V, « • S VICE PRESIDENT In 1945, Dr. Wynand Withers came from presidency of Hope College to the new office of vice president of Western. Among his responsibilities are the supervision and improvement of the facultv and instruction, and, with the Educa- tional Policies Committee, revision of curricular of- ferings, practices and policies. The administration of Western has multiplied proportionately with its enrollment. From a staff of two. President Waldo and his secretary, plus a director of the campus school, it has grown to in- clude 15 busy people. Miss Roxanne Steele, the secretary, was also registrar of the college. As presi- dent, Waldo ' s job at that time was a very personal one in relation to the students. The first Dean of Women came in 1916, the first Dean of Men in 1925. In 1934, the office of Dean of Administration was initiated, and Dr. Sangren was appointed to the position. When Sangren became president in 1936, at the end of a three year battle for the survival of the school, he created new offices and redistributed duties. DEAN OF ADMINISTRATION-REGISTRAR Mr. Clayton Maus assists the President in the areas of supervision of student class programs and activities, enrollemnt procedures, and student loans.
