Page 2 3 Faculty Administration Dean Carl Morrow T vEAN CARL Morrow received his B. A. degree from the University of Iowa and was assistant Dean of Men at that school for four years. He had, also, eight years of experience in the public and high schools of Iowa before coming to Washington State as first Dean of Men in 1926. Service is the objective and ideal behind the functioning of the office of Dean of Men, service in supervising the social life, health, scholarship, and general welfare of the group as a whole. His purpose is to be of help in solving the student ' s problems, in aiding the student to meet those difficulties which may bar the way to success or even make it im¬ possible to continue a college career. This office has proved itself essential to a smoothly functioning col¬ lege and has become an integral part of the institution.

Faculty Administration Page 22 Dean Annie M. Fertig Dean of Women There is nothing too good for women of the State College. Our desire is to give them the training, both physical and mental, which shall help to make them worthy and influential citizens of the state. Signed, Mrs. Annie M. Fertig. npo GIVE counsel to each young woman enrolled at the State College; to guide each in achieving a more nearly perfect sense of values in dealing with her academic and personal problems; and above all, to be a friend of every individual; these are but a few of the duties of the Dean of Women. Mrs. Fertig received her B. A. degree from the University of Chicago, and her M. A. from Columbia. Her previous experience in girls ' affairs as well as her excellent work since she has been here have made her services invaluable to the State College.

Faculty Administration Enoch A. Bryan ITT HAT are the fundamental traditions of the State College? Over the stage in the auditorium are the never-to-be-forgotten words, “founded to promote the education of the industrial classes for the several pur¬ suits and professions of life. Human life expresses itself, not through an ab¬ stract, but through a concrete idealism—a pursuit or profession of life. Democracy is a fundamental tradition of the State College. The college has drawn its membership from all classes of people, but once here and enrolled in full membership no one claims superiority because of antecedents, natural or artificial. All are equal in the eyes of all. All have an equal chance to win honors in all student activities and organizations. Some, mayhap, must earn a livelihood as they are earning an education. Are they therefore to be looked down on, ostracized, because of this? It never has been so. May it never be so. Loyalty. In the early days this was almost a passion with student body and faculty. Personal sacrifices for loyalty were willingly—almost eagerly made. Slight by innuendo or open insult to the college or its representatives was promptly resented and the honor of the college name defended. The members, whether faculty or student, left no room for ignorance or envy of the functions or equipment of the college to smirch its fair name. Campus traditions take time to become traditions. There are years of sifting and it has become a tradition of the traditions to sift out and drop those that have in them any unworthy element. Memorials. No matter how or by whom established, it is well to cherish them with respect. The totem pole grew out of a prank; the Evergreen foun¬ tain was the fine thought of an active editor and business manager; the noble Roman archway was due to the aspirations and sacrifices of the class of 1905; the Chinook itself is monumental in its character and purposes. Preserve the traditions with care. Among the alumni, now a long line of active an d successful men and women, engaged in the several pursuits and professions of life, it has become a tradition to preserve the tradition of simplicity, democracy and usefulness that was cher¬ ished as campus ideals in “the college that stands on the hill whose emblem is the crimson and gray.
