ANNA K. BANKS Director of the Department of Home Economics The womans college of today has a great op- portunity and a great responsibility. The chief responsibility for the progress of civilization lies with women, since our present social organization has placed in their hands the guidance of the child. MThe Oklahoma College for women, designed to meet the complex needs of modern womans existence, offers to the young women of the state, education along the broadest possible lines, so as to secure for her a more rapid and satisfactory adjustment to these complex conditions. Deans and Directors HOWARD TAYLOR Dean of the College This year has been the best in the history of the college. Doubtless that statement has been true of each preceding year back to the beginning. The knowledge and experience of the past becomes the wisdom of the present so that we may have a better understanding of our problems, a clearer vision of our opportunities, and a keener sense of our social responsibility. This year is the best and will remain the best only if we have made it possible for next year to be better, FRANCES D1NsMoRE DAVIS Dean of the School of Fine Arts Victor Hugo has said that the beautiful is as useful as the useful-if not more so. In a world where the urgent need for acquiring the means for living comfortably, not to say lux- uriously, seems to call for all the time and thought and energy of the average man and woman, it is highly essential that young people should be taught to keep in mind the spiritual and the aesthetic, in order to temper for them the hard experiences of material living, which must come to each in some degree in later life. It is axiomatic that emotion which is repressed and refused expression, dies. So it becomes imperative to give expression to abstract beauty for the sake of our own souls and the good of the whole world. A sordid life may be redeemed by the mere exercise of Art expres- sion. IULIA LEE HAWKINS Dean of Women What aims are involved in guiding students to live wisely a well-poised life? A pro- gram providing for a normal social life for every student is the aim of the Oklahoma College for women. bpecial eirort has been made to live opportunities for the finest mental development in addition to those offered in the class room. It is the plan of the college to teach girls through their participation in a variety of activities to assume and to share responsibilityg to acquire self-control, to meet new situations with ease: and inci- dentally but still important, to learn social amenities.
