DEANS OF THE ALLAN WILSON HOBBS Dean Hobbs, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and Professor of Mathematics, is perhaps best known for his sym- pathetic help in untangling schedule difficulties and for his love of hunting and fishing. On his shoulders rests the respon- sibility of keeping up with some 1,100 juniors and seniors who major in one of the liberal arts or sciences — and he does a good job. CORYDON PERRY SPRUILL As Dean of the General College, Dean Spruill has the none- too-easy task of keeping tab on every freshman and sophomore in the University. An able Professor of Economics in addition to being dean, he carries out the tremendous amount of work which his office requires with thoroughness, with fairness, and always with a desire to see the student ' s point of view. DUDLEY deWITT CARROLL Dean of the School of Commerce, Head of the Department of Economics, and Professor of Economics, Dean Carroll is also President of the Board of Trustees of Guilford College. Not content with founding the Commerce School, he has watched it grow, under his guidance, into one of the tough- est schools on the campus and one of the best undergraduate schools in the nation. SUSAN GREY AKERS The School of Library Science, one of the smallest schools on the campus, is nevertheless one of the best; and the work of Dean Akers has been responsible in large measure for its success. Her energy, patience, and perseverance command the respect of her students, and have become as much a part of the school as has she, herself. 26
