Dean Hosp T. J. THOMPSON a good university should contain- Dean Thompson In a small office, the walls of which are lined with books and pamph- lets, is a well-built man with kindly eyes and greying hair. He is Dean of Student Affairs, T. J. Thompson. Under the glass of his desk, placed so that it is visible to the visitor, is a clipping which reads: In a land where loyal opposition is impossible, there can be neither stability nor health. ' This is the philosophy of the man who guides the students of the University. Dean Thompson is a graduate of the University of Nebraska, so his interest in its welfare began during his student days. Two sons now attend the Uni- versity. He believes every good uni- versity should contain good courses, good teachers, good scholarship, and decent kids for students. That ' s all that you need to make the best university on earth. THE DEANS A rather tall, slender brunette; grad- uate of Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland; and a former pupil of Ma- dam Schumann-Heink is Dean of Wo- men Miss Helen Hosp. Her philosophy of life may be quot- ed in the words of William Allen White, I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love to- day. Working with students has been Dean Hosp ' s aim in life and she has carried it through all of the stages. First teaching, then as a field secre- tary, and finally entering the Univer- sity of Nebraska as its Dean of Women. She has proved by her attendance at all school functions her belief that the faculty and students should be in closer contact. Dean Hosp also carries through the idea that there is nothing on earth from which one can learn more than from actual contact with people. DEAN HELEN HOSP -through all the stages. [15]

Elswortli Duieau Did you ever wonder who publishes the FOOTBALL TABLOID, THE NE- BRASKA ALUMNUS, or THE UNIVER- SITY NEWS? Their sponsor is the Alumni Association, headed by Els- worth DuTeau, prominent Lincoln res- ident, and former outstandmg Ne- braska track and football star. As a student he won further acclaim in a speech urging the student body against The Evils of the University Social System. But his fame did not end there,- Mr. DuTeau worked on the Cornhusker and Daily Nebraskan, was elected to Innocents Society and Phi Beta Kappa. Accepting the position of Alumni Sec- retary on Christmas day, 1938, he as- sumed his new duties March I, 1939. All of our work, states Mr. DuTeau, is based upon one thing. All of our justification for exist- ence on the campus is that the University has an enduring part in the aachievements of each alumnus. lOHN SELLECK -dreams came true. John K. Selleck ACTIVITIES AND ALUMNI ELSWORTH DUTEflU 54,000 alumni are a fertile field. John K. Selleck ' s ca- reer as Director of Stu- dent Activities may be traced in the develop- ment which has taken place in that depart- ment since he took over the position in 1922. In that year the last football game was played in the old stadium, and ground was broken for the present sta- dium. Then a twenty year plan for the athletic department was devised. As a result of this plan the Coliseum was built, the intramural field laid out, and plans drawn for one of the largest and most complete field houses on any campus. Hopes are that this last ad- dition will be completed and ready for use in the fall of 1941. Mr. Selleck also has found the time to nearly complete the picture series for the trophy room in the Coliseum. Thus, his dream of perfect buildings and equipment for the athletic depart- ment has been almost realized. fl4]

DEAN W. W. BURR important cog in Nebraska ' s largest industry. AGRICULTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES DEAN C. H. OLDFflTHER history teacher extraordinary: runs the biggest college. Services of the College of Agricul- ture are divided between educating our future farmers and providing reli- able information for the present farm- ers. Since Nebraska is primarily an agricultural state, much importance is attached to the latter. Courses in this college are of two typos. There are undergraduate and graduate courses leading to degrees, and special short courses adapted to the special needs of the modern farm- er. Practical instruction in modern dairying methods. Students examine iiiodei oil derrick in geology lab. The purpose of the College of Arts and Sciences is to develop the social and cultural abilities of a student rather than to train him for a profes- sion. This college differs from all oth- ers in that it is non- vocational. Established as a Liberal Arts College in 1871, the College of Arts and Sci- ences was the only one in the Univer- sity at that time. Since then, it has grov n until it now boasts the largest onroUment ol any college at Nebraska.
