THE DEARS OF THE RLLRn UUILSOn HOBBS Dean Hobbs, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and Professor of Mathematics, is perhaps best known for his sympathetic help in untangling schedule difficulties and for his love of hunting and fishing. On his shoulders rests the responsibility 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. CECIL jonnson Taking over as Dean of the General College in this most difficult year, Dean Johnson has had the task of keeping tabs on every under-classman in the University. In addition. Dean Johnson has been the conscientious and hard-working advisor to the largest group of advisees in University history. Though he teaches both American History and Social Science, he has found time to be both an ardent base- ball fan and family man. DUDLEY deUUITT CRRROLL 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 undergrad- uate schools in the nation. UUILLIRm UUHRTLEY PIERSOR Dean of the Graduate School and Head of the Department of Political Science, Dean Pierson finds time to give several courses in political theory. His intense interest in Latin American relations has led him to lengthy visits to South American nations; and while in Venezuela summer before last, he was made a member of the National Academy of Venezuela. He is now writing a history of that nation. 18

DERD FRflnCIS F. BRflDSHRUU . EARED in a Presbyterian manse, Dean Francis F. Bradshaw stands as the restless, fearless, dy- namic exponent of democracy and education in action in all phases of Carolina life. Rarest and greatest qualities of THE TEACHER are his: brilliant intellect, genuine scholarship, vast and pro- found learning, amazing ability to impart facts, i deas and inspiration synchronously to his students — who bear spontaneous testimony that he is without a peer among their mentors. Far ahead of his confreres, he diagnosed the demands and adjustments with which a warring world challenged the University; even though few shared his prophetic vision, he planned, exhorted and slaved until Carolina went to war. DEflD ROLRRD B. PRRKER f OLAND PARKER, in the three short years since he came to the University from Darlington, has risen from General College Adviser and Social Science Instructor to Dean of Men. Actual friend to more indi- vidual students than a campus politician can call by name, he has never turned down a request for help or advice. By his interest and work he has become a sine qua noii in student government. His intense devotion to his job has made him essential to a University at war. 17
