Through payment of I: must bear requisition departments DEANS ENDEAIQ THEMSELVES TO STUDENTS Dean at William Jewell is Dr. Allen J. Moon, whose office is located on the second floor of Gano Chapel. Through his office the proposed programs of study of upperclassmen must go for approval, and must be checked for requirements. To him application must be made by seniors for graduation, and from his office is issued the honor roll at theend of every term. He is instrumental in the selection of the members of lVh0'r Who in American Colleger from the William Jewell student body. Secretary to the Dean is Thelma Thomasson, alumna of William Jewell,and well known to the stu- dents ofthe Hill. Through the guidance and direction of Dean Moon, many graduates of the college have gone on to do graduate work with the aid of scholarships and fellowships. As Dean of the College, he has done much to promote unity and harmony between the student body and faculty, for he is honored and respected by all who meet and know him. Dean of Women at William Jewell is Ruth Lindsey, whose office is in the library. Secretary to Dean Lindsey, who teaches classes in French as well as acting as Dean, is Nancy Campbell, senior after three years here at the Col- lege. Beloved by students of the Hill as well as students of Melrose Hall, where Miss Lindsey now makes her home, she wields a subtle hand in the control ofwomen's affairs on the campus. Concerned with the happiness of the girls onthe campus, Miss Lindsey is ever a willing confidante for troubled hearts and minds, ever ready to lend a helping hand or a kind word where it will do the most good. Widely traveled and possessed of an under- standing nature, her experiences have given her a wide knowledge of human nature, thus making her an ideal counselor and guide. BUT THESE GD IDN EUIQEVEIQ . . . . Secretary to Business Manager Davis is Jessie Norton, on whose shoulders falls much of the responsibility of the office affairs when Davis is out of town, as he must be so much of the time. Under his supervision is the improvement work going on about the campus, and familiar sight to students is Professor Davis walking over the cam- pus grounds, overseeing the projects under way. Records, records, records-here in the Treas- urer's office are kept the financial records of the College, under the leadership of Treasurer H. B. Early. Inclined in many instances to speak disparagingly of the office in general, no student dislikes the genial Mr. Early who presides over ,ff 1,, the affairs of the office. New addition to the office this year is official accountant Hodson, who keeps a very accurate check on the finances ofthe College. Familiar to students also is the office of the Registrar, where every student matriculates three times a year. Here is located the switchboard for all college telephones, and here are made out the grade reports which go out to parents or guardians every term. Dr. Sullivan is ably as- sisted by student secretaries. Interested in alumni achievement and endeavor- ing to correct the alumni files of the College is head of the newly-created department of Public Relations, P. Caspar Harvey. J ..,, mi.

Interested now mainly in the orientation of new students and the discovery of vocational interests of students after they enroll here, this office is active in the social acclimation of the student body. Interesting are the two large wall maps on which Mr. Prince marks with colored tacks the home-towns of William Jewell students. Secretary to Director Prince was Helen Means. Business manager of the College is john Davis, who also serves as head of the Department of Physics. Through his office pass the applications for deferred payment of tuition, and all notes made with the College must bear his signature.

AND ELADLY TEACH So reads the title of Bliss Perry s new best-seller, and no other three words could say more in the characterizing ofthe philosophy ofa true educator. No sacrifice too hundreds of lives each year here on the Hill. But their activities and influences spread far from just the four walls of their classrooms. Each Tuesday at New Ely Hall the faculty gathers for luncheon in the faculty dining room. The faculty wives have frequent luncheons and teas, promoting harmony and good ' feeling in this group. Even on the foggiest days even when the ground is wet, faculty foursomes flock to the Excelsior Springs Golf Course, with competition keen and rivalry even keener. The majority of the faculty members are ardent sup- porters ofthe teams that wear the red and black accom- panying the ewell varsity squads even on their longer trips. Familiar faculty faces may be spotted at the various athletic events on the Hill and at neighboring rival schools. Sorority and fraternity parties are always sponsored by some members from the faculty, who give the students a few lessons in bridge-playing and turning the light-fan- tastic. Teas dances dinners, picnics all these are splen- did opportunities for closer relationship between students and teachers outside the classroom. Choice of the faculty members are the books placed on reserve in the library providing students with multi- tudinous opportunities to keep out a book overtime, with the attached fine of twenty-five cents. Many of these books are personal copies lent graciously by the professors themselves. Several new faces have been added to the' faculty roster in this school year, the vacated places now having all been filled but how long such will be the case is un- certain. Only one of the faculty is away on leave of ab- sence, and she will return to her post in the fall. rwo members have given up their professorships here to fill positions in larger schools, and two have been taken by death in the past y ar.

Elmore had lived his allotted three score and ten years, having spent most of that time in Nebraska and the Middle West. 1 . Not surprised by his death were 1 his innumerable friends here on the J college campus and elsewhere, for he s gl had weakened noticeably in the few 4 months preceding his death, but none- theless shocked were these who had grown to love and respect him dur- ing his seventeen years as head of the Department of Biology. Six of his students bore his coffin into the Second Baptist Church, where he had been for such a long time a deacon, and his faculty associ- ates were the speakers at these last rites. Truly he was a great man and his memory will live long after him. 22 j,2zf 1-was -if 'zgggjg 4 ., , , N,a.a,a .gf Q, any 'ay : , f w . fm ' W ,fm f 4. c f, .V f had hung at half-mast for Dr. Elmore, it was again lowered in tribute to Dr. George Davidson, head of the Mod- ern Language department, who died early in September, 1940. Dr. Davidson had completed the translation of the famed Hubmaier X papers from their original German since his coming to the Hill. He was for a time a teacher at Hardin- Simmons, jewell's sister Baptist col- lege in Abilene, Texas. Graduated Scarcely five months after the flag from johns Hopkins University in 1899, he later took his doctor's degree from the University of Virginia. One of the favorite chapel speakers, Dr. Davidson's continual pacing across the stage gave him an unique place in the catalogs of those who heard him. An avid reader, especi- ally of detective and mystery stories, he owned a large collection of these books. Intellectually powerful, humanly interested in all that went on about him, his will be a hard place to fill.
