Cochel President .:K i al | SiJpl - M I HE Alumni Association of the I ' niversity ot Missouri lives because it strikes out upon its own, if you please, to prompt men and women to sense the responsibility of public service, a public service that will not end with the boundaries of our own nation. The alumni are inspired and have a determination to achieve this goal. The alumni are eager for every undergraduate to determine that with all of his doing he shall serve his day and generation, and serve it in every one of his domestic and foreign contacts, serve it in every expression of its need, with training, with skill, with leadership, and with a devotion that Universities have always held up before us as ideals. If anyone is to point the way out of our troublesome days it is the man and the woman who have had the advantages of the best that this great nation has been able to afford, through the institutions of higher learning. These are the men and women of courage .... and the world owes much to them. It is moral courage that characterizes the highest order of manhood and womanhood — the courage to seek and to speak the truth; the courage to be just: the courage to be honest; the courage to resist temptation and the courage to do one ' s dutv.

The 1934 Savitar BOARD OF CURATORS OFFICERS Frank J. McDavid President H. W. Lennox Vice-President Leslie Cowan Secretary R. B. Price Treasurer Frank J. McDavid President - ' % y ' npHE state constitution of Missouri provides for a board of curators composed of nine members to be appointed by the governor. Each member serves for a term of six years. The curators serve without pay, receiving only expenses. In order the board might never be made up entirely of new members the constitution requires that three members be changed every two years. Not more than five of the curators can be from one political part}-, and no two are to be from the same congressional district. The law requires that the board hold at least two meetings each year. These are set for December and June unless different days are fixed by the board. There are two committees of the board. The executive board is in charge of the l niversity at Columbia. The executive committee has charge of the Missouri School of Mines at Rolla. Each of these committees has three members elected from the board in June of each year. The com- mittees meet each month. The board meets at least four times each year, although the law requires only the two meetings. The board is subject to meet on call. Up until April 1 of this year the Board of Curators had already held four meetings. c- u l - Cowan Lennox Blanton Walsh Arnold McDavid Ward Speer ZWICK WlLLSON Williams : 5tJ V«J Pasc IS

The 1934 Savilar Albert K. Hf.ckel Dean of Men T7VERV September several thousand young people arrive on our campus, many of them for the first time. Entrance into the University is for most freshmen a critical period in their lives, for they are brought face to face with very new and often very difficult problems. Most of the freshmen will go through a period of confusion and bewilderment. They are compelled to adjust themselves, not only to new studies, but to new methods of teaching and to new forms of social participation and student activities. The size of university enrollments has in itself made the student ' s problems more diverse and more compelling than they were a generation ago. This has intensified the need of guidance. Therefore, a dean of men, through per- sonal contacts, endeavors to help young men to a solution of their individual difficulties both in the classroom and outside of it. The general function of the dean of men is to direct the life of the undergraduates, to the end that they may realize a higher attainment — scholastic, moral, and social — Page 10 DEAN OF MEN S. G.

By sympathetic understanding and counsel he seeks to enlist the students in an intelligent furthering of their own interests and the interests of the University and the commu- nity. His advice is available to e ■ery young man in the institution and to every student organization. At all times the dean of men purposes to deal with each student, not only as a member of a complex organization, but also, and perhaps chiefly, as an indi- vidual of vital importance to himself.
