Dean of Women Many a bewildered freshman girl has walked with apprehension into the small red brick building, at the top of the hill, marked Dean of Women. Until she meets the smiling Dean, the co-ed doesn ' t know what a wonderful friend and counselor Miss Adele Stamp can be. Miss Stamp understands the problems of a Mary- land co-ed well, for after graduating from Tulane University she came to Maryland as a graduate student to receive her M. A. degree. To aid the new women students. Dean Stamp directs a very successful Fall Orientation Program. Because she was instrumental in establishing the Maryland chapter of Panhellenic, she is also actively interested in campus sororities. Among the Dean ' s varied interests, scholarship and achievement hold important positions. She founded the local chapter of Mortar Board, and is at present National Treasurer of Alpha Lambda Delta. DEAN ADELE H. STAMP. Dean of Men Dean Geary F. Eppley, one of Maryland ' s most prominent faculty members, is also one of the busiest.
