Dean Callisen is extremely popular among the umlergrzuluates, and para- doxically. particularly among those students who have been 'ealled 011 the mat. His keen sense of fair play and justice are responsible for this. 1 JOHN W. SPAETH Professor Spaeth graduated frnm Haver- fm-d College in 1917 and did graduate work at Harvard and Princeton.

It is Don's responsihility to determine whether a prospect fits into the 1Vesleyau picture 01' not. Often this is tick- 1ish business at best. But that he, in conjunc- tion with the operations of the Manpower Commissiim. has done a splendid job. can he attested to by the hue showing of the 1Vesley2m Freshmen classes during the past three years. 19 Dean Sterling A.
