Dean Clotworthy Counsels All Carolina ' s Women THE life that Miss Elizabeth Clotworthy, Dean of Women, leads is a busy one. Her chief concern is for the welfare and the personal and social problems of Carolina women. She spends a great deal of her time listening to the problems of her girls, sometimes offering advice, but more often helping the girls reach their own decisions. At many schools the Dean of Women is con- sidered a person far removed from campus life, a situation which is not true at USC. The door of the Dean ' s office is always open, and she is ready to be a friend to all who need her. Her importance is recognized also by other deans throughout the state, and they elected her president of the State Association of Women Deans, and Counsellors for 1960. Another honor recently accorded her was her selection to Who ' s Who in American Women. The deep regard she has for her girls is seen in everything she does, from personally greeting new students to helping prepare the girls for their careers after they leave school. MISS ELIZABETH CLOTWORTHY Dean of Women Friendly and informal discussions in Dean Clotworthy ' s office usually dissolve even the most momentous problem.
