BOARD OF TRUSTEES The smooth but silent functioning of the college Board of Trustees is rarely felt hv the student body, though decisions of the Board form the maintsay ot our school regulations, academic and administrative. Monthly meetings of the Board determine school policy, from campus regulations to financial dispensations. Few of us would recognize a trustee if we saw him, but all of us feel daily the results of the Board ' s decisions. TRUSTEES Mr. Raymond S. Siiortlidgk, Prcudcnl Paoli Dr. John L. Johnson, I ' icc president W ' est Chester Mrs. H. C. Donaiioo, Secrclaiy- ' rira.mrcr Chester Mr. vSamukl p. Cloud West Chester Mrs. Anna B. Coopkr Pineville Mrs. Irma I . Ivnauer Poltstown Mr. Aura.m M. Kulp I latfield Mr. Tno.NiAS A. Rilky Wcsltown Mr. Frank I . Truscott Philailclphia - OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Though comparatively few of the student body have occasion to frequent the office of President Charles S. Swope, those who have are always sure of a cordial reception and a pleasant interview. Laden with executive duties as he is, Dr. Swope is ne ' er too l)us ' to spare a lew moments lor an ' student with a problem. In his office, one forgets any president-student relationship and is conscious only of the fact that here is a real friend and a sympathetic adviser. 12

A special word of thanks must be tendered to Dr. Swope ' s secretarv. Miss Mary Weir, whose bright smile and lo able personality are particularly helpful m calming the qualms ot the dozens ot students who sit daiK ' in the office awaiting their turns with the dean or the president. -Mary has never failed to be encouraging in her response to the constant query, What sort of mood is he in today? , and we ha e come to look upon her as a real friend with a genuine interest in our welfare. Hours spent b ' the a ' erage West Chester student, regardless of his year or of liis curriculum, in the pleasant atmosphere of Dean Winiield W. Alenhennett ' s office would add up to a staggering figure. There is barely a person on this campus who does not come into contact with the Dean several times during a semester, be it a question of blue cards or of the eternal what elective? Each one of us regards him as a sort of mentor-confessor antl as a real friend in need, whether or not we have had the pmilege of being in his memorable sociology classes. Aiany a grateful student, harassed by curriculum troubles, has been heard to say, I don ' t know how I ' d graduate without himl With such a sentiment, every one of us would most heartilv asree. 13
