DEAN OF MEN SCHOOL OFFICERS Frank Knight President ViNCiL Harmon Vice-President Louis Jacquin Secretary-Treasurer BECAUSE there has been much human waste in the processes of education and because it is now re- garded as desirable that no man shall go out from his college a failure until every- thing possible has been done to make him a success, there has come into existence the dean of men ' s office. The general function of a Dean of Men is to supervise the life of undergraduates, to the end that they may realize a higher attainment — scho- lastic, moral and social — than could otherwise be possible. At Missouri the Dean of Men spends much of his time in conference with students, instructors or parents. Through personal contacts he endeavors to help young men to a solution of itheir personal problems. By sympathetic and understanding advice he seeks to enlist the students in an intelligent furthering of their own interests and the interests of the University and community. At all times, the Dean of Men purposes to deal with each student, not only as a member of a very complex organization, but also — and, perhaps, chiefly — as an individual of vital importance in himself.

m ? SCHOOL OF MEDICINE SCHOOL OFFICERS Howard Dunaway President Daniel Landau Vice-President Harold Cokely Secretary-Treasurer UNLESS popular inter- est in medicine, and especially in preventive medi- cine and public health, de- clines, physicians are likely to occupy positions of in- creasing influence in public affairs. If medical men are to continue to so serve, they must have not merely a fine technical medical education but also the best possible general education. To com- bine the scientific training required by modern physi- cians with the liberal educa- tion needed by leaders of the community is not easy, but it is possible. The Faculty of Medicine aims to so regulate access to and exit from this School as to give assurance that its students shall in due time be not only skillful workers in the specific scientific field for which they are trained but also intelligent contributors to the forces that make for the advancement of the communities in which they live. The University Hospital maintains hospital service available to residents of Missouri. Since July, 1927, the hospital service has been extended to include a free service to crippled children.

( i ii ' -i: : ' DEAN OF WOMEN SCHOOL OFFICERS Mary Ellen Hubbard President Caroline Pratt Vice-President Jane Crcpper Secretary Eleanor Niehuss Treasurer THERE is a tradition in these United States of America, that ail the people should gladly pay the neces- sary taxes to educate the capable young people of the land for intellectual, socia political, and economic leadership. The young peo- ple volunteer to accept the nation ' s gift of education. The majority perhaps fully expect to make the payment of service in leadership. Two essentials must be obtained for this service, first a vision of the goal toward which they are to lead; second, a stout heart for the journey. An understanding mind not only sees the direction in which true progress for humanity lies but it also has sympathetic knowledge of the human heart. The number of followers attained by any leader and the intensity of their devotion to that leader is usually in ratio to his endow- ment of human sympathy. The true leader imparts to his followers a part of his vision and a part of his courage. Thus the world ' s battles are won. May we all strive to learn to see clearly and to lead bravely. 5i Read Hall Page 25 2a 2a
