Dean J. Edward Hoffmeister College qf Arts and Science One of the most popular persons in the Univer- sity is Edward Hoflimeister. As the competent Dean ofthe College ol' Arts and Science, and an eminent geologist and educator, Dr. Hoffmeister commands the respect of everyone who knows him. But the affection with which he is universally re- garded is a result of his own warm, approachable personality. Dean Lester 0. Wilder College for Men, One of the most diflicult and delicate positions in the University is that of Dean of the Men's Campus. The holder of that post must face the dual problems presented by the student body on the one hand. and the administration of the campus on the other. Lester O. Wiilder assumed the posi- tion in 1943, and since then has done a remarkably fine job. He has evidenced a sensitive understand- ing of the desires and rights of the student body and has been a loyal and good friend of every Rochester man without sacrificing one of his high ideals of education. Dean Janet H. Clark Collegefor Women The city of Rochester has always been intimately connected with the movement to increase oppor- tunities for women in our society. This has been reflected in the College for VVomen of the Univer- sity of Rochester, which has steadily grown in reputation, quality, and scope. janet H. Clark has been part of this growth, both as an outstanding teacher of bio-physics and as Dean of the College for Wlomen since 1939. Her conscientious, effective performance of her duties has won her the admira- tion and love of all the Prince Street Campus.

Although each group acts as an independent organiza- tion, the three work in close co-Operation throughout the year and together are responsible for the supervision and regulation of all campus activities requiring financial support as well as for the determination Of all policies of the undergraduate College. Comprised of seven students, three administrative members, three faculty members, and one alumnus, the Board of Control is responsible for distributing the income which it receives from student activity fees and gate receipts among all campus activities requiring financial support at the College for Men. In addition to exercising financial control, the Board aids in the Organization, planning, and management of the numerous campus activities and Of the athletic program. Acting as the liaison unit between students and the Adminis- and Board of ontrol tration, the Students' Association of the College for Men is designed to represent student interests in the formulation of new policies of the undergraduate college. The SA this year sponsored its usual number Of traditional college functions and worked in co-Operation with the Administration and the Students' Association On the Prince Street campus in inaugurat- ing the very successful convocation programs. The Students, Association of the College for Wfomen serves much the same purpose as does that On the River Campus, but in addition to its other activities exercises financial control, being wholly responsible for the distribution of funds received frOIn the womens student activity fees. The SA Board is com- posed Of its five Ofiicers elected by the entire student body, two faculty members chosen by the Board itself, and representatives Of the four classes and Of important student groups on campus. The Students' Associations On both campuses worked this year in co-Operation with the National Students' Association and took an active part in several NSA conferences.
