It is that inval uable part of education that teaches b} ' learning to do. It is of value too l)ecause campus activities are a great deal like life in the big outside world toward which all student eyes turn hopefulh ' and almost im- patiently. Campus activities give unusually good training in the art of managing people. No more useful skill than this can be ac- quired. It is one of the most valuable assets of personality. Campus activities develop initiative, resourcefulness, and judg- ment. They enrich personal contacts and increase friendships. Of all the kinds of activities existing on the modern campus the field of publications has perhaps the most highly valued opportunities. Mrs. Bessie Leach Priddy Dean of Women Publications have the value of perma- nence in their products. In the second place they cultivate both literary and artistic abilit -. In the third place the ' demand a high order of executive ability and in the fourth place they offer the worker a possi- bility of building up a strong loyalty to the institution. Without doubt the Inixersit)- yearbook is a sort of climax of efTort in the alucd publication field. To its staff come many returns. The most valuable of its returns is the permanent value of its contribution. The Savitar of 1933-4 will last while the institution lasts. Its jMcture of campus life is therefore ver - important, its contribution most significant. Pate 21

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.
