Dean Carl Morrouf took his B. A. degree from the University of Zon ' d and was as¬ sistant Dean of Men at that school for four years. He also had eight years experience in the public and high schools of Iowa be¬ fore coming to Washington Slate as first Dean of Men in 1 926. T WO YEARS of service in supervising the so¬ cial life, health, scholarship, and general welfare of the men students of Washington State have proved that the office of the Dean of Men is essential to a smoothly functioning college. Heretofore the college men lacked the friendship and advice of an older and more experienced person whose interest is pri¬ marily in them. A chain in the link of col¬ lege administration was missing until the of¬ fice of the Dean of Men was established. The individual problems of every man on the campus concern the Dean of Men and he strives constantly to help students overcome their difficulties. Especially to freshmen is the office of help, as it starts them on the right road to a successful college career. Although young in existence, the admin¬ istrative importance of this office has made it an integral part of the institution. — Page 23 —

Dean Annie M. Fertig Dean Annie M. I ' crtig icceived her li. I degree from the Universilg of Chicago and her M. A. from Columbia. Her work out¬ side of the State College and previous ex¬ perience in girls ' affairs have made her serv ices invaluable. N OTHING which concerns a woman student is outside the interest of the office of the Dean of Women. It is particularly concerned with the development of the whole individual and was established with this ideal in mind. We recognize today the obligation resting upon college women to do much of the world ' s housekeeping. For this end the trained mind is essential, but it is only the beginning of a woman’s preparation for use¬ fulness. A body that is strong enough to bear the stress and strain is one of the essen¬ tials. Social poise, training in leadership, and an understanding of people gained through activity interests are recognized as necessities for the women who would serve humanity. When we have developed the trained mind, the sound body and social graces, we would have failed if the character of the college grad¬ uate were not an equal. It can be likened to an untuned violin. Only discord can come from the finest instrument ever made if the owner of it docs not have both the skill and the desire to tune and play it. It is the urge of woman to bring her world into tune: her habitual reaction toward people and things; her “set,” in the terms of the psychologist, that makes up what we call character. The office of the Dean of Women has for its peculiar concern the development of char¬ acter. It has the best material upon wdiich to work. It dreams of the service which the women trained at the State College of Wash¬ ington may render in the coming years. It welcomes every advantage and every agency that helps to make its dream come true. — Page 22 —

Dean Hubert V. Carpenter Dean Hubert V. Carpenter has been affiliated with the Slate College of Washington since 1901, having had one of the longest continuous services in the col¬ lege of any faculty member. His college work was done at the University of Illinois, where he received his B. S. and M. S. degrees. He was also an instruc¬ tor at the University of Illinois before he came to Washington State. He has done much original inves¬ tigation in road construction, and he is considered an authority on that phase of engineering. Mechanic Arts and Engineering D EVELOPMENT in the field of science and me¬ chanics has made necessary the development of technically trained men to manage ' , construct, operate, and invent the new articles made possible by this added knowledge. As a result, engineering is becoming a greater and more important vocation every day. The College of Mechanic Arts and Engineering offers four-year courses leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science in each of the following lines: Agricultural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Physics, Architecture, and many specialized branches of engineering. The aim in each of these courses is to give thorough training in the fundamental principles which form the basis of the profession. The equipment of all the laboratories and work rooms is of the most modern and satisfactory develop¬ ment. Three entire buildings are devoted to the study of the various phases of engineering. As we learn more about mechanics and the unknown laws of na¬ ture. engineering will take an even more important place in the curriculum. Ell . Front Row: Carpenter.
