PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT As dean of the college. Dr. G. J. Neumann has won the respect and admiration of Wartburg students. He is making every effort to enable Wartburg to take her place in the edu- cational guidance program of today. Dean Neumann says, ' ' The very considerable increase in our enroll- ment over last year ' s is a source of sat- isfaction. Our admission to the Iowa Conference is a real step forward. The willingness and zeal with which the Student Council is bringing about a closer co-operation of teachers and students is commendable and hearten- ing. Now let each of us, teacher and student alike, face the coming year with a glad determination to make the most of all it may have to offer. Mr. Fritz;, dean of men, and Miss Kaiser, dean of women, are specialists in their respective fields. Their duties are those of counselors and advisers. According to Dean Fritz, Wartburg ' s underlying principle is to know her students ' one by one. ' The college is fully aware that many students have difficulty in the selection of courses, the choice of a vocation, and adjustment to a new routine of living and emotional and spiritual conflicts. The dean of men ' s office has been established in order to aid the student in utilizing the facilities available with the least risk of uncertainty and failure. Censure, blame, and unsympathetic criti- cism are not the methods of this office. On the contrary, friendship, encouragement, sympathetic insight, and confidence are the processes involved to assist each student in facing and overcoming the obstacles that may hinder adjustment to the many phases of college life. Miss Kaiser is in general charge of the activities of women students. In every possible way she tries to be of assistance to the women in learning to make constructive personal adjustments. The problems which present themselves for her consideration are those which are incidental to the life of the young woman. If Wartburg College is to produce the type of woman which our nation and our church expect of her, the intellectual, social, moral, and spiritual leadership must be embodied in the dean of women.

PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE EDWARD J. BRAULICK Overlooking the city of Eisenach, and casting its protective shadows over the hallowed Thuringian forest, the stately Wartburg castle, once the proud home of the Margraves of Thuringia, stands li}{e a guardian spirit. ' Within its halls the ardent Minnesingers tuned their lyres, and virtuous Elizabeth, wife of Landgrave Ludwig, developed into a saint. ' Within its rooms Luther gave to the German people his greatest gift — his masterful German translation of the T ew Testament. Here Doctor Merle d ' Auhigue of Geneva received the inspiration to write his eloquent history of the Reformation; here the church- governments of Germany have been wont to gather to deliberate on matters of Church policy, especially as it refers to Luther ' s Bible. What memories of mediaeval poetry and piety the ancient Wartburg calls forth! What an heritage of faith and scholarship it has passed on to us! Wartburg of Eisenach, we salute thee! J estled among lofty elms which, lil e the pipes of a mighty organ, give voice to Tslature and to Man in their various moods, the newer V artburg of ' Waverly hopes to carry on the wor}{, so nobly begun by Luther and his friends. May poetry and piety retune their lyres within her halls and again sing the praises of God! May her lecture rooms and her dormitories resound with the voice of the scholar and the prophet! Dedicated to the wor of Lutheran education in America, may she inspire young men and young women to go forth into life as leaders who will preserve to posterity the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Reformation. Wartburg of Waverly, we salute thee! Eight
