Mean Anne D. Bln dean of women Friend, counselor, helper: it is in these roles that Anne Dudley Blitz. Dean of Women, appears before the women of the University of Minnesota. Her interests are as numerous, her activities as legion as the number of women enrolled on the campus. Their problems are her problems. A desire to promote and maintain the highest standards of university life guides her decisions and helps her to solve problems of academic life. In a great urban university, where approximately one-half of the women students reside at home, it is an arduous task to develop 3 unified purpose, a spirit of co-operation, and a harmony of interest essential to progressive university living. Problems involving student living conditions, vocational guidance, student self-support, student loans and scholarships are referred to the dean. As a means toward realization of her aims, there are three units on the campus co-operating with the dean: the Women s Self-Government Association, which unifies the interests of all women: the Y. W. C. A., which adds spiritual values to the mass of activities: and the Women's Athletic Association, which encourages women s sports on the campus. The dean's office was created twenty-four years ago in response to a need recognized by the newly organized women. The advice given by the office has helped women students in fields of activity loo numerous to mention. Encouraging women to higher scholarship is one of the dean's most constructive services. 21

the general alumni association F. II. Piercf IV S. Gibson I'hc General Alumni Association, which includes the graduates of the respective schools and colleges of the University, was created in 1904 for the purpose of serving the institution through a united alumni body. The Board of Directors is composed of representatives elected by the respective college associations. Its officers this year are George R. Martin. ’021.. president: Orren E. Salford. 10L. vice-president: Thos. F. Wallace. 93. ’951.. treasurer: and E. B. Pierce. ’04. executive secretary. Believing that interest and enthusiasm to be effective must be backed by authentic and cumulative information, the Association has established the ALUMN! Weekly as the news medium carrying steadily to each graduate and former student the latest data concerning the program and progress of his Alma Mater as well as the news of the campus and his classmates. William S. Gibson. 27. is the editor. Through the courtesy of the Board of Regents each outgoing senior receives the WEEKLY for one year without charge. After that introduction to the alumni program it is expected that the graduate will want to receive the publication for the rest of his life. Among the numerous projects which have enlisted the united support of the alumni in the interests of the University are: (a) the release of the University from the Board of Con- trol; (b) creation of a new level for salaries of the staff: (c) enlargement of the campus by fifty-five acres: (d) establishment of local associations; (c campaign for funds to erect the stadium and the auditorium. Each new graduate can do his bit by becoming a life member of the Association and a life subscriber to its publication.
