They • weren't snob bish, just indifferent." The former dean found there were many small circles in the community and he set out to en large the circles into community- , wide affairs. This project pro vided the inspiration that' led him into many community enter prises. As dean of men, he has had his fingers in student activities. He believes that a college student can do more than anyone ,will give give him credit for doing, if given the chance.

But when the time came, we didn't even seriously consider returning." -- • , He also . feveals that during the first six months in State College he regretted his decision to come helm, • "It was a tough winter with 100 Sleighing days," 'the former `dean recalls. "But it was - followed by a Million-dollar spring and\we haye . neVer since regretted our decision to come to Penn State and these 'beautiful Pennsylvania " BX in Operation Again This Year.
