Show THE <DEAN OF WOMEN eXCEPTING not even the President of the University, there is no work more important, no position more responsible, than that of Miss Lucy M. Van Cott, Dean of Women. The work of directing the academic efforts of the students is of course important, but students cannot learn and grow and benefit from their educational surroundings unless living under favorable physical and social conditions. It is the duty of Dean Van Cott to see these conditions are favorable-which is no easy task. Among the physical needs which absolutely must be provided for are a plentiful amount of good food; comfortable, pleasant living quarters; good clothing; relaxation; and rest. For twenty years Dean Van Cott has attended to these needs, as patiently and tirelessly as any mother, assisting in the finding of suitable lodging, boarding, and housekeeping quarters; obtaining employment; collecting for a clothing bureau which serves not only the girls but boys as well; directing a girls' loan fund; supervising rest rooms; and always being on the spot where help and advice are needed. Miss Van Cott is equally active in supplying the social needs of her girls- asscociation with other students, entertainment, and recreation. Miss Lucy M.
