Permeal J. French THE DEAN OF WOMEN Droper educational values with definiteness of aim and purpose have been responsible for the conservative growth and development of the University of Idaho. Its ranking is with those institutions that have attained to high honor. To many people of the state who have not realized its development, it is a source of never-ending surprise, for already it stands a magnificent monument to the citizens who gave it and to those who have fostered it. The love that it has engendered in students’ hearts will always live and bring them back again and again to glimpse youth, renew friendships and avow allegiance. The progress of the University is certain, but there must be neither artificiality nor lack of honest, steady purpose. It must build men and women of courage, character, and ability, for their measure alone will be the measure of her progress. —PERMEAL J. FRENCH. aE — — — ee Page 23

glad to say here. Irving Willard Jones THRE VICE=-DRESIDERT “THello, Idaho!’ In your own characteristic phrase you have greeted me— on campus walk, in crowded corridor, in social hall, where- ever we have met. The greeting has in its cheery ring a note of cordiality, of friends ship, even of comradeship. Best of all is its sincerity. It has given me a real glow of satisfaction, and made me feel | was among those who had trust and confidence in those who are chosen to help them along the road of self-education. How can one but be thrilled by such a response to one’s presence! It is a call to equal friendship and sincerity, a chal- lenge to give one’s best to the business at hand. So | have said in my heart, and openly, too, what I am “You are the best boys and girls I have ever worked for. I will be one of you. So long as I continue to be your guest | will strive to keep your faith. And when in time I may go my wandering way your hearty greeting will still ring to linger as a che rished memory. ” in my ears, Hello, Idaho! ” —Irvinc W. JoNnEs.

Dean Jay Glover Eldridge THRE UNIVERSITY FACULTY The Dean of the University Faculty is one of the important administrative officers under the president. But whereas each of the other deans is responsible for his own school or college, the duties of the dean of the faculty concern the University as a whole. He supplements the functions of the college deans; his duties are advisory; he facilitates relation- ships of the several schools and colleges with the president and with the general faculty. These functions are most definitely apparent in the dean’s capacity as vice-chairman of the Academic Council, which is the central administrative body of the University. In the president’s absence the dean presides. To the dean are assigned many general duties growing out of these meetings; he reports the proceedings to the general faculty. Dean Eldridge is head of the Department of Modern Langua- ges and chairman of the Advisory Council of the University Junior Council as well as Dean of the University Faculty. Since he is the dean longest in service of the institution, in that sense his deanship is honorary. Page 24
