-ph Doyk Dean Amanda T. Bradley Dean of Women The Deans Dean Joseph Doyle Although Dean Joseph Doyle has only been here at Washington College for two years, he has adapted himself very well to being an ad- visor and counsellor for our students. He is a firm believer in student participation whereby the student should be aware of college problems and be allowed to express his opinions for improvement or change. Dean Doyle spends most of his time in the midst of college affairs, but he also has a great interest in literature and current public affairs. He is truly an inspiration in the field of edu- cation and in the molding of tomorrow ' s citizens. Dean Amanda Bradley Amanda T. Bradley, Dean of Women, will soon be entering her twenty-second year here at Washington College. During these years she has felt that the faculty has become more congenial and stable while the students became more di- versified in their activities. Miss Bradley thinks that Washington ' s origin, history, and traditions tend to make it small enough to be exclusive and unique enough to make it one of the best. Believing that the teaching profession is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, Dean Bradley has endeavored to enrich the lives of students at W. C. with her knowledge and under- standing.
