Probably those working in this field would say unanimously it is a buffer state . The office was created primarily to help the indi idual girl make her adjustments in academic, residential, social, financial, and health matters. It also functions in assisting in her transfer from another school to this one and from this school to institutions more suited for her chosen specialization. It follows her out into the great wide world, recommending her as highly as possible, and it is con- stantly heartened by news of success in life careers. When a girl is in trouble about courses elected, class room discipline, University regulations operating in any department or her own private matters, her first aid opportunity is in this office. The second major duty of the office of the Dean of Women is to assist in the executive business of all the Campus Women ' s Organizations. Here assistance is given in connecting the individual girls with organizations in outlining programs for organizations, in the work of individual officers, and in connecting the local work of campus organizations with their respective national organizations- The approval residence lists, party permissions and chaperonage, eligibility for acti ities, public pro- grams for which the women are responsible, election to general honorary societies and comparative grade statistics for women ' s organizations all have the attention of this office. Sometimes in reflecting on the work, Deans of Women almost regret the title as it stands and long to write themselves dwellers in a little house of friendship on that road of promise travelled by all college women.

Ih. - jt 3 ii ei v I Tfe Demi if Men James Finch Dean Heckel James A. Finch Charles Hughes Constance Read President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer EVERY September several thousand students arrive on our campus, most of them w ith high hopes and purposes. Their coming creates real problems, not only for themselves, but for those who are to be their teachers, advisers, and guides. There is much waste in our educational institutions, and someone needs to be responsible for seeing to it that no student shall go out from his college a failure until everything possible has been done to make him a success. Of course, the student will have to solve for himself the scholastic, social, and moral difficulties of a university community, diffi- culties which grow more and more complex as the size of the university increases. But in making their adjustments to new and experimental relationships, to a new freedom, and to new and larger responsibilities, few students are so self-reliant as to feel no need of help or advice from persons more mature than themselves in age and experience. The office of the Dean of Men provides to the students opportunity for personal conference on their many interests. The Dean of Men has the super ' ision of extra-curricular activities. In his office also are centered matters of discipline, but in this his aim is to have concern with men rather than rules, emphasizing prevention and cure above punishment. In all ways the dean of men intends to deal with each student not only as a member of a very im- portant organization, but also — and, perhaps, chiefly — as an individual of vital interest and importance in himself. He seeks to enlist the students in an intelligent furthering of their own interests an l the interests of the University and community. Dean Albert K. Heckel. Page 22
