DEAN GEORGE C. SELLERy Dean of Wisconsin ' s largest college, Sellery has won for himself and for the College of Letters and Sciences widespread acclaim in scholastic circles. Although he has gained the reputation of being a strict disciplinarian, Dean Sellery is always glad to make an exception. Students can ' t fool the dean; his many years on the Wis- consin campus have enabled him to anticipate their varied excuses. His stern demeanor has frightened many a student, but underneath he is kindly and goes out of his way to help anyone in trouble. A native of Canada, the dean came to the United States thivty-two years ago. After re- ceiving his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, he taught history in several universities. In 1919 he was appointed Dean of the College of Letters and Sciences at Wisconsin. Dean Sellery has a varied personality; he enjoys being domestic, and, handy with a screw- driver, he takes care of all the repairs at the office and at his home. He has quite a collection of pipes, tobacco, old hats, and canes in his private den at home. His excellent taste in clothes wins the admiration of all his students. The dean has never owned a car, and it is a familiar sight to see him daily walking up the hill, puffing on his pipe. LETTERS AND SCIENCE 30
