Our ' Dean DEAN HENRY H. HIBBS A.B., Clumberland College; A.M., Brown University Ph.D., Columbia University Without question no other indi -idual has been more significant in RPI ' s rapid climb up the educational ladder as has Dean Henry H. Hibbs. Since the inception of RPI in 1917 Dr. Hibbs has been the guiding and controlling force in the school ' s development. His executive and administrative ability have been decisive factors in building in RPI perhaps one of the most unique colleges of its kind in the South. His sincere and genuine interest in student activities has won the respect and admiration of the entire student body. Our Dean ' s progressive spirit has been reflected in the physical and academic growth of RPI.

' Dedication Rounding out her 26th year of work here at RPI, Mrs. Virgie Chalkley is retiring as Hostess of Founders Hall. The ever popular house mother has long been a favorite with students and faculty alike. Always devoted to her work, Mrs. Ch.m.ki.ev ne ' cr forgot her girls — she always put them first. Her gentle nature produced a steadying influence at Founders, as it did around the campus. Her willingness to help won for her the respect and admiration of all who came to know her. Somewhere in the book of trite sayings could be found an appropriate adage to quote here. Yet there is little left to be said, for her long years of loyalty to RPI and its students speak for themselves. Her absence will leave a void not easily filled. So it is with deep respect that we, the staff of the Wigwam, dedicate this annual to Mrs. Virgie Ch.alklev.
