Smith, Whittier College has grown more in the past ten years, both in caliber and quantity of students as well as facilities, than in the preceding fifteen years. Through his creative and experienced direction, Whittier College has again this year increased its repu- tation as an institution of distinction. Construction began in the fall on the long awaited multi-million dollar science building largely through the efforts of President Smith who made trips across the country to gain funds for this facility. Being as busy as he is, President Smith manages to keep his office open Monday mornings for unscheduled conferences with students who desire his counsel and guidance.

Aided by her secretary, Miss Loretta Malone, and her assistant, Marilyn Linton, she supervises all aspects of dormitory living, especially that of bringing present dorm policies up to date. Working in conjunction with the social direc- tor, she helps organize campus social events, and with Intersociety, she works to improve Whittier College academically and socially. She is also the advisor to the AWS and assists in all women's activities. DEAN OF STUDENTS - ln the position of Dean of Students, Dean Charles Montgomery interprets and enforces college policies on student conduct and on any activities of the Associated Students. Continuing the project he started last year, he would like to estab- lish a more uniform set of codes and policies affecting the students. This goal is a chal- lenge because, while making the rules stan- dard, he feels that the Quaker philosophy of working each problem out individually must be remembered. Dean Montgomery also serves as advisor to the Student Exec. With this committee, he feels that the communication of policies plays an important role in their adequacy.
