PAGE 18 UNIVERSITY NORMAN P. AUBURN Dean of University Administration The college year 1945-46 has been a stirring one in the history of the University and in the lives of its students and faculty. It will go down in the annals of U. C. as the year in which hundreds of students and scores of faculty members were welcomed back to the campus after valiant service in World War II. Their return has helped to enrich the lives of all. It has been heartening and en- couraging to note their seriousness of purpose. The University itself has made significant progress this year. Two independent units — the Colleges of Business Administration and of Applied Arts — have been established to serve returning veterans more adequately. Housing has been provided for large numbers of non-residents. Surplus government property has been obtained to improve instruction in classroom and laboratory. And a suitable site has been acquired for the projected Armory and Field House and the Dormitory. The accomplishments of 1945-46 give assurance that your Alma Mater can look forward to years of splendid service to the community and the nation. In this endeavor you, as students and graduates, can be of great help.

PAGE 20 UNIVERSITY DEOn OF (TIEn ROBERT W. BISHOP Acting Dean of Men You have often asked the university telephone operator to give you the Dean of Men ' s office. When you stop to think about your reasons for calling it, you are amazed; they are so varied. The place must be practically an information bureau. Well, no, not quite; but it does serve the men on this campus in a number of ways. Advising and adjust- ing freshmen to the university are not its only duties, although they are very important ones. Upperclassmen v ith a problem in mind also assemble here to get their share of advice on personal, financial and scholastic problems. Furthermore this office keeps records of, and approves of all fraternity affairs. Pledges ' grades are scrutinized to see that they meet academic requirements before initiation. What Is more, there Is a record of every man ' s activities on campus plus service records of those who were in the armed forces.
