miiiiiiHisiKMin... HofUd i . . . Like bullets out of a machine gun, rapid and raight to the mark, are the words of Mr. P. E. McDonald, Registrar and Asso- ciate Dean of the College. Mr. McDon- ald ' s quick, hard-clipped sentences are in- dicative of the alert mind, the enthusiasm, and the cheerfulness of the man. No one can talk with him without absorbing some of his effervescent energy. Much heralded and greatly admired is Mr. McDonald ' s memory for names and faces. According to the Tories one hears, the regiftrar remembers the names and faces of every indent he meets and, in mo cases, can tell the kinds of grades that the student makes. QUcuuxUo o the. i ' Xx Uex ue . . . Saying No to an army of spendthrift faculty members and Students is the un- pleasant daily duty of Mr. Dixie Boyd, Business Manager of the College. Having charge of the expenditures of the College, the Sludent labor, and the College loan fund, Mr. Boyd is the man who Struggles to make ends meet in the College financial system. With such duties it is necessary that he have a logical and well-trained mind, a mind not easily influenced by the pleadings of chronic money spenders. Between No ' s Mr. Boyd signs the checks that pay every student worker and every faculty member in the College.

Fonts, Dean of Men and director of the Depart- ment of Physical Education. The Dean spends much of his time luring athletes to come and do or die for dear old N. T. As sponsor of the Inter-Fraternity Coun- cil and as Dean of Men, Mr. Fonts is well- liked and admired. He handles the social life of Teachers College ' s youth with the easy manner of one who under ands. cfve U o t Pe Ufieciiue. . . . Making iUidents like what is good for them is the seemingly impossible task of Miss Edith L. Clark, Dean of Women of the College. It is she who sets the thou shalt not rules that govern indent life among the College ' s young women. Queen of campus homes, condu(5l and campus so- cial life. Dean Clark never loses sight of the indent ' s desires and changing conven- tions on the one hand, and common sense on the other. In spite of ill health at the beginning of this year, Miss Clark has carried on her work with the be of spirits. Even during her illness her guiding hand has been felt. If Page 24

US Of ill iISi HI 11 eMo ' n ide . . . Sharp is a titting name for Dr. L. A. Sharp, diredor of the Graduate Depart- ment, who, according to those who know him be l, missed his calUng when he took up schoolteaching inSlead of hoss trad- ing. A keen business man. Dr. Sharp has a reputation for getting the beil: of the deal in any trade. Those who re commend him for the more lowly profession reckon without Dr. Sharp ' s genuine ability as a teacher and ad mini trator. The ease and efficiency with which he has built up the well-merited reputation of our Graduate Department in the short space of three years te lities to his sound judgment. It is the capacity of being able to un- derhand not only what his udent teachers say to him, but also what they are unable to say, that makes Dr. J. C. Matthews, di- rector of teacher training, the ideal execu- tive. Students who consult Dr. Matthews find that he is able to delve to the bottom of problems, quickly and efficiently, ana- lyzing them and solving them with com- parative ease. His willingness to bear responsibility, to give sound advice, to consider the l:u- dents ' difficulties with a quiet and reassur- ing ease make him a popular boss. Page 26
