DEAN AMANDA HEPPNER

Dean of Women

PPROXIMATELY twenty-six hundred undergraduate and one hundred graduate women are registered in the University this year. The office of the Dean of Women looks after their needs and assists them in their adjustment to the college environment and college demands. A housing bureau and an employment bureau assist the young women in finding suitable lodging and gainful employment. The office stands ready at all times to render such service as the needs of the college women may require. Counsel and information dealing with the varied problems and perplexities of women students will be gladly given.

   The training received in the intra and extra-activities should prepare the student for proper college citizenship and for the larger and more effective citizenship in after-college life. The attitude towards opinions, traditions, and principles of the college world may determine one's attitude towards life in the larger world. The scholastic, ethical, moral, and spiritual standards will, in a measure, be responsible for the nature of the precepts and of the character of the maturer individual. The majority of the college women maintain fine standards and ideals, and are amenable to further suggestions which will guide them towards a higher goal.

   There has been a steady and notable improvement in the desire to promote superior scholarship. In spite of the fact that the requirements have been made severer, the number of recipients of Phi Beta Kappa honors has been increased. With the enlarged enrollment, the high-minded and right-thinking leaders will need to stress constantly the importance of excellent grades honestly obtained, and help to direct their more confused or misguided classmates towards the worthwhile achievements which represent the real meaning and purpose of University life.
