W. J t)ean ofi faculty M. J. Nelson has been the head and adviser of the faculty for the past ten years. I 1 is many other offi- cial duties consist of the administra- tion of all registration and scholar- ship regulations, supervision of the program of instruction, and arrange- ment of any nesessary changes in cur- riculum or administrative policy. The dean’s office harbors many stu- dent appeals. The mention of the curve of normal distribution, the coefficient of cor- relation. and statistical measures all help to bring to mind the Workbook in Statistics for Teachers, with I)r. M. J. Nelson and Dr. K. C. Denny as its co-authors. In keeping with this administrative anil writing ability, Dean Nelson acts as go-between for faculty and student groups. This year more than ever Dean Nelson has found multiple duties as the contacting agent between the two groups. The number of prospective curriculum changes suggested by various departments has found a willing and thoughtful helper in Dean Nelson. Another important duty for the Dean of the Faculty is the supervision of the College Catalog. Paqe 2.0

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE The present seniors were f reshmen that day we met in the auditorium and listened to declarations of war. When these graduates leave the cam- pus, no students will remain who remember what was once regarded as normal college life. It is only natural that we pause in retrospect in this issue of the OLD Gold. Those were abundant, happy days: each year was a panorama of events, friendships and memories. Hut we must not he misled by our retrospection. What we regarded as normal four years ago will never quite return—the factors will not be the same. College life has been altered in keeping with changed conditions. None of us would have it otherwise. Instead of vainly pursuing the customary, we have designed our living in terms of the present. Events, friendships, and memories are just as cherished even though cloaked in different settings. The homecoming of our service men and women, world citizenship, an era of peace, revolutionary inventions, increased comforts—all these will tend to produce a new “normalcy” in college life. In youth, normalcy always races ahead of us. The good old days—yes, hut also the equally good present and the even better future. The faculty and the administration are proud to have been associated with you who have been citizens on this campus during these four valiant years. —Mai.colm Price Page 19

Mam are also grateful for the conveniences of the business office lor cashing checks of the home- town bank. All items of expenditure and income are carefully checked by the staff of mathematical experts employed in the business office. Trust funds for more than one hundred student and faculty organizations are handled annually, and all financial enterprises such as publications, the fountain room and food service are directly responsible to this office. Among the many other duties of this office are the purchasing of supplies and the distribution of those supplies—the latter accomplished by a system whereby materials are requisitioned. Students as well as faculty and administration employees are very conscious of Mr. Boardman's official capacity as payroll administrator! Page 21
