and aduise us In every large organization it is necessary that the ad- ministration, in order to function effectively, bring itself as close as possible to those for whom they arc administer- ing. The links between resident student and the adminis- tration at Villanova arc the hall prefects. . These priests, quartered throughout the dormitories, arc the direct over- seers of the resident students in their life outside of the classroom. They arc not, however, overseers in the de- rogatory sense. Their tasks do not consist merely with Checking a student out or checking him in.” They arc to the students, faculty members on perpetual duty: spir- itual advisors, and consultants. They arc the centers from which the fraternal atmosphere of college life radiates. It is with the inestimable help of the prefects that the student becomes integrated and identified with college life. PROCTORS ROW 1, SEATED: Father» J. J. Boyle. J. Touhy, J. Dunne. M. O’Donnell. R.
