e Buf fe Qacf . Back of the smooth running of Massa- chusetts State College, there is an ad- ministrative group who keep it so. This is no simple task, especially during these war years, which, with the shortages of labor and supplies alone, furnish many new problems for administrative officers. President Hugh P. Baker is the personal link between the trustees and the faculty; Dean William L. Machmer and Registrar Marshall O. Lanphear administer en- trance procedure and the curriculum. Miss Edna L. Skinner, as Dean of Wom- en, is concerned with their problems. And, with the 58th C.T.D. here, Professor Ralph A. Va n Meter was appointed Associate Dean in charge of the Army Air Force Academic Instruction. The College secretary is W ' illiam J. Burke; while treasurer Robert D. Haw- ley, and assistant treasurer John K. Broadfoot see that financial ends meet each year. Gunnar S. Erick.son, as bus- iness officer, buys college supplies in addi- tion to other financial responsibilities. Guy . Glatfelter is now Acting Director of the placement service for students, as Mr. Emery E. Grayson is in the service. Placement Officer for women is Miss Margaret Hamlin. Di- recting the Experiment Station and the Graduate school, is Fred J. Sievers; Ro- land H. Verbeck is Director of Short Courses, including Stockbridge School; and Willard A. Munson, Director of the Extension Service. The organizations they control are closely allied with the regular college program. Basil Wood commands the tacking up of little signs in Goodell Libe, and in the Alumni Office George E. Emery is the medium between the great beyond (the Alumni) and the souls here on campus.

It is fitting that the 1944 Index is dedicated to Massachusetts State College in the Armed services. The College is proud that through its sons and daughters it can share directly in the war for human f reedom, and is backing them and the war effort in a series of war programs. The College is training Army Air Force cadets; our teachers go out to other communities to train industrial workers; the Extension Service has taken leader- ship in Massachusetts food-production and preservation; teachers and adminis- trators are working the year through on the aviation teaching program and in the summer session. The College produc- tion departments — orchards, poultry plant, et cetera — have expanded to reduce our food purchases. New courses have been added, war-important research studies made, and short training courses for new farm workers provided. The College is glad to serve actively, and shall find new ways to do so. Another marked change has come to us. For the first time women students out- number the civilian men — 533 to 147. We welcome them, as it is increasingly apparent that women must play an im- portan t part in America ' s war eflfort and in the peace and rehabilitation to follow. I know that our women students join with me in pledging to Alumni and stu- dents in the Armed Forces our determin- ation to . carry on with the same high standards, to be ready for the readjust- ments of peacetime, and to keep the college high on the Nation ' s honor roll.
