 GRADUATE of Wittenberg College, Dean B. H. Pershing has served his alma mater for eleven years as a professor, and for the last four years also as the Dean of Men. He received both his A.B. and B.D. degrees from Wittenberg; his A.M. degree he received from the University of Pittsburgh, and his Ph.D. degree from Chicago University. He was an assistant professor at Chicago University, and was a professor and acting president of Thiel College before he returned to Witten- berg. Always approachable, this man is as easy to talk to as a fellow student. His sound ad- vice and the enthusiasm which he shows in all his activity are typical of the true Wittenberg spirit. MEMBER of the faculty who can write thirteen years of service to Wittenberg after her name, is Dean Ruth Immell. Her home is in Pennsylvania, and, consequently, her alma mater is the University of Pennsyl- vania. She received her A.B. degree there, and two years later her M.A. degree. She was, for a time, Dean of Women at Hamline Col- lege. From there she came to Wittenberg. Miss Immell acts as chairman of the faculty committee for the Alma Mater Pageant every year as well as attending the numerous meet- ings that her position requires. She inter- views every freshman woman during the year, and thus creates the personal contact so vital to a well-rounded college life. Her social con- tact. as well as her administrative position, is extremely valuable to Wittenberg women. Pa ft Elect n

Dean A FEW more days and another college year will close with a joyous and color- ful commencement season. Already parents, alumni, and neighbors are planning a visit to the campus to spend a few days among familiar scenes with old friends, reliv- ing college days. l or them it will be a visit to a shrine that symbolizes some of the finest emotions they have experienced. From the four winds, men and women of America are making a path along the upper Susquehanna and into the C atskill Hills of New York, to a little mound that rests beside a huge boulder which has the vantage point from which John Burroughs viewed this land- scape of rare charm, and dreamed the long, long thoughts of youth. Travelers leave the highway, climb the slope, and reverently seek C. G. SI IATZER. Dean the spot where rests one who has led them discerningly along the tinkling brooks and among quiet hills. How like this are pilgrimages to Alma Mater, the shrine of friendships made and perpetuated; of companionship with students and instructors; of books, the inalienable com- rades of the years; of promptings to think, to observe, and to appreciate the best that life holds. The stars come nightly to the sky. The tidal wave comes to the sea; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high Can keep my own away from me. “ Waiting'—Burroughs. C. G. SHATZER Dean '«««■ Tm
