...Q-' -mi By President, Deans, Faculfy Mr. Douglas V. McClane serves Whitman, his alma mater, in a variety of posts. Principally Director of Admissions and Registrar, he is also Faculty Secretary, chief recruiting agent for new Whitmanites, and a congenial person whenever you en- counter him on the campus. Prob- ably the first person you knew as an entering freshman, Mr. McClane has a faculty for remembering names and faces of the students he ushers into Whitman. Dean William R. Davis, known to freshmen as Dean of the Division of Letters and Arts, is known to upper- classmen as Professor of English. Beloved by English majors for his lively converastion and friendly chuckle, he is to all students the embodiment of what they call the Whitm:n Spirit . Dr. Mabel Barbee Lee, Vtlhitmans acting Dean of Women, is always interested in talking about anything concerning Whitman girls. Friendly and likeable, she is an efficient Dean, and, as an advocate of progressive education and student government, she has done much to further these principles at Whitman, Mrs. Lee is capably helped hy Helen Kinsinger. Dr. Chester C. Maxey holds forth in his office in Memorial Hall as Dean of the Division of Social Sciences and Professor of Political Science. Dean Maxey took graduate work at the University of Wisconsin and Colum- bia University, but at heart he is a native Whitmanite, having been con- nected with the college since l925. Dr. Charles J. Armstrong left his position as middle-man between Whitman and the Navy V-l2 this year to become Dean of Administration and to take over the all-important job of Veterans Counselor. ln this post he helps our returning servicemen to feel at home here. He came to Whitman three years ago from Brown University and Rollins College. Of- ficially, Dr. Armstrong is Assistant Professor of Classics. Dr. Frank L. Haigh, Professor of Chemistry and Dean of the Division of Basic Sciences, keeps a watchful eye on the would-be chemists of Billings Hall. Master of things scien- tific, he teaches courses from be- ginning chem to advanced inorganic and physical chemistry, and directs scientific freshmen in planning their college programs.
