DEAN OF THE FACULTY A worried looking student rushes along the hall of the Administration Building, turns the knob on a door bearing the impressive title Dean of Faculty with trembling hand, and disappears into the inner sanctum . Five minutes later he emerges, triumphantly waving a tiny but important white slip of paper, and breathes a deep sigh of relief. Thank heaven. I had all my cuts used up in that course; I just had to have an excused absence. Besides such petty annoyances as the above. Dr. M J. Nelson is kept busy giving academic guidance to students and maintain- ing scholarship regulations, and compiling the class schedule books and college catalog. He is also a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Educational Research, the executive committee of the National Society of College Teachers of Education, and the executive committee of Teachers College Personnel Association. Dr. Nelson is co-author of several text- books used on both the secondary and col- lege levels, including the workbook currently in use in the Statistics course at this col- lege. Besides being an essential person to the operation of this institution, he is known throughout the country for his work in the field of education. Pago 14

IOWA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE CEDAR FALLS. IOWA Ofllc of Pr iid nt May 15. 1949 Dear Friends. How appropriate it is that a college year ends upon a vibrant season filled with the satisfaction of a year of accomplishment and the immediacy of challenges to greater achievements while life’s springtide is still before us. During our years together on this campus we have gained in stature. Yet we must all realize that true learning and understanding have only been sown within our minds; the flower of promise and the fruit of success are yet to be achieved in the sunshine and storms, the trials and opportunities of future seasons of maturity. The many successes achieved by students in varied fields of activity have made this cycle of seasons a pleasant and profitable year upon this campus. Real leadership has been shown and abilities have been developed which will carry over into successful professional service to the young people in our public schools. The faculty deems it a privilege to have been associ- ated with you and to have had a friendly interest in your accomplishments. A college without memories is a college without a history. Into this yearbook have been garnered the memories of a year of interesting and pleasant associations. Each succeeding year will intensify the value of the recorded activities. Individual successes will be traced through life’s summer and autumn and become satisfying recollections as the dormancy of the winter of life shrouds all. leaving only memories. Sincerely. Malcolm Price. President.

 Aclministratori DEAN OF WOMEN DEAN OF MEN Together with her staff and the officers of the Women s League Board. Dean of Wo- men Sadie B. Campbell helps plan and carry out a program which challenges the women students of the campus to take advantage of the opportunities afforded them for social and intellectual growth while they are at Teach- ers College. Miss Campbell takes a special interest in housing for the women students. She and her staff inaugurated a system of counseling by upper-class women to help freshmen wo- men become oriented to dormitory life away from home. Evidence that this plan has been successful is the fact that fewer girls drop out of school because of homesickness or other problems of readjustment. Dean Campbell also takes a lot of interest in the student food service and recreation center, the Commons. All in all. she serves the best interests of the students as indi- viduals and as a group. When a fellow needs a friend. he goes to the Dean of Men's Office, where Gordon Ellis has been counseling men students since February of 1946. In addition, the handling of veterans' problems and all personal rec- ords. men's housing, employment, and ab- sences were among his duties. In spite of this busy schedule. Dean Ellis found time to be the adviser to the Student League, house councils, and social fraternities. Dean Ellis left Teachers College at the end of the fall quarter to accept a position at the University of North Carolina. Chapel Hill. N. C. At the beginning of the winter quarter. Dr. Paul F. Bender, professor of men s phys- ical education, assumed the duties of Dean of Men. He is the sponsor of Interfraternity Council and the Student Welfare Commis- sion and is now trying to revive the Men's Union, which has not been active since 1946. Poq« 15
