( 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

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.

Mf 5 -I ■; ;i i CITIZENS of Missouri should appreciate their University, for it has attained a high rank among the Universities of America. But the satisfaction of the needs of higher education in the state must be met by definite substantia! support from the Legislature. The University ' s high rani , the effi- ciency of its administration, and the high character of its educa- tional directors surely justify this support. We urge immediate ac- tion to maintain the University as a leader in the advance of education. J 5 ' . -■ ' : , -I 1 1 Page 26
