Dean of Men Dean of Women 3 Registrar GEORGE F. RALSTON GERTRUDE M. 'WILLIAMS ADMINISTRATION The heart and soul of Wilkes may be a cheering crowd at a football game, a bunch of fellows and gals swapping stories over coffee in the Cafeteria, or one of those so-serious bull sessions held right before every big exam, but What makes the school tick can be found right in Chase Hall, the general headquarters of Wilkes College. a Amid the typewriters, adding machines, leathery offices, HERBERT J. MORRIS Enclil narrow halls is the organization behind Wilkes o ege. Upstairs in the back of Chase Hall is Dr. Farleyis office. Here the President of Wilkes carries out his official business. Occasionally he'll swing around on his swivel chair and look out his Wide expanse of windows. Below is his college. At times he may be seen chatting with one comptrOH-ler of the students about some school problem. It is here that Dr. Farley looks out for the welfare of Wilkes, and the community which the school serves. Down the hall is the office of Dean of Women, Mrs. Gertrude Williams. Succeeding Dean Harker, Mrs. Wil- liams has done a commendable job as an efficient and popular administrator. A newspaper reporter of note and one of the outstanding instructors in the English Depart- ment, Mrs. Williams has tackled her new position of Dean of Women like a reporter on a new assignment. She, her- self, says that it has been an exciting first year. Across the hall from Dean Williams is the office of George Ralston, Dean of Men. Energetically solving the myriad of personal and professional problems that find their way to his desk, Dean Ralston still has time to talk to students about their personal problems, advise under- grads and grads, and lend his sparkling sense of humor and love of fun to the campus. Dean Raiston uses his spare time constructively by being Athletic Director, head r ' football and basketball coach, Faculty resident of the But- DONALD R. KERSTEEN ler Dormitory, and adviser to the Lettermen's Club. 1m Eight

DEPARTMENT HEADS The vital role of the department heads cannot be overemphasized. Their never ending interest in standards, student activities, reference mate- rials, and curriculum is responsible for much of Wilkes' rapidly improving position among liberal arts colleges. To aid them in this, they bring a wealth of specialized training and experience, as well as study, travel, and teaching the world over, thus giving them the cosmopolitan viewpoint so essential to the well-rounded development of the student. Two new department heads were welcomed this year, Dr. Smith as head of the Education Department, and Mr. Detroy as head of the Music De- partment, both of whom have made possible even more varied courses than were heretofore available.
