Dean of Women She personifies her ultimate for every Christian girl: a lady. From this high ideal to a million petty prob- lems: a la carte tickets, roommate squabbles, and banquet per. It is the exceptional person who makes an occupation of others’ problems. As with the rest of Wheaton’s deans, problem solving is Mrs. Smith’s job. At the freshman conferences she meets each girl student to help her find the “me at Wheaton.” She makes a regular visit to both the girls’ and fel- lows’ health education classes. She encourages the girls to give boys a reason for acting like gentlemen. She encourages boys to be gentlemen, especially when they are given no reason. Her work is quiet, and it is an important part of Wheaton’s goal of making whole people. Corinne R. Smith, A.M. Dean of Students When a dean is not engaged in his employment, he is probably sick and tired of student problems. Yet none of the puzzled little student problems have ever found the man with the official signature to be any- thing but accommodating—on, and off record. Soft job? Hardly. Among the most thankless, and some- times thoroughly unpleasant. A sturdy consolation to every Wheaton lad is the knowledge that if he were in trouble (hung buddy or gal problem) he would not be without a competent advocate. But he doesn’t have to wait for the rare occasion of dis- aster to find a warm understanding in the office of the Dean of Students. Arthur H. Volle, Ph.D. 23

Dean of the Graduate School There seems to be no end to the tiny but important facts, the clear patterns, and the new meanings that accompany all of Dr. Tenney’s teaching and ministry. As the head of the graduate school he must deal with all the personnel and administrative work that pro- vides a smooth background and keeps a consistently high standard for the school’s work in Christian edu- cation on the graduate level. As a teacher and friend of the students he is a constant challenge and help in the work of each one. To his numerous out- side speaking engagements, he brings the wealth of scholarship and the devotion from experience. He is appreciated and loved by both his faculty and his students. Merrill C. Tenney, Ph.D. Dean of the College The students have such a difficult time managing the faculty that they consider themselves able to sympathize readily with the man whose job it is. He coordinates the Ph.D.’s and grapples with the cur- riculum for the prospective B.A.’s. The craze to study abroad sweeps in epidemic proportions through the student body now and then; the dean of the col- lege acts the part of pharmacist with statistics for the dreamers, and encourages every serious applicant to try for a scholarship. The pressures of increasing numbers of applicants and the problems of rising academic standards accumulate. They await tangi- ble solution across his desk. John H. Fadenrecht, Ed.D. 22
