1 1 ' in IB ' ' nmS, r DEAN VERNA BOYLES G. W. ROSENLOF Very much a favorite with the feminine members of the student body is Dean of Women, Verna G. Boyies. Always eager to Usten to and cooperate with those inter- ested in changes and revisions of practices, she has proved herself invaluable in furthering student ' s interests on the campus. Realizing the need for placing social as well as academic activities on a war-time basis she has heen in- strumental in bringing these activities into harmony with current thought. She typifies the ideal dean so sought after but seldom found. Stay in school until called. This was the sound advice of Dr. G. W. Rosenlof who, in addition to serving in his three-fold capacity as Director of Admissions, Registrar and University Examiner, found time to counsel students concerning their war-time plans. More than doubled was the work of his office; aided by a competent staff he met constant requests for records of students entering defense work and military service; maintained contacts with other universities ' war-time plans and kept University records in order.

Adiniiiistration Staff To the Administrative StalF, comprised of the deans of the colleges .ind the various directors of the schools, falls the task of placing in effect the policies of the University as outlined hy the Chancellor and Board of Regents. As agents in advising and assisting the Chancellor in the de- velopment of University policies and practices, the mem- bers occupy a vital and influential positit)n in the school ' s operation. Recognizing the seriousness of the war situation and its implications in regard to the educational pro ' ram of the schcwl, the Staff has adjusted itself quickly and logic- ally to the war-time trend of thought. Responsibility for the application of the revised calendar has necessitated the revamping of teaching methods and subject-matter in the colleges, as well as the introduction of new ideas and materials. The absences of various faculty members has presented a problem of readjustment which the Staff has met through wise planning. Equally essential have been the various responsibilities placed upon the members cl the Staff in respect to counseling and aiding students in ,i wise choice of curricula. DE. • T J THOMPSON Hundreds of bewildered college men, confronted with the problem of what to do until called to active mili- tary service have found in Dean of Student Affairs. T. J. Thompson, a real friend and advisor. By timely and helpful advice he has assisted many of these stu dents in planning their s;h(.K)l program in such a man ner as to derive the maximum benefit from it prior to their entrance into the service. His understanding of the distracting el7ects of this war situation upon the student body has made him a valuable counselor. L r. SEATON ( Ipir.ilinK Superintendent 1.

Head uf the fajulty and coordinator of all activities within the Graduate ColleKC is Dean R. W. Goss whose fine work and planning arc evidenced by the success of the administra- tive policy in the college. To equip men and women for important places in the world ' s affairs; to train them for a life of scholarship — this is the aim of the Graduate College and its faculty members. The far-reaching influence of the specialized training offered by the College has pro- duced eminent figures in literature, philosophy and the social sciences. Significant and valuable has been the work of the graduate students in the past years and this war-year has been no exception; experiments, re- search work, papers on findings and formulation of materials will be of help tt) those engaged in war in- dustries and the professionals. Make-up of the Graduate faculty is unusual for its professors arc taken from all departments of the Uni- versity and therefore constitute no separate faculty such as other colleges have. The professors are those under whom the graduate students worked in under- graduate days. C(jurscs offered by tlic (-ollcgc numK-r in ihe hun- dreds and are of all kinds and descriptions; therefore, the need of expanding the curriculum to meet w.ir con- ditions has not been acute. Although certain of the male students are being de- ferred because of the nature of their work, conscription is claiming many; those remaining are working hard toward their ultimate goal advanced degrees.
