Bidillr On'ink Of Tin Ihsiii Of M«»n Student rallies, fraternities, veterans affairs, senior placement and musical organizations are hut a few of the many activities that make the office of the Dean of Men one of the busiest places in the Cathedral. Now in his eighth year as Dean of Men, Theodore W. Middle has as his goal the achievement of a well rounded student life by every man at Mitt. Aiding the Dean in striving towards this goal are seven assistants and directors. Fraternities are the chief responsibility of K. .1.
