Frank Stanron, Ella L. ae CSE Although the business and policies of the University of Idaho are controlled by the Board of Regents, it takes an efficient administrative staff to carry out the dic tates of the regents. These powers are given to the administrative officials. The staff members are Frank Stanton, Bursar; Ella Olesen, Registrar; Belle Sweet, Librarian; Oren A. Fitzgerald, Editor; L. W. Lind, Superintendent of Buildings Olesen, Oren A. Fitzgerald, M. Belle Sweet, R. W. Lind , ip iy ome alive 2 dicials and Grounds; and Robert Greene, Proctor. [ach has a distinct purpose and duty to perform. The future of the University is dependent upon these men and women. Without their foresight and efficient hand- ling of affairs the University would not have weathered the forty-odd years of its existence. The high efficiency of the depart ments is also maintained by the aid of an efficient staff of University graduates. STITT IES K SESTESE Jay Grover Exprince is rightfully the honored member of the faculty “old guard,” judging by length of service to the University, as his con- nection with the faculty dates back to 1got.

It is his duty to act as the gover ning hand in the absence of the president. He is also the oldest member of the faculty in years of service and must be qualified to step into the shoes of any of the deans in the University. Dean Jay Glover Eldridge has been a member of the university faculty since 1g01. He has, at one time or another, been the acting dean of practically all of the schools and colleges of the University, which requires a vast knowledge of university and college curricula. During the world war he was Y. M. C. A. see- retary with the American Expeditionary forces in France. He is at the head of the Modern Language department, and in addition to carry- ing the duties of Dean of Faculty, he is faculty sponsor for the International Relations Club, students group, and vice chairman of the Aca- demic Council.

Ss = i] a of Tl CHL Theoretically mothering several hundred women is a task that Dean Permeal French has held at the University of Idaho for many years. A true Idahoan, Dean French has attended the University, and holds the growth of her alma mater as one of her greatest ideals. Dean French is the supervisor over all living quarters for women on the university campus. Hays Hall, Forney Hall, and the College Wom- en’s Club are directly supervised by Miss French. All rules governing the sororities, as well as the rulings governing all campus social functions are set up by the dean. The newest group house accommodating women is the College Women’s Club, which was founded as a result of the efforts of Dean French. The club operates on a cooperative basis, all women assisting in the upkeep and operation of the club. The Dean of Women has also made possible the occupancy of Forney Hall by fac- ulty women at a low cost. Permeat J. Frencu, Dean of Wom- en, was educated in the public schools of Idaho and the College of Notre Dame, in San Francisco. She holds M.A. degrees from the University of Idaho and George Washington Uni- versity. Prior to her becoming Dean of Women in 1908, she served as State Superintendent of Schools.

Every possible facility is offered graduate students for the purpose of promoting initiative and self-direction in study. Master’s degrees are offered by all of the schools and colleges of the Univ ersity. Higher earning power of individuals receiving graduate degrees is a recognized fact. Consequently, since the depression, many students have returned to the University to obtain master's degrees.
