DEAN OF MEN 1 ,ii S HE development of character should be the chief aim of all educational eifort. There is so much wreckage in college life and the number of those who enter with high hopes and purposes and who finally arrive, is so small that there seems to be a real human problem here for solution. A college and its processes should not be considered merely as a machine, for it is dealing with men — men with different native abilities and aptitudes — men from different social and economic home influences, each affected by its own cn ' ironment. RAYMOND H. LKACK Dean uf Men It is the pri ' ilege of the Dean of Men to come to know these different lads and to help them solve the various problems which present themseh ' es during their college years. The greatest reward which can come to one in this ofHce is the confidence and friendship of the men with whom he deals. ■ — Raymond Hotchkiss Leach. 1 ' Ni LINCOLN HALL, MEN ' S DORMITORY -4 19]t -
