CLE 966025 . To find a combination of charm and common sense in a personality is always a pleasant experience: to find it in a dean of women is valuable as well. Miss Alma Hunt in this capacity has proved as much this year. Many innovations have come about at her direction. As phys- ical education director, the girls admire her vitality and enthus- iasm: as counselor and dean they admire her fairness, understand- ing and initiative. In the intelli- gent way in which she fulhlls her position as dean of women, she exemplifies the charm and personality which Iewell women have always sought to achieve. Miss Hunt received her A.B. degree from Virginia State Tea- chers College and came to Will- iam Iewell in the fall of this year. Since I928, Allen I. Moon has served as dean of the college. In this capacity he acts as director of curriculum and improvement of instruction. He also conducts classes in Latin. He has his A.M. and LL.D. degrees from Howard College and took graduate Work in the University of Virginia and the University of Chicago. Possess- ing the admirable qualities neces- sary for a successful college dean as well as a keen wit and schol- arly aptitude, he fills his posi- tion capably. Deans . . 27

I-IESTER One of the chief values of a college education lies in the friendly relationship between the student and his teachers. This relationship is to be seen both in the classroom and outside professional circles. In the classroom the professor is the authority, the instructor, the leader. He is in charge of the class and is responsible for its Work. But the Work of the teacher is not one of domination or tyrannical authority. It is a cooperatvie enterprise. It is an ex- perience filled with thrilling possibilities for the student and great satisfaction for the teacher. The professors interest in students is not conhned to classroom instruction. He is a friend who covets the confidence of students. Heunever urges them to come to him for personal help and counsel, but he Welcomes them when they come. He listens sympa- thetically and talks sparingly. He keeps in strictest confidence the secrets of his young friends. He recognizes the rights of the individual and respects his per- sonality. The advice he may offer is given not as a com- 'mand but as a suggestion. lt is offered only with the purpose H of being helpful. 26 . . D1-.Hester
