of the Dean of Women. These are of varied interest, encompassing the whole horizon of the University woman ' s life, her health, her home surroundings, her scholarship, her campus activities, and her social and spiritual life. The ob- ject of university training is to place the student in line with fundamentals which are realized through intellectual and spiritual awakening. The University seeks to do this, first, in giving attention to the living conditions of students to see that they are well housed in comfortable living quarters. This one thing is con- ducive to better health, good scholarship, and friendly relationships. The Administration seeks to help each University woman in her own develop- ment and in her adjustment to group life. Any undergraduate student may have an inter iew at any time in the office of the Dean of Women, wher e her personal problems are given special attention. The Dean of Women also directs student life on the campus which expresses itself in social activities as well as through organizations such as the Woman ' s League, the ' oung Women ' s Christian Association, and the Women ' s Athletic Association. These organizations have proved a manifold help to the Dean of Women in establishing and regulating fine traditions in student life — social, al- truistic, spiritual, and healthful. In a word, the office of the Dean of omen is a service station for the indi- vidual woman student, for the group, and for campus life in general.
