Show THE DEAN OF MEN m ;:;. m I,- ¦ ' / [HE appointment of Dr. R. D. Harriman to the position of Acting Dean of Men is a forward step in university administration because of the happy combination of an excellent man in a position very much needed on the campus. The need for a dean of men has been long recognized. In the absence of such a position it has been the duty of President Thomas to listen to all complaints, judge all cases, and adjust the troubles of the men students -obviously a task too detailed and arduous to impose upon a man charged with the larger task of running an institution of the size and complexity of the University. Dr. Harriman's contact with students has always been of the most cordial and inspirational type. Without yielding to the error of becoming a "popular" professor, he has identified himself with the problems, interests, and ambitions of the undergraduate. He has coordinated this understanding with a fine appreciation of the outlook of the faculty, and the result is an effective laison of two groups which often diverge in point of view. The appointment of Dr. Harriman will also do much to lessen the burden of Dean Van Cott, who has done her best to help the men as well as the women.
